TLDR: no more smart watch data harvesting back to basics this year. nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx is right smart watches are just another tracker and data collector harvesting your info to sell.

So for Christmas my present was the new version of a Casio protrek watch. I had tried a Garmin the previous year. While the functionality is great it just isn't my thing.

I've been working on improving my privacy practices and it was just another tracking beacon with an account tied to it. I didn't put all the demographic information into the account correctly or at all. Still it collected data on me for a year.

Needless to say back to an analog/digital dumb watch for me. Main thing I wanted it for was the barometer and compass function. I can just estimate the rest of the information I got from it.
