I bought this watch as my first smart watch as soon as this model came out in 2015.
It has seen a lot of places since, done fairly serious kilometers. A couple of years ago I dropped it and it fell flat on its face, chipping off part of it and leaving a couple of cracks, I fixed it with a dab of uv resin. A year later I dropped it again, had to use more resin and start using screen protectors to protect me from the screen (a sharp edge here, a shard there). It still works just fine.

It has been 10 years of having to remember to take the charging cable with me, even on weekend trips. 10 years of increasingly limited value — the weather widget is so slow that it’s faster to take my phone out. The sports functionality has been useless to me. The occasional Shazam without pulling my phone out, lower friction on purchases, that’s about it. Even in its broken state I can’t see a reason to buy another smart watch as a replacement.
