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.

Cool! Have you looked into the EMF output of this watch? Also, I’m wondering if you have privacy concerns with location data. Can that be turned off?

It will be negligible compared to other smart watches as this only has Bluetooth low energy that comes on for one minutes 4x a day, only if you have the auto time sync activated. Privacy should be fine as location tracking only comes on if you activate it manually, and then only to the Casio app, as it does not sync to any other services. So location is defaulted to off. That said, the watch itself has no GPS so any location would be by the phone.
