    I have some strict rules about buying things where I cannot verify the used materials:

    Nothing that goes into my body
    Nothing that goes on my body
    Nothing that touches my food
    Nothing my pets touch
    Nothing that needs to be plugged in or charged

    A smart watch violates multiple of those rules. I wouldn’t want to risk it.

      While I completely appreciate your perspective, I do have to ask: what with how interconnected, not to mention fucked up, the world is today, wouldn’t pretty much everything violate at least two or three of those rules?

        I took that one to mean You know your Samsung S21 was made by Samsung. That suspiciously cheap “hoverboard” with the lithium ion battery was made… in china… somewhere.
