The Not-So-Smart Watches

In 2022, I started to learn a trade: watch repair. It's a long story I will get to in later posts. I will be uploading pictures of watches I repair as well as providing historical updates. That said, I wanted to talk about something real quick: Smart Watches. I buy batches (lots) of watches on Ebay, repair them and then give them to those who want or need a watch. Some of those lots I get include 'smart watches'. 

Yesterday I decided to investigate one of the smart watches I collected. After my research/examination, I am convinced it's not the kind of watch I want to have. Moving on. Upon opening the Smart watch, I found it contained a memory card. For those of you who do have smart watches, do me a favor. If or when you dispose of your smart watch, erase/destroy the memory card that is inside the watch. Be smart with smart watches.

FYI - For whomever tosses a Smart watch and it ends up in one of the watch lots I purchase on Ebay, I will be deleting any files on cards and then destroying the disk to make sure your info and files are safe.
