The first Apple Watch Series 1 came out in 2016, I was one of those who flew to Tokyo to grab one.
There was that fascination over, yes, owning a watch that synced with your phone, apps and all!
Over the years, the Apple Watch evolved as technology advanced as quickly as the iPhone.
As quickly as the phones changed, so did the watches. And the other digital devices.
A few years after the launch of the Apples Watch, many other brands came out with their own versions of the “smart watch”. And smart phones.
I have nothing against technology. In reality, I am one of those who embraced the craze.
On our recent trip to Tokyo, one realization struck me when my Apple Watch died on me. Yes. It literally lost power several times. And I knew this 5 year old watch (yes it was a series 4), was ready to retire.
And while I was looking at my “dead” watch at Shinjuku, the realities that struck me were:
1. The watches had no resale value. These smart watches had a life span. They don’t last like the phones and no matter how expensive
