Sounds like a US home lol Welcome to modern quality control where things went downhill instead of up like modern society thinks. You can actually quantify this. Look at sales of vintage and old goods. Their prices are very high and have a high demand. Modern plastic and construction has gotten of poorer quality.

Insulation well good insulation is wildly expensive but saves most of all its the largest expense usually.

That’s why I said shop used watches like open box or used as I mentioned a warranty being superb… Never buy from the manufacturers website. That was a link to study the features for you not to buy it from there. 😉 I can’t do all the leg work for you.

I wouldn’t waste your time with a half ass product. I’ve done quite a bit if research into this. I find Garmin to have the best overall watches with a good privacy policy last I looked. Make fake account and log no important info in that matches you such as age leave blank and other main identifiers. Even obscure gender if you want. Opt for a watch that has no microphone and disable gps if you want. Check out the Garmin tactix 7 I believe us their current. Ability to completely wipe the watch with a button. Stealth mode with no wireless connectivity for military. Its very legit in how it operates. 28 day battery life even longer if you get the solar glass.

Shop second hand for price reduction. Their warranty is second to none, don’t like that color they change it, don’t like the band they’ll send you any bands you want, have an issue, total replacement, they even let you keep the original until the new one arrives so your not out anything. Not a shill just a no frills company from my experience.

This is the way.

I use bitwarden. Are they not good anymore? Data Breach?
