Talk me in/out of buying a hybrid smartwatch

@ttyS1 non-screen basically. I’ve ended up taking a punt on this one: https://www.techradar.com/reviews/skagen-holst

@ttyS1 battery life on the hybrid is 6-12 months. Feature wise it’s bare bones compared to yours: step tracking; some notifications via vibrate; time auto adjust from phone time. The UI is literally the watch hands: press a button on rim to request say, step target progress, and the hour hand will zoom around to indicate, then return

@ttyS1 in my case, I have an ancient Fitbit I was using only for step tracking and silent alarms. This could potentially replace it for both (and replace my regular watch for telling the time :)). This could also vibrate (and point the hand at one of four coloured circles imho) for other notifications if I wanted (new email etc) but I’m not expecting to use that

@ttyS1 it’s light weirght enough for wearing all the time but the metal strap might not be comfortable enough for that

@riddsteve I'll report back how well it works. It's already out of production, so it will live or die by how long they keep the App updated, I think…
