I hear what you are saying, but I'm not sure why you aren't doing what you want to do.

Use ad blockers and/or Pi-Hole to avoid pesky ads.

Watch live TV.

Write a letter.

Stay away or use sparingly, data hungry services.

I know I feel better for it and I don't feel as if I'm missing much.

This is a great watch. I remember the days of trying to program and understand how to program a 32k BBC, using the Users Guide which came with the computer.
