 @3aa006c3 I actually had an AppleWatch for a short period of time and it was the worst experience personally. Constant reminders and notifications. Logging of locations, biometrics etc. It felt as though I was plugged into some machine that kept extracting my essence 🤪. #GShock gives me everything I need from a watch and not all of the unnecessary “connected” services/garbage that only serve to benefit big tech companies through siphoning my data.

 @b9081348 this! So much! There are lots of people that are giving up on their AppleWatch or whatever smart watch and coming back, or for the firs time, to a #GShock for the exact same reasons you listed. Which is, basically I'd say, mental exhaustion.
They cost a freaking fortune and need you to care of them like some kind of modern day "Tamagotchi" that you need to keep alive so it can keep sucking up your soul on the go to send it to its actual owner: the manufacturer. A #GShock is blessing!
