We need a better word than non-smart. Maybe “sans iot enshittification”?
Not useful for Ireland, but I really like my local habitat for humanity thrift store for perfectly serviceable used or recovered building materials and appliances. Maybe search for a model prior to the iot insanity wars?
I call my watch 'really smart watch'. It has nothing but time! It is very lightweight and has 2+ years of battery life. That smarter! :-)
A kind of epiphany for me were automatic wristwatches :)
Compared to smartwatches they aren't expensive, look classy and show time and/or date. The quality of Swiss, German and Japanese is reliable. No batteries, no electronics and they wind up by wearing.
Recommendation: Look for the models from the 50ies/60ies which are smaller and still in production, the less known manufacturers have reasonable prices. I love the original Mido Commander.
The cheap ~$10 casios are also excellent. They do have batteries, but they last for several months and you can but replacements at a supermarket for ~$2.
Mine is solar charging. It has never stopped since i bought it :)
It just displays time and can't spam me with notifications! Bliss!
My watch is a genius. It doesn't even need charging. It charges when I move my arm.
unshittified.
