At least with watches you can discern the difference!Hey!
In our audio vernacular that act could be considered as "op-amp rolling".

The future looked so exciting - now you have to pay a subscription fee to use the heated seats or unlock "sports mode" in your car.
"TAXI!" - back to the 80s please.

Not much bling but a nice (to me [that my wife gave me {one step above a plastic one]}) watch.
I don't like having to pull out my phone to get the time, when I could just glance at my wrist.

- back to the 80s you say? Flash back to 1969 when "General Motors scientists are working to make …."

Some people need that to happen.
I do not, I'm a member of the subset group of people: "not all who wander are lost".
Used to collect watches and trade, still have a sizeable collection.
But the one that really sticks with me is the Rolex Explorer II.
For dirty work, bicycle riding, motorbike etc. a Casio G-Shock is my tool of choice.

Doing some cleaning here this morning and going through stuff to get rid of and I found a watch! lol...I have no recollection of this but I guess I must have bought it at some point probably 20 years or more ago. It's quite nice! I'm going to get a new battery put in and add it to the rotation.
Omega is already advertising the ArtemisII/Orion/Integrity crew members' choice for their on-wrist SpeedMaster variants.
All four crew members also brought along a Breitling NaviTimer, for the ride-along... or as spares!

Had this as a daily for about 2 months. Has been great in that time.
This also happens to be my first post here! I've learned a good bit so far as well, with Amir's reviews and measurements influencing two purchases so far (SMSL RAW-MDA 1 and Hifiman HE6SE). The SMSL has been great, and the Hifiman is coming tomorrow.

Thank you! I hope to learn a whole lot more from this forum!
I’m not a watch guy. I have a couple heirlooms that I never wear. My wife took a couple links out of my Rolex and she wears it now. It’s a 36mm, bought for my grandfather, a much smaller person than me. It always felt a touch small for me; better for my wife.
I wear a hand-me-down Apple Watch Ultra 1st gen that I like quite a bit. It reeks of quality, at least compared to the non-ultra. Still fast, nice display, etc. Tracks workouts, still has a long battery life. I don’t need any of the features of the newer models.
Previous Apple Watches I’ve owned didn’t have a big enough battery after a couple years. They would last a whole day so long as I wasn’t tracking a ski day or mountain bike workout. Also, the styling was too understated for me, even as a guy who doesn’t like bling.
I guess what I’m saying is that if you want a cheap Apple Watch, I think you’d be better off with a used Ultra 1 than a new SE.
