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

Smartwatch, but without native software.
I do appreciate the extra functionality compared to regular, and the price is lower, so win-win.
I am, however, privacy-conscious and do not allow the watch manufacturer to get any of the data from the watch.

You can't even get the manufacturer to get updates past 6 months of being released.
Are people out there really writing their own firmware for smart watches?
4 0 ReplyNot firmware, but apps to which the watches connect.
I'm talking watches with Bluetooth-only connectivity, like Mi Band, not full-fledged machines like Apple Watch.
But yes, there is also open-source firmware for high-tech smart watches, too
