8 Reasons I Stopped Wearing a Smart Watch

[@StaticCamperVan]

100% agree on not wanting one more thing to charge. Charging items is double frustrating for me since I live entirely on solar power.

Another good reason: Is it a good idea to be obsessed with your health metrics. This can be anxiety inducing and when you are alerted to an issue you spend all day worrying about it and there is no guarantee that the information will be accurate. Just use an ordinary watch to tell the time and use your phone for everything else.

[@sshea1222]

I wholeheartedly agree with Reason 7, being the short life. I owned/wore an Apple Watch Series 5 for years, until the battery started to crap out and barely got a day of use before having to recharge it. I initially preordered the Series 9 until I had a reality check and decided that spending $400 every 3 years on an item that does the same functions as my phone (which I carry with me everywhere) is a poor decision financially. For that reason, I purchased a Timex Expedition Scout for $50 at Target and haven’t looked back. I appreciate not being connected all of the time. The watch does everything I need it to do, and I can display some of my personality. One of the best financial/tech decisions I’ve made in recent years.

[@Watchcastage]

The expedition scout rules! Great choice.

[@SamHain-o4l]

can the connection to the smartwatch become a backdoor to your phone and also your laptop?

[@Gerry926]

I guess it depends on your wants vs your needs. I don't like taking out my $1k smartphone on a jobsite, where there's a good chance of it dropping or getting damaged in some way. It's in a rugged case but looking at the watch is just easier. Also, "the find my phone" feature saved me multiple times. My watch is really just a tool, like my drill. As far as emotional connection, I grew up watching James Bond and Dick Tracy talk and watch TV through a spy watch. I can do that now, which I think is cool. I own a regular mechanical watch, that I wear after work or when going out.

The "phantom buzz" is real for some people. I've experienced it to. That's part of why I've considered not using one anymore. People really weren't designed to always be connected to the "grid".

Regarding the phantom buzzing I had the same issue but with my phone... I'd get a phantom buzz on my upper-left thigh where the phone would normally lay in the jeans pocket. I found that beyond bizarre and I turned off vibrations overall. I really do think there's something to our body being condition by the tech around us and our body does adapt and expect that stimulus... or entirely fabricates it, it seems, hence the phantom buzzing.

[@sc5216]

The buzzing is from the EMFs damaging your body. Look it up. When I have been around too much tech in a day, I will get the buzzing as I have MCAD/HIT. Smart watches should be called dumb watches, because only the dummies are willing to wear EMFs on their body all day like an idiot.

I love my Apple Watch Ultra. When I’m shopping or out. Running errands as much easier to answer the watch than it is to try to pull out a big bone out of your pocket. We live in the modern technology today. Yes there’s always risk with everything. But I’m sure apples doing their best to keep the things secure. I love my ultra watch and would not want to get rid of it. It’s help me in so many ways. But everybody has their own opinion when it comes to that. You can walk out on the street and be hit by a car tomorrow. Any number of things can happen. You just have to use safety precautions whenever you deal with anything.

I have owned a number of smart watches and most of them have been a pain in the backside.

And I'd prefer one that doesn't look like it came from planet Zog and isn't two inches across.

[@properfpv7160]

Yep. I wore my Apple Watch Ultra for one year. I got an automatic watch and sold my Ultra today. I paid $800 ( for the ultra) and the day the new one was announced, it dropped in value by half. I got $460 for it after fees and taxes. The main reason I got rid of it was because I thought it was a backup for my phone so if my phone ever died I could use it. My phone battery died. I tried to use the Apple Watch Ultra ( with $15/month data plan) and none of messages went through. It waited a while, they all turned red. When I contacted ATT they told me the phone has to be on and connected to the network for the messaging apps to work. 🤯 so it’s useless! Apple can try and sell that to someone else. If they fix that problem I might buy another one but I think I’m over it. I like my automatic watch a lot. It’s a micro brand but has a Swiss ETA 2824 movement which by itself is worth as much as I paid for the 300m dive watch with a sapphire crystal and an oyster bracelet.

Mine is the opposite.. I am selling my regular watches but will keep only maybe 3 to 4 pcs.. & will start to use my apple watch mostly & daily because I want a useful watch with lots of health features that will take care of me like a personal trainer & doctor.. I can tell time even in my phone so a regular watch is useless for me.. I need a watch that has health technology because I am a fit person & a gym goer.. I always keep track of my health so I need the apple watch a regular watch is useless for me & for me a regular watch is just for formal use when I am going to a formal event only.. but 6 days a week I am at the gym & I even keep track of my sleep.. So a regular watch for me is a dumb watch & useless.. People wearing traditional watches do not care about their health & maybe do not exercise & not a sporty person.. because I believe that if you are a sporty, gym goer & fit person then a smart watch is a must.. But for me I have quartz watches, solar watch, mechanical watches & an apple watch because for me all are good in their own different purposes.. but the most useful for me is the apple watch next is my casio digital watch & last option is my mechanical watch just for formal use..

[@RG-bx3cn]

Are you not concerned about the health risks these smart watches have, such as the bluetooth and radio frequency exposure against your skin? Furthermore, your iPhone does all the same things your Apple Watch does. If you use it mindfully then it could work out better than using your smart watch for gym use.

[@os2171]

I have been an Apple Watch user since 2017 and 95% agree. The thing is that I appreciate the aid in improving my health now that I have a chronic condition. The watch has for sure helped me, and that's invaluable. But, but... yes, the lack of uniqueness and character, the square shit, the battery oh the battery! the short span life (I've owned the series 2 and 5) ... because of the health compromise I am going to continue using smartwatches but no more Apple watch... looking forward to a Garmin Fenix 7 pro. it seems to be solid, the lack of petting with the battery at least guarantee that the battery won't die before 5 or more years, unlike the Apple Watch, after only 2 years it's at 80% of health and start to spontaneously die during workouts even at 100% of battery charge... there are many more advantages of Garmin over Apple for my use (topo maps, physiological parameters, battery life, training stats) and taste: not square, but round as a circular timepiece, measuring a cyclical parameter: time.

Apple security and privacy is a fallacy

I actually don't like to wear anything on my wrist. everyone basically forced me to wear an apple watch, but I refused.

Thats why i just buy the cheap ones where it only tells time and your fitness tracking. And help me change songs for when I commute

[@sharingmatters]

I share the same concerns.

I’m going to share this to my daughters

The short life is the clincher. Can’t believe we got suckered out of our money into a brand new bucket of obsolescence. Like we needed another one of those

Smart watches = more environmental technology waste. Tradtional analogue watch all the way. The phone does everything. Charging the smart watch all the time is a nightmare.

[@mistahkae]

As someone who doesn't own a smart watch atm and thinking of buying one... i stopped the video after point 2 and now typing this comment. I already disagree with the first two points. I don't think the watch keeping check with your health is a thing that im going to be scared about. And the second point, it manipulating you to check your watch?? Its just a signal to see if someone texts you just like a regular phone would.

[@mahmoudhamid8915]

Absolutely your reasons are 👍

I love my SM watch. I'll never stop

There should be a BLATANTLY easy to access agreement for the users to chose when they want corporations to fully and permanently delete all their data. It is possible, but you usually have to directly email or write the company to do that.

4:56 then you can just pick up you phone to know what time it is.
