I'm looking at a watch and think yeah I'd love to buy it. But then I tell myself why? You use your phone for the time, and as far as a decorative piece goes you rarely leave the house and when you do it's only for a few people that wouldn't care about stuff like that. And also you already have a watch.

So I successfully talked myself out of it.

I've gone back to wearing a watch when out, it's just more convenient to look at my watch than dragging my phone out of my bag.

If you end up talking yourself back into getting a watch, I would highly recommend a semi smart watch like a basic Garmin. Notifications and quick replies without getting your phone out of your pocket are a game changer. Plus all the stats, which are cool ...

Time is meaningless; watches doubly so.

I do use the shit out of my Apple Watch. I’ve got 2 analogue watches that I love but honestly hardly wear.

Are you telling me I should buy it? 😜

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

Is it an Apple Watch? Cause if so yes. It’s invaluable to me these days.

I've got an apple watch, since i don't use apps i never wore it. It's prolly out of date now.

I pretty much only use mine for fitness. It’s amazing at that. Notifications are nice to have, but I don’t use any apps beyond that.
