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.
I have often found humans require the ability “make fun of themselves” in order to derive pleasure. For their species this is normal and you should not find it disconcerting.
A suitable metaphor for this would be saying that you didn’t enjoy having to start a Model T Ford with a hand crank so you’ve refused to drive a car ever since. Reminds my of my Grandfather.
