TECH PING!.................
Another leash.
Just ask you-know-who what time it is [though she is unaware of any physical relocations to other time zones].
I do not wear a watch, but I always know exactly what time it is, (except for 4 weeks each year when they artificially change time) It is messed up.
If I were to wear a watch it would be an automatic.
or maybe a vintage casio

Google’s hardware has not been entirely successful. Think “Glassholes”.

I like it, but what do you use as your compass to calibrate it ?
The North Star............Since it’s only visible at night it makes it kinda difficult..............
Yeah, I’ve read about that. Bezos is weird..................
but I like the long clock idea, I am pretty sure in 9700 years what ever inhabits the earth will wonder what happens when the clock ends.

I purchased a Samsung Watch 3. All black and upgraded with a black finish metal band identical to the Casio. A nice setup. It has 4G LTE as well. The specs are great, but I ran into a problem. The small laser scanners used to get blood SP02 and pulse generated a 2nd degree burn on my skin inside of 3 weeks. Others with the same model had the same experience. Samsung was very secretive about dealing with customers with the problem. I sent my watch to their facility for "repair". They held it for 5 weeks trying to decide if a repair or refund was the approach. I had to lean hard on them to return my property as they really didn't want to do a refund. They feigned a repaired. On return, the watch performed as before. I only wear it for special occasions when I want a "dressy" watch. It can't live on my wrist without burning it. It turns out that even the Charge 4 puts a small 2nd degree burn on my wrist under the heart rate/SPO2 sensor window. It's just much smaller than the Watch 3 sensor "footprint", so the blister was smaller.

I’ve been collecting watches for many years. Mostly Rolex. Some have gone through the roof. I have several (Daytona’s) that have appreciated over 250% because I stumbled into very good deals a few years back.
The “smartwatch” is interesting I guess but not to me....
