Ya,

That's why some start to wear smart rings instead.

I still think it's pointless to me for now.

tu lah, normal layman still believe Swiss made watches are all perfect without flaw
lolz
most of them, except really high end like Lange, are mass manufactured by machine, flaws aplenty, and many with print etc. imperfection (which normal layman will say they are fake replica doh.gif )

Curious question for everyone here: Has anybody moved away from smartwatches and gone back to mechanical watches? Why did you do it and how was your experience like with that transition? Are you still tracking your fitness and how?
I've bought my first mechanical watch, a Montblanc Timewalker Chronograph UTC, when I hit a life milestone back in 2014 or so. Loved it to bits. And then I got bit by the Apple Watch bug. I bought Gen 2, and then upgraded to Gen 4 and have been using that ever since, while my mechanical watch just sat in its box untouched.

Now I feel like I'm just tired with the Apple Watch. Realized I don't use much of the smart features except for fitness tracking when I'm working out. And I'm kinda tired staying hyperconnected with all the notifications etc. I have my phone for that and I seriously need to reduce the "digital noise" around me. Maybe it's also because I'm in IT and I'm a huuge tech nerd who's constantly dealing with tech, and now I really feel a need to draw a line somewhere. I suddenly feel "too much tech" is a thing now. Or maybe it's just me aging LOL.

So, for the past 2 weeks, I did an experiment. I took out my old mechanical from its box, wound it up and wore it around daily to see whether I can get used to it again. Now I'm back in love. Things are waaaaay more peaceful, I don't feel a need to be super reactive to digital noise, and the feeling that there's something alive on my wrist ticking away is really something that a smartwatch cannot replace. I loved it so much so that I'm now looking to add one more mechanical soon.

As for the Apple Watch, I'm still using it when I'm working out and when I'm sleeping (for sleep tracking). Although I'm thinking of getting something that is less obtrusive for fitness tracking, so that I can wear together with my mechanical without looking weird  blink.gif

So back to my question above - wondering if anybody has had any similar experiences. Aaand if you have any suggestions for "minimalist"/less obtrusive fitness tracking alternatives too smile.gif

actually not many people give a fark lah, the weird feeling is only from yourself only
just treat it as one of bracelet icon_idea.gif

I thought of strapping the health tracker above ankle but didn;t go source for a long enough strap, so just wear it on right wrist lor

Mine’s a terrible photo, but the pattern reminds me of a GS I tried on recently.

Ah yes, it does have similar swirling effect. I wonder if the GS dial is stamped?
