Wow. I havent seen do not vacuum before. I guess the crystal is pressed in?
 
Just as a small counter to Priller's post.

My current Apple Watch version 6 is 5 years old and chargers to 80% in 1 hour so that really nullifies the "can't get sleep data". 1.5 Hr 0 to 100%.

I hate being tethered to a phone but find the convenience of having extensive useful data on my wrist nullifies that.
As a rider - crash detection is a real bonus.
As an oldster fall detection as well.
I have an unresolved tachycardia condition and it is reassuring to be warned.
Having, wind, temp and rain at a quick glance without hauling out a phone a big plus.
Answering message and phone calls from wrist real Dick Tracy stuff and again....no chasing the phone.

From a jewelry standpoint, being able to switch faces from simple elegant

It's like having a whole collection of watches. The bright, crisp OLED screen turns out a jewel like look.
I stopped wearing my Movado except for dress up occasions and gave to my son. I think it has disappeared in the estate :(.

I admire mechanical watches but let's face it little of those wonderful mechanisms can be admired.

Doc you have to take out those last 2 lines of your post. They are indeed wonderfully addictive. For an old dawg I would think you’d love the mechanical perfection of a ticking watch mechanism.
The rest of your post brings up some great points. I use my Apple Watch for exercise. Kids gave it to me otherwise I wouldn’t have bought one.
 
Ok I’ll admit it , I have a smart watch , my cycling coach wants us to wear them , we monitor heart rates for fitness and some other data that helps us be efficient. The entire group we have are all over fifty so nobody is pro anytime ever . We did ride on cobble stones once completely by accident .
But that tool comes off my wrist when I park the bike . The word “watch” is literally the translation of the phrase “ to watch” , meaning look at it. They didn’t call it small clock . I tolerate my friends telling me “ oh look, my garage door has opened “ “ I got an alert” . And “ my grandson has eaten his frist broccoli “ . Well F me , my life is enriched knowing that .

As for smart watches…I use my Apple Watch 1st Gen when I want to see how far a new walking route takes me. That’s about it.
