Why I Ditched My Smartwatch for a Retro-Styled Casio Watch
This video takes you through my decision-making process and reasons for ditching my Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (and other smartwatches) for a modern, retro-styled Casio ABL-100WE watch.
The video starts with the straw that broke the camel's back, and concludes with two other possibilities I'll weigh up early in 2026.
Note: This is not a sponsored advert, I bought this watch on my own initiative and at full retail cost from a 3rd party jeweller.
