    Any Google smartwatch. I bought 2 at one point. A sport and a dress watch. Both only lasted about a year before the software rendered them useless. I’m now back on analogue watches.

      I absolutely loved my LG Android watch from a couple years ago. Used it constantly

      But then a major update for Android Wear was released, and it completely changed the UX and UI. It was absolutely annoying to use suddenly

      Stopped using it a week after the release. Never had an android wear watch since

      It’s almost aggressive how quickly smart devices get shuttered, being an oldschool techhead I’ve always dreamed of being a walking compute center, but just like smart house gear, you can’t expect a thing you buy today to work next week and we are just conditioned to accept it.

      I have a pixel watch I bought around its launch (IIRC) and it’s still going fine today. The only issue I’ve had is, since starting farming, the little dial can gum up a bit, but it can be cleaned.
