Sabaidee, Welcome!

This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.

This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.

Rules:

  1. Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
  2. Be excellent to each other.

My smart watch actually annoyed me, and I went back to the Mi band.

It's the perfect balance. I get the time; heart, spo2, and sleep tracking; good battery life; notification viewing; phone call viewing..

It's like a debloated smart watch, and it's perfect.

Same. I first rolled back to simple Casio watch but then settled on fitbit band.

I got a Garmin Fenix 7X at very deep discount and love it. It’s not as “smart” as my Galaxy Watch was, but I only charge at most twice a month and it has a built in flashlight
