I wear an automatic Seiko. I like that I don't have to worry about a battery staying charged/wearing out over time. I just have to take a second every couple weeks to set it forward to account for it losing a few minutes. Another factor is when I looked at the smart watches that were available last time I got a new phone and they were all very large and I have small wrists which I don't want to emphasize. My current watch fits well.
I would like to get a bracelet or something that tracks biometric data but from what I saw when I was investigating those is that they all have watch functionally as well and I don't want to wear two watches.
You can get a Whoop band or Oura ring, or something similar - from what I've gathered they are just like regular bracelet or ring, with good sensors inside, and no screen to distract. Plus, this probably makes them way more lightweight than watch-like smartbands.
The whoop band looks like what I'm looking for but that membership is too steep for something that I just want to gather data. Thanks for the recommendations.
