I've never had a smartwatch and the concept of it turns me off. To me, and I could be wrong, people become obsessed with them and all the tracking they provide begins to rule ones life. Sleep tracking, heart beat, activity and all that. It all seems rather stupid to me. So, I understand your comments, training without the stats on the watch.
I have some very nice watches and my favourite, because of the meaning of it, (which I rarely wear) is not this one...but this one is worn every day so is like a part of me. I don't wear jewellery, don't see the point, but this watch goes on every day.
Thaks for your comment on the shots and maybe one day I'll be reading a post about which Casio G-Shock you purchased.
