#2A delightful essay on the resurrection of the Swiss watch business
Re: Watch Men
#3I have a self winding mechanical with a 24h rotating bezel which I love. But, I'm wearing a citizen JJY/DCF synchronised solar powered unit. It's aesthetics are good, and the dual time functions fantastic, and with a rPI radio to sync to NTP (I live outside the radio time signal distances from all of the worldwide sources) it's accurate.
But I do like owning a simple, albeit self winding mechanical watch. I went Japanese (jsprings which is budget friendly seiko)
I had a quartz based tissot I loved. Badly made plastic battery case lid. I wish people didn't cheap out on the back. I had a Timex ironman after watching a Will Ferrell film stranger than fiction which featured one, which was lovely but Timex don't do good quality control, the alarm died, and the watch grated as a badly designed badly executed vanity.
I miss my old Timex with a NATO strap. It lost 5 minutes a day but in 1975 I felt like a grown up.

after sales service for most watches is... subpar. I have a timex for 5 years now and the strap holder is torn, so i haven't used it since then :(
