Do you own and use a smart watch? Or perhaps a traditional "dumb" watch? Or no watch at all and rely on another device such as a cellphone?

If you do own a smart watch what brand is it?
I use a Garmin Forerunner 35.
 
Nothing beats the feeling of someone spotting a Omega on your wrist and admiring the exquisite engineering, compared to wearing a smartwatch with a suit and looking like a real tit with a casio calculator strapped to your wrist. No electronics can replace the timeless elegance of a quality mechanical European watch, especially not something used to falling from trees.
 
I prefer aesthetics over smart watch features. Closest smart watch that actually looks decent is the Fossil range. Apple watch really cannot be matched up well for that classic look, so I have deferred getting it for years even though I am an apple fan boi. Have a FitBit only for exercise though.
 
I can't do without a watch. Now a smartwatch for medical aid points, but prior to that a Guess analogue. Now using a Huawei Band 2-57a.
 
Garmin fore runner 35. app is really useful for step/calorie and sleep tracking.
 
I own a Samsung watch but hardly ever use it, they are a pain in the jack with their constant messages and need for charging. Bought it as a toy to see what they are like, synced it with phone etc because I like to know how things work, not a practical item will stick to real watches. Got a nice metal strap for it so when I do wear it, it does not look totally **** and I don't look like a dumb muscle freak (not likely as old and no muscles anyway)

Yes, Huawei watch GT2.
Favourite feature - having flashlight on the bottom button makes me feel like iron man during loadshedding.
