I have been thinking about the feature set I would want in a watch and why would I want to smart connect with phone etc. and I just don't see a need. I ended up with solar powered Swiss made carefully designed and engineered marvel of a "dumb" watch that never* needs charging and apart from the time-related bells and whistles has just the no non-sense functions of baro/alti meter and compass.

Best piece of tech I have ever had, though admitedly it costs around double of smartwatch.

-- * the accumulator battery will of course deteriorate with time, and the watertight gaskets would have to be replaced at some point.
