I don't expect much sympathy from you lot.

But, I couldn't help myself. Fantastic classy looking, easy to get on with and then suddenly right in front of me and in a moment of weakness I succumbed immediately, without a thought for the consequences.

I'm not even sure I need a smar****ch TBH, but it is black friday after all, [url= https://www.amazon.co.uk/Huawei-Watch-Bluetooth-Smar****ch-Android-Black/dp/B071HXXSXF?th=1 ]and it was a decent deal[/url]. But now my faithful Seiko is looking up at me, sad, forlorn with a trembling tear in the date window.

Oh what have I done... 😐

It's a tear of laughter. Watch so smart it has to be charged every day, thinks Seiko.

I've got the original Huawei Watch (coincidentally from last year's BF sales). Couple of annoying niggles but on the whole it's been great.

I did read some reviews - second only to the LG sport apparently, and then the LG sport gets slated for its size and battery issues.

I think the "classic" I linked to - and purchased - looks quite smart.

Just need to find a use for it other than telling the time 🙁 The one thing I have thought of is the Google maps directions - as I travel I quite often end up wandering around holding my phone in front of my face looking for hotels or conference locations.

I've just checked your logs on the Red Army servers and they're very happy with the data it has collected, worked flawlessly 😉

Sorry, but at Kryton57’s expense this is one of the funniest comments I’ve seen on here in a very looooong time.

Awesome.

Don't get me wrong I'm laughing alongside so, but one of the reasons for this was encouragement from Mrs K, as other than essential items for bike repair / attrition, I haven't bought anything for myself all year (well apart from the Charge SSCX). I've worked very hard and theres cash in the family coffers as a result, she's encouraged me to enjoy a bit of it.

A fine comment from a man with obvious shoes...

To be fair, it does look slightly less shit than a G-Shock.

Can't you use route planning and plug in an earbud?

My smart watch thoughts exactly. I still have another watch which is just a watch, but having spent quite a while now quitening my head, this could be an issue. Although, it does have “watch only” mode 🙂

What's the point of spending £250 on a classy ahem smart watch if you have absolutely no use for it?

Seems daft, send it back.

Ugly, expensive and pointless.

I feel like I'm being mean wrting that but you didn't have to post on here about your purchase - so I feel it's fair game. 8)

Kryton57 you post on a forum about a watch you've bought, saying 'what have I done', you then post quotes about opinions that have been given.

If you don't want opinions, don't post on a forum.

I'm not worried about the opinions Gary, nor am I asking advice on this thread. They are just opinions. Its my life and my money I'll enjoy it how I like, as long as its not causing harm to anyone.

I've had a good education - and more to come - about the Stoics, and have been practising a fair bit. They did believe very much in improving their lives, but I'm now following one of their basics, despite potential improvement having a strong think about what its means to be losing my Seiko. 🙂

You do realise this thread isn't a genuine worry but a Friday afternoon quip, don't you?

Basically, with a smiley at the end yes. I know I know how attention seeking, almost as bad as "New bike day"...

I treated myself to Gear S3 Frontier a couple of weeks ago. Was a bit of a rash purchase too....but I love it. I especially like the ability to change watch faces and Im finding the apps pretty useful too. And its a lovely looking watch in its own right.

Enjoy yours!
