I’ve become better at talking to people. Overcoming my past trauma and social anxiety has made me so much happier and at peace. Now I’m on the path to fostering meaningful connections with people who help me grow as a person, and hopefully the other way around as well.

Gshocks are the ultimate watch, and honestly one of the most reliable things someone can have for everyday use

That honestly sounds like a great balance! Plus, you have some privacy with your health data with that offline Amazfit, so some goons won’t sell that private info to some corner of the internet.

I really do relate to your reasons. I had been using a smartwatch from spring 2020 until last week, and while it was great for some fitness tracking, it ended up giving me health anxiety due to the constant feeling of ‘needing’ to meet all my fitness goals daily, and the notifications buzzing my wrist regularly breaking my concentration during work, or for slower times of the day such as sitting on the couch with my headphones and just focusing on the music.

Citizen FTW! Their Eco Drive Watches are the real deal. Accurate, reliable, won’t break the bank. Citizen really do live up to their name as a company, they’ve created a practical and economical slew of products that appeal to the everyday working man. Plan on getting one myself soon!

I see the appeal, having home automation on your wrist would be very convenient indeed.

Happy for you! If wearing a regular watch makes you feel better, then the value of that far outweighs any other option.

Hahaha, fair enough. If I was Swiss then it would be an easy choice for me as well.

I may move to a pixel 8 pro instead, was hoping it was fully flat

Just had a similar experience with my birthday. Reminded me that I can just buy stuff for myself, so the excitement we had as kids isn’t there lol.
