Well you could always use it to decorate the bottom of your trash barrel.

I'm getting it all sorted out and set up for my use. I'm liking it just fine, but I will still rotate it out with my other eight wristwatches from time to time, just as I always do.

My wonderful wife gifted me with one of those "smart watches" for XMAS.
I have spent more than a few hours working on it, put the app on my "smart phone", connected the watch to the phone, turning on certain features at the watch, learning that some features can only be set using the phone. This thing is confusing as all get out to me, I have eight "dumb watches" that I rotate wearing as it is. When and if I ever get this watch figured out, it may well be on my wrist the majority of the time, just to prove to family and friends that I mastered the evil thing. Hope everyone else also had a Merry Christmas!

Put it on without mastering it. That’s what I did…😀

If you carry a cellular phone, why do you wear a watch?

Faster to look at my wrist that get the phone out of my back pocket and return it.

I am a retired broadcaster who hosted, among other things, a M-F sign-on drive-time morning program (weather, news, classical music). I was very aware of the time, and how much I had before joining NPR for its hourly newscasts. Often I had to back-time a recording so it would finish before the network came on. I still harbor care for what time it is, but not obsessively, and hardly ever look at my wristwatch. But, gee, there's that tiny time/date window at the bottom of my computer screen...

Send it back and use a plain old ordinary watch.

I haven't been without a wristwatch since I was in high school (I'm 76 years old). Currently I wear a Series 7 Apple Watch, which is paired with my Apple iPhone 11 Pro. Note that I use many of the watch's features, including answering my phone, measuring my blood oxygen level, my pulse rate, previewing text messages, stopwatch functions, etc. Also, it tracks my activities, including daily steps taken, hours that I've been standing, stair-steps climbed, etc.

As for the watch face that I use, I've opted for the analog chronograph style, mainly because after all these years, it's still faster to 'tell time' by looking at an analog display since you only have to recognize what the time-of-day is, rather then having to stop and actually read it, which is what happens when you use a digital time display. Of course, all the kids use the digital display.

And one other thing, my watch automatically logs me into my Apple MacBook M1 Pro. If I don't have my watch on, I have to manually type in my log-on password.

Also interested. Was told no MRI with pacemaker. Electro-magnets and leads implanted in the body does not go too well together! Although, I've heard that more current implanted leads are MRI safe. Mine was implanted in 2010.


Same here. My original pacemaker and leads were implanted in 2008. The current pacemaker 2017 but like you, leads not replaced. The pacemaker has adequate shielding and can handle MRIs, but the leads can’t. My cardiologist has suggested that everything would “probably” be fine with a targeted (?) MRI, but would only recommend one in an emergency situation. That takes care of that…🥴
