I had a Samsung smart watch, and it was honestly hard to use without an account. Half the features are locked behind signing in. I stopped using it when weather updates stopped working without logging in.
Now I have a dumb mechanical watch, and it's glorious.

Love my dumb watch. Had to get a new smartwatch every 3 years or so due to planned obselesence. Spent the same amount on a pretty citizen and have had it for over 5 years. Hasnt even noticably lost time

Same, but I've sidegraded to Pebble, which stores the data on my phone.
