I use a basic analog watch because I want to be able to tell the time with something that is always on my person.
If I understand correctly, smart watches require charging, data connection to a phone, are physically large, and they use displays which are sensitive to impacts.
When you do the metaphorical moderation equivalent of running somebody over with your car, just return to acting to normal, no one will care and everyone will quietly suspect the guy in the metaphorical hospital making accusations regardless of how much the metaphorical tire tracks match.
Smart watches and privacy don’t go hand in hand. Also dont want to own another product that i need to worry about charging. But if i am going to buy one ever, it would be garmin. I heard pretty good things about it here in europe.

I have a couple of traditional watches that I occasionally wear and don’t own a smart watch because I don’t need another thing to worry about keeping charged.
Just a few days ago, someone around here was telling me about how they need a charger with 10 usb ports when traveling, because everyone in the family has a smartwatch and other devices that need frequent charging.
They have emotional support. It can be friends, therapy, groups, or bare minimum some personal resources that they can access if things get rough. It’s impossible to be someone’s only support. They will drag you down with them.
To add to that- they have a positive and receptive view of therapy.
