@darth The only problem is that now I know I have 1,249 unanswered calls thanks to them. Darn it.

Sander van Kasteel

@darth@silversword.online this watch nerd is really happy to see that Timex still does ads like this 🥹

mir :v_enby_2: :v_ace_2: :emacs: :v_demigirl_2:

@darth@silversword.online my brain split this up for some reason:

know the time without seeing. You have 1249 unanswered emails.

Tofu :blobcatace:​

@darth Ngl, I don't like analog clocks and watches, because they take too much mental effort to read.

sugarsh0t

@darth @tofu ugggh I’ve been wanting one of these forever

Darth ŠČ! ✞

@sugarsh0t @tofu these are pretty cheap brand new. something like 60€ I think.

sugarsh0t

@darth @tofu sadly, not cheap enough for my broke disabled ass 😅 but someday!

@sugarsh0t @darth @tofu

There are a few low budget models that go for less. I recently got a similar one, but all in black/dark gray plastic at around 16 USD. Maybe that's more accessible?

Pendell

@sugarsh0t @darth @tofu they have models that go down to $20 or $30 if you're okay with a plastic strap/casing instead of metal

evin / yujiri

@darth but why do ppl have 1249 unanswered emails? i feel like that's the real problem, not knowing the emails are there won't make them go away.

sahqon

@yujiri @darth Because they don't know how to filter junk straight into the bin.

@bgrinter @drahardja I could argue that going smartwatch was going backwards. It is so mentally exhausting. But then you realize you have heart issues and having a basic ECG handy is not so bad.

@darth @bgrinter @drahardja

I agree. I hate my smart watch too but I use it because of heart problems.

My preferred timepiece is a Hamilton Khaki Field Officer.

@Ericthebeeover2 @bgrinter @drahardja you too? Sorry to hear. That Hamilton looks clean, I like self winding models.

Brian Grinter

@darth @drahardja same - for me it’s general health and fitness. As I get older the doctor reminds me to keep active and eat better so it’s more a health watch than anything smart watch

Darth ŠČ! ✞

@bgrinter @drahardja I might get a Withings Scanwatch Nova someday, but it’s a bit pricey. I am not a fan of charging all the time so Withings would help with that and it looks like a watch :-)

Zło To

@darth @bgrinter @drahardja 80% of bad heart is really just unhealthy life style

Darth ŠČ! ✞

@mattesilver @bgrinter @drahardja there is a lot of mental health issues in the world right now as well. this is tightly connected and can't just be fixed with: "start living healthy as a decision". In theory it can, in practice not very easy.

Brian Grinter

@mattesilver @darth @drahardja
Family history of high blood pressure and cholesterol, so change of diet and regular exercise
I know people much more unhealthy than me who boast none of those problems - yet

Trish Roberts

@darth @caity Can’t wear a watch while arm in a cast. I miss my watch!

Northern Solar Punk

@darth the message is good, but the ad is bad. Watch too small. Text too small.

Jonathan T

@darth @cstross Achieves its aim well for sure.

However, I might have 1,249 *unread* emails. I have thousands and thousands and thousands more unanswered ones.

sugarsh0t

@darth I recently treated myself to a $15 dumbass watch, and I am so glad to have even less reason to dig out my phone when I’ve put it away to concentrate on other things

Andreas Neustifter

@darth Funny, more or less for that exact reason I switched back to a regular watch a couple of months ago.

Štěpán

@darth I broke my Galaxy watch about a month ago and I miss them a lot less than I expected.
Although media controls were really convenient.

@darth 25 years old and still kicking 😎

Timex Expedition watch circa 1999

@darth I mean, I had to replace the strap because the stock leather one was sweating adhesive onto my skin, but the watch itself is as good as the day it was new.

Darth ŠČ! ✞

@mrak oh, I know. I’ve head genuine leather straps and they have their expiration date, so to speak.

shellsharks

@darth @h4sh I haxxxed my Apple Watch to do this by disabling email notifications 😄🤭👨🏻‍💻</s>

I like your instance domain btw.

Darth ŠČ! ✞

@shellsharks @h4sh thanks for the like! I haxxxed my Apple Watch in the same way :drake_like:

stfn :raspberrypi: :python:

@darth Exactly why I switched from a Garmin to a F91-W

Pendell

@darth exact reason I put my samsung smart watch in a drawer in favor of a Casio.
