    Personally I’m more impressed by a $1k Garmin than a $250k Rolex or whatever.

      Ive been pretty impressed by this 20 year old knockoff Victorinox I have that cost like nineteen dollars originally and yet somehow keeps perfect time.

          Got excited enthusing about watches I thought are cool. Very long and deraily for the original topic. But in summary I think there’s a factor to the dance of advanced mechanics, so to say, and the deliberate absence of contemporary smart functions. A “soul”, if you will. Someone showing you their watch can be like them telling you their favourite Linux distro, it says a lot about a person, and just having one suggests they may be “my people”. 😅

          Though Rolexes are imho fugly often gaudy pieces that do have in-house movements but it clearly isn’t their main selling point. Please don’t use them as an example. I don’t know what the Linux equivalent would be, ChromeOS?
