Handyman, can confirm on the crystal and bracelt, and would advise going quartz. As an older guy, you may not even need to spend that much if you take a gander at Vaer. One of theirs--one of my current three-watch collection--I got because it was a very good quartz homage to a Hamilton hand-wound at half the price.

[Question] Analog watch or smart watch? which do you use? in c/watches@style.land

40s, and analog; digital watches have their use, but shouldn't be standard on anyone's wrist but a kid learning to tell time. As far as smart watches go, I can't figure out why anyone wants to be THAT connected to their phone.

A 34mm Benrus is the smallest one I've had; I've read the specs of one or two with a smaller case size, I'm sure.
