Re:The Quest for a Simple Smartwatch on Thursday June 29, 2023 @02:18AM (#36517005)
I think the problem is that everyone has their own “all I want - it’s so simple” set of features, but there are nearly limitless possibilities of feature combinations.

I wanted a long battery life (e-ink would work) minimal watch with health tracking only. In the end I just chose the Apple Watch SE, switched off all phone & message notifications and made recharging part of my daily routine. It’s easier to adapt than find the perfect device and I’ve found many useful features on the SE that I wouldn’t have chosen on my custom smart watch.

I like this comment and am intrigued by your dance experience. Meditation, however has exposed to me that I am certainly not (just) the body. To feel like I “am” something at all is both an assumption and the final hurdle.

Learning to truly appreciate experiences is what makes people happiest. In the end, a possession is just another experience.
