[Question] Analog watch or smart watch? which do you use? (alien.top)

What is your age? and which watch type do you prefer and use? why?

Do you ever feel like a smart watch is distracting? (when working for example. Notifications, messages, social media and so on...)

30yo in a white collar industry, I never wear a smart watch. I do wear my fibit charge on my dominant hand since it looks more like a bracelet than a watch just to track steps. Otherwise, 100% traditional watches on my off hand.

I used to have a Sumsung Gear years ago, but (1) it got water damage within the first year from swimming (despite being rated for swimming) and (2) I like not getting notifications to my wrist now. My phone can wait or someone can call if they need me immediately. I'd consider a garmin for swimming laps or running, though.
