Smart vs Dumb Watch

Sun, 28 Aug 2022 16:56:11 -0700

I am not interested in a watch that I can check text messages on, or send email or monitor my heart-rate.

I would really like is an analog watch that I do not have to set the date every month, or update the time for daylight-savings.

@Randal does that one adjust/sync time? I could not find anywhere in the description that it does that

Ah, gotcha, probably not. Sorry that I didn't read your description more carefully.

How about analog/digital? There are some Casio models with an analog face, but digital calendar, and atomic sync (Casio calls this Multiband 6).

@NullSpaceOddity Those actually look nice and have the features I want; however, I read an article somewhere that atomic syncing will cease at some point in the near future, so I would not want to spend too much on it. I bet I can find a used one for a decent price.
