I much prefer the 'smart' in my watches to be from a century+ of engineering and design.

Two things here ... one is from another comment of mine, earlier ...

— — —

I like “marvels of [mechanical] engineering” too. There is something nostalgic about it and it is fascinating ... the fascination that invisible electrons flowing through circuits too small to be seen do not engender.

BUT, once I get over the nostalgia and get back to reality, I want those invisible electrons, in their “too tiny circuits,” in order to get a lot of things done productively ... and Apple is the best at that productivity for the mass market!

— — —

And then, the other thing ... Apple Watch is not a watch ... as I said earlier:

— — —

It’s a wrist computer with over a thousand apps on it ... which happens to also show the time!

I’ve also got a desktop computer that shows the time and I know that’s not a watch! And my iPhone shows the time, and I also know that’s not a watch.

AND ... my iPad actually has some fancy watch faces ... but ... I don’t consider that a watch either. And, by the way, I’m typing on my “watch” ... ummm, no, I mean “iPad” ... right now ... LOL ...
