@LJPUK That’s the one I still have, and it pretty much sits on a drawer, dead. I no longer use it because there’s not a lot I can use it for these days. It feels boring compared to the newer models, and it’s not good for anything other than step counting, and as a timer. The phone does that really great anyway, so I’m back to real watches every day.
@maique I’m back to real watches maybe 50% of the time now. Remembering how much I loved my Casio and Seiko.
@LJPUK I’ve always been a bit of a watch aficionado, much less now because I lack the funds needed to keep going! Apple Watch made me pause that for a while, but now I’m back to analog 100% of the time.
@LJPUK I'm still using my S2 as well, but it's not having the issues you describe. For me, it's dog slow, Siri is mostly useless, and it wouldn't always record heartrate on runs.
But with almost no apps installed it does... okay. It's handy for unlocking my Mac and 1Password. I try not to carry my phone around with me around our flat, so it's a handy way to do certain things like set timers without being otherwise distracted. When I do have my phone with me, I prefer to never hear it chime with notifications — a subtle tap on the wrist is less of a disturbance to me and the people around me.
That said, I'm still on the fence about getting a new Apple Watch. Like @maique, I really like analogue watches, and would prefer to pour that money into maintenance on my Hamilton, for example. But once I can start running/exercising again, I think I'd still want a good fitness tracker. Tough decision! 🤔
