[Tool Watches] Are they obsolete? in c/watches@style.land

Well that wasn’t really an argument per se just a statement of facts. Quicker to the draw was more of a joke.

Telling time is a simple concept and in that moment digital or mechanical doesn’t matter.

I think I get where you’re going and I agree. What I’m saying is watches have been around for a hundred plus years. If I need to know the time in that moment it doesn’t matter whether it’s mechanical or digital.

We haven’t even begun the conversation on navigation either. Just saying.

Haha you seem to have an affinity for talking to men about sexual acts. Wasn’t what I planned to see in my replies either but guess what. Were here. Might as well make the best of it four eyes.

That’s debatable. I’d take a well built Swiss watch over a plastic battery holder over a 100 year period any day of the week. In 20 years when I pass these on to my kid they won’t have to source some outdated charger.

That is well said though just missing the point that a smart watch will be obsolete before a mechanical watch during our lifetime.

Thank you! It’s definitely easier to have a free hand while checking the time. It was great!

Ever heard of racing, diving, piloting, navigating or cooking? I would use my smart watch but it’s dead….

I always find it funny when people call watches jewelry as if they aren’t still the most convenient way to tell time and do other things.

Sure you can reach into whatever pile of lint and pull out a phone to check the time but by then I will have already set the timer on mine. It’s faster to the draw 🤷🏽‍♂️

Then what if you work a job with long hours? Are you supposed to take your smart watch off to charge it?!

Lastly to help me better appreciate the mechanical mastery that is a good time piece, I changed the font on my Home Screen to unreadable so I have to check my watch rather than my phone. It helps me disconnect from digital and value time more.

Just my two cents. P.S I’m roasting coffee here which is extremely time sensitive and happens super fast.
