New blog post!In which I write how I got tired of using a smartwatch, and switched to a classic CASIO that Just Tells The Time. Another example how I am getting tired of surplus technology.https://stfn.pl/blog/43-leaving-the-smartwatch/#blog #smartwatch #casio #f91w

@stfn Every time I read about someone else's smart-watch experience I realise how unknowingly lucky I was to choose a Bip.But it also means that, like you, I'm quite unlikely to replace it with another smartwatch.If you ever wanted to mess around with getting local only collection working on that Garmin though, looks like it works with Gadgetbridge - https://gadgetbridge.org/basics/topics/garmin/

@ben oooooh, thank you, I was not aware such a thing existed. If I ever get back to my Garmin, I will check it out for sure!

@stfn I got such a watch, that also could store a phone numbers (phone book). I believe the maximum amount of numbers I could store was like 10.

@stfn of course.. You couldn't do calls with this watch. Just storing numbers and a name.

@melroy perfect for a serious businessman to store the phone number of his boss, VP, few coworkers and a secret lover, to be able to call them from his car phone

@stfn Yea, I know right? It's crazy. I'm now curious if my old casino could actually have this dial tone feature or not. I will look soon at my stock of old devices pile. Hopefully I can find it.

@stfn Great post! I think I used only one smart watch, and ran back to Casios. My preferred ones are gshock square, this one has a forever battery and corrects itself every night

@stfn Personally I would've went with an analog watch if I wanted one, I think they look nicer.

@stfn I tried a few open hardware and open software smart watches for a few years, but started to resent getting notifications to my wrist and pocket. A year ago, I got a modified F-91W from https://n-o-d-e.shop/ and love just having the time and date

@travissouthard Just having the time and date 🤝 I've heard about that site and their watches look interesting, but I think I prefer the original thing.
