Word of warning; don’t weld with a smart watch on

I leaned after almost catching my d*** on fire that unless it is leather, minimal is always best when welding....

Normally... a G-shock, but mine has a broken button and it keeps changing time on me. It's probably 6 or 8 years old. Been wearing my late father's watch here lately. (he passed in July) It's a very old Waltham from before he packed up everything they owned into their bran-new Valiant station wagon, including his wife, and his firstborn (my older sister) then immigrated to America in 1962 from Newfoundland. Being made for the Canadian market, it has the days in both English & French. That, plus the dates make it a nightmare to keep right when the months change. I just use it for the time, but it does still keep good time.

Only photo I have of it is from the other day...

G-shock 8 years old max.
Waltham 60 years old minimum.
Conclusion?
They don't make 'em like they used to.

I haven't read thru all 23-23 pages of this thread but...

Question- I'm considering a smart watch... What are you guys using it for except for telling time? The health features? How does the battery last? What has been your overall experience so far- pos-neg? Would you buy another one?

I'm looking at particularly Samsung smart watches.

Thanks.

I have an apple watch that has too many features but I use mine for:
Telling Time
GPS turn alerts / maps
Messages
Email reading
Some health areas
Weather
Finding my iPhone
Music Ap
Talk/answer phone (through watch but connected to iphone)


There are a ton more options. My battery will last over 24h with my usage and will charge back up in very little time (hour?)

I use mine mainly for telling time, the date, and the fitness app. I use my heart rate monitor on it a lot during workouts. I do preview texts just to see if it’s urgent or can wait, and checking the temperature. There’s a ton more you can do with them, those are just the main features I use. The one dislike is it doesn’t seem very durable, if I had to do it over again I’d definitely buy some sort of case for it. I won’t be rushing out to get the latest and greatest watch, probably use this one until it dies then pick up a more basic model.

I was a G shock wearer for a number of years. Durable and tough. I have since switched to the Garmin Instinct. I enjoy the "smart watch" features of the the Garmin and the battery life last about 2 weeks in smart watch mode if you use the GPS it'll only last a day or two.

Garmin Fenix 6 Solar

Battery life is 12 to 17 days depending on solar charging. Charges on the cable in a couple hours.
Date / Time
Fitness stats
GPS

I don't use it for alerts, email, text or voice connectivity to my phone.

I've spent a lot of time searching for a watch face app that is visible indoors during the day. Some are downright impossible unless your vision is perfect.

Apple Watch since they came out…but the next will be an heirloom type. Maybe Omega?

I haven't worn a watch since I got out of the military in 2000 something . I can read the sun within a hour or so . If all else falls I just looking my phone

 

[Yup!]

I gave up on smart/digital watches and got this back on Nov. I’ve worn it every day since.

 

[jspy5]

Good choice on the Tudor.

Just sold my Zodiac Super Sea Wolf and bought this Doxa Sub 600T. I’m loving it so far.

Wow, long time no see...welcome back, nice watch

Are people who own Apple watches even allowed to post in this thread?

I mean it's like showing up in a thread about custom 1911s and telling us you own a HighPoint.
Come on guys!

It's a good way for big brother to keep an even closer eye on you.

Wearing a watch is not just about telling time.
That's why some folks don't mind spending 10K on an automatic Rolex, even though it's less accurate than a $10 Casio digital quartz watch.

A lot of folks don't look at the time when they look at their watch, they just look at the watch ... Yeah they're weirdo watch collectors at this point (and there's nothing wrong with that).

And why old dudes buy Corvettes. Belly grown pecker shrunk.
I was just 5 beers in and expressing that I really no longer need a watch. To each to their own .
Ps nor do I want one
