I don't need any Bluetooth functions. I've had the same G-Shock for the last 10 years. I never take it off, never replace the battery, works fine.

I also switched from and Apple Watch to a Casio. Mine is a simpler one that only does the step tracking, but that was all I really wanted. I still have phantom vibrations a year later. Crazy.

I still cannot fathom why anyone would pay several hundred dollars for a smart watch that needs charging every day. Absolute peak in terrible technology.

This watch seems great. I've been using smart bands for a while, as cheaper watches with better battery life. But they still have a lot of features that I'll never use. Maybe I'll opt in for one of these.

I very seriously considered this watch, but the lack of gadgetbridge support was what did it. I ended up witha Garmin that I wear on my ankle.

That looks awesome! If it had Gadgetbridge support, I'd be all over it. That said, the Bangle.js 2 I got specifically for it's full integration with Gadgetbridge has been deeply disappointing. Not on the app side, but the hardware itself just doesn't live up to the promise and sometimes doesn't work correctly.

Nice! I didn't realize until now that Casio were making smartwatches now. Good to know. What's the battery life on it?

Thanks also for bringing this community to my attention since I wasn't aware of it either.

You got the clear case! I wound up getting the corn-flower blue one at a local surf shop (because the clear case one was sold out online)!

I've had like four of five Apple Watches in about ten years. They all just up and die on me and I'm over it. The Casio covers all the stuff I've come to rely on with a smart watch (mostly text and email notifications) without the nonsense. Love it (even if I'm not a huge fan of it requiring me to have location services set to "always on")

Probably a Casio DW-5600-2 model along those lines.
