I totally relate to the need to have a device that tells perfect time at a glance and doesn't notify you of all the things. I feel like this is such an underrated feature set these days. For anyone else who feels that way but doesn't need all the data, I highly recommend a solar watch from Seiko or Citizen. They keep impeccable time and never need to be wound or get dead batteries.
I feel so seen (as always, you seem to read my mind with your posts). I have an Apple Watch and just can’t make it work with my clothes/style. It always looks wrong and I take it off right before leaving my house. I have a tiny leather wrap analog watch I adore from a small company called March Hare and I love it, but also the leather feels too... much?... sometimes. I don’t know I can’t decide. This comment is barely worth posting, it’s basically stream of consciousness at this point.
Couldn’t feel more seen here. I love analog watches. I feel tempted to buy a smart watch with functions, but have yet to pull the trigger because I cannot get over the rubber aesthetic. But these ladies do look cool 😎 so maybe it’s time.
Are Fitbits cooler bc they are actually a bit daggier than Apple Watches and therefore more I DONT CARE but also aesthetically pleasing in that they are just a black band as opposed to a big (hideous) screen. I've had/worn both. I wore the Fitbit v conspicuously with a floral Zimmerman dress out to lunch a couple of years ago. I love this post.
Yes yes. So seen by this. I like to track steps and workouts but I only wear mine to work because I feel like it doesn’t “go” with my weekend outfits and also I’m a watch-hating Pisces. I like to think of watches as bracelets that might tell time.
My Fitbit stopped working and after wearing my analog watch for a week I realized how much I love my fitbit for exactly all the reason you mentioned. I’ve been struggling with how it looks and if I should try something else etc. Thanks so much.

I stopped wearing my apple watch but now I think I'll put it on and pretend it's a sparkly chic bangle because that's how you've made it now feel

Yes I 1000% needed this! Just got that same Fitbit and have been feeling the same way
