I hear this a lot.

Yet those same people suddenly do care when their personal information (or that of their wife/girlfriend/child) ends up all over the internet.

Another use case is using the watch to unlock other devices. That also seems security sensitive.

And some people may be uncomfortable about the health data that could be extracted from such a watch.

We should go back to analog. We're wasting our time.

It's pretty frustrating that when you're shopping for a laptop, nobody can tell you it'll suspend properly under Linux. Or when you're shopping for a bike light nobody can tell you whether over the summer it'll self-discharge to the point it bricks itself due to cell imbalance. Or when you're shopping for a microsd card, nobody can tell you.... you get the picture.

But to produce honest reviews, I couldn't accept free review units, kickbacks or affiliate money. And people shopping for laptops and bike lights don't need a $$$-per-month subscription to my newsletter/channel/patreon, they just need a few yes-or-no answers.

And there's a huge amount of churn in products on sites like Amazon; you wouldn't just pay for 40 bike lights, review them all, and solve the problem forever. Different models and brands appear all the time.

And even then, just because when I reviewed that microsd card and found it had great performance, nothing stops the manufacturer substituting cheaper components later on, without changing the part number; it's not like there was a specification promising the performance I observed in my review.
