My Apple Watch - Series 2 in Space Grey Aluminum 42mm has finally died. Bought it new when it first came out some 4 years ago around April 2017. I may take it into an Apple Store to see if there is any hope for it, but if not...I’m actually relieved it died as I’m now free from the tyranny of a ‘Smartwatch’. I can enjoy my traditional quartz and mechanical watches again! Although, I’ve been mostly sporting my Victorinox INOX on most days and a Swatch when I need something light. The G-Shocks seem excited to see the light of day again in the gym and on day hikes. Update - 5/22/21 Checked the Apple Service website and they quoted an out of warranty repair for the battery is $79. Considering a newer Model 3 is just double the price of a new battery, just not worth it to fix the battery. I may someday try replacing it myself with one of the aftermarket battery replacement kits, but not right now.
An introspection and ongoing dialogue with myself on how to live simple in this modern, materialistic society.
