With that watch you have to put an app on your smartphone to access some of the watch's features (such as a step counter and auto time setting). Plus, it cuts the battery life to less than 1/3 of the battery life of the A168 (2 years versus 7 years).
I don't want a smart watch, I just want a watch that is a watch! Set the day, date and time, put it on my wrist and it is good to go, and all I have to do is replace the battery every few years.

I have a simple watch. It's not digital. It shows the date. It's solar powered. It's a Citizen watch. I also have an Apple Watch v3.
