    After Pebble got bought up and went under, I kept mine a good while. It eventually died or I lost the charger, I forget. I’ve had ‘modern’ smart watches since then, and they all just stressed me out and were too fiddly. I need buttons.

    I’m not really interested in tracking calories burned or heart rate changes myself, so I preordered a cheap one in black like I used to have. Annoying that I’ll probably have to pay an extra import duty on it, but I miss wearing a watch and this one is worth supporting - for the thing itself, but also because it’s a meaningful story to me.
