[Discussion] What are your hot takes or opinions you haven't yet posted for fear of downvoting? (alien.top)

In a post from a few days ago, I noticed that someone mentioned that they were afraid to post about their dislike of the Tudor BB58 for fear of downvoting. You know what? The BB is a boring watch that's not worth the money, and Tudor wouldn't be half as popular as it is without the connection to Rolex. If Rolexes were as attainable as they were in past years, cut that by a factor of 10. Would you really buy a BB if the reality were that you could just save a little bit more and get a Rolex Submariner? That's my hot take. What's yours?

99% of watches don’t need lume. Yes, it’s a cool feature to have, but to pretend it’s necessary or even a deal breaker for a watch is comical

Wow, talk about a hot take! I vehemently disagree. There's no way to see what time it is at night otherwise. Yeah you can just look at your phone, but you can do that during the day also, so then why bother wearing a watch at all if that's what you're going to do? I'll say that lume indeed would look tacky on a dress watch, but on an everyday more sporty watch, no lume or bad lume is an issue for me.

I have dress watches with no lume I wear at night outings. Never once have I been like it’s pitch black here and I can’t see my watch. You would be surprised how much ambient light watches can grab
