Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I'm starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

Casio G-Shock owner here. I prefer a watch to always know the time without checking my phone but I would never use IOT devices, including a smart watch for privacy & security reasons.

I wear mine for outdoor stuff and a simpler Casio for a daily driver. Got my wife a matching pink one!

Satisfies my old-school wants and needs, about bulletproof, cheap as hell on eBay, all that.

Happy to see another G-Shock owner! I myself settled down on a 5610U. Its all I need + the very good aftermarket/modding community.

Ps: Just realised that you're the guy from this comment, the world is small haha.

Yup, same here. Never really understood the G-Shock thing until I got one. The 5610U is truly one of the best watches hands down, and they're cheap. I find myself using timers and alarms much more because I may not have my phone at all times (around the house etc). Solar to boot? It really doesnt get much better, they're fantastic.
