Technology

I am very happy with my Skagen Jorn gen 6 hybrid. Hybrid means both e-ink screen and physical watch hands. It has a few health sensors, can display notifications, track workouts, send commands to Alexa if you want that, and much more. It's simply an awesome smartwatch in a classic inconspicuous design, and it has a hopping 5 weeks battery life, and it's supported by Gadgetbridge. Nothing can beat it in my opinion.

Coros Pace 2. Cheaper than the entry level Garmin and just as capable.

I like the way the Apple Watch (non-ultra) looks and functions but the battery life is garbage. It’s almost tolerable brand new but the battery degrades over time and you have to charge more often. No thanks.

I currently use a Garmin forerunner 955. Since I use it for running I charge once a week or so. If you don’t work out and just want metrics, it lasts 2 weeks. I highly recommend Garmin watches

Currently wearing a mechanical watch. No data collection, no batteries, and it has radioactive tubes that glow for decades so I can see what time it is at night with zero effort.

If I wanna track fitness I'll open vim and record it there.

Really wish there was an Android watch that was as reliable and responsive as Apple Watches

I use Suunto 9 Baro.

none of them, i’d rather not have any extra data on me out there that’s digitally storing it anywhere, even locally.

i keep my odometer and a pulse monitor with me, but they’re both local dumb.

None. I'm one of these oldtimers who has that backward opinion that a thing has to do one thing, but that very good, so I wear a brick of steel that's actually ticking away that I have to check once a month, if it's on time. Plus every 4 years it's gotta have an oiling. On the other side: no batteries to charge. And my fitness tracker is my fat belly ;) kinda fit, kinda fat.
