I know this is going to sound weird, but I'd really love a stylish smartwatch without any wireless comms of any kind on board. And I think a lot of people living in and around Arlington, VA would as well.

how would it be "smart" without some kind of way to get data from your phone (or other wireless data source)? are you imagining a wired tether and periodic sync, like Palm Pilots?

I guess technically I mean more of a fitness tracker watch. Having connectivity to my phone isn't important because I can't take my phone into the places I can't take my current smart watch. I have a Garmin Vivoactive 5 that I used to wear, but having to take it off before going to certain meetings got to be such a hassle that I just got myself a Casio 593 to just not have to worry about it.

A nice bedside dock in which I could mount the watch and have it sync data at that point would round the whole thing out.
