Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I'm starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

Regular analogue silver/black self-winder 99% of the time.

Also, an offline smart-watch with gadgetbridge to record bike riding and badminton(heart rate, steps, GPS, duration, date, etc)

The simple smartwatch I have is older but does the job OK. Amazfit Bip. No need to pair it with a website to enable, just record sport and lift data off to gadgetbridge app.

That honestly sounds like a great balance! Plus, you have some privacy with your health data with that offline Amazfit, so some goons won't sell that private info to some corner of the internet.
