I think it’s also a sign that people want devices that don’t come from Big Data, aren’t online and aren’t designed to put them under surveillance and invade their privacy.
Seriously how do you see the resurgence of the first, least feature rich smart watch and go write an article about people wanting “something unique”. Do they think what I’m really missing is a watch face with a quirky octopus?
People don’t root for feature-poor stuff because it’s unique but because the features it’s missing - that they want - preclude the hardware and the hardware maker from slipping in features that they don’t want.
the only tatches that stuck with me were the original pebble, pebble time steel, and a pinetime. I also have a galaxy watch gathering dust in a drawer somewhere, which is just not practical

Yes, this.
I don’t want to be a product of by watch/phone.
Yep. I can’t wait to get mine and be in complete control of my data. No cloud bullshit.
