Funny that, my interest in watches started /because/ of the smart watches. I picked a cheap chinese automatic watch on aliexpress last year, just to see if it'd still annoy me to wear a watch, as it used to last time I tried a few years back.
Idea was, if I can wear a basic watch, i'd buy a smart one...
Lo' and behold, I loved it. My £12 chinese crapiola was actually pretty darn good and I wore it for several weeks, before I bought another 'proper' watch, and I since bough half a dozen, including 'expensive' swiss ones...
The really funny thing is -- it has increased my phone battery life! I'm not kidding, since I no longer have to wake up the phone to check the time, my phone battery lasts significantly longer!
Now that's a side effect people aren't talking about :-)
- criddell 10y agoDo you have a favorite watch?
- buserror 10y agoActually the one I wear the most is the Steinhart diver one... because it's quite sturdy; and not expensive enough to be scared if it's bumped into stuff... It's really excellent value, I think. As a full blood nerd, my read favourite is the Bulova Accutron Spaceview from 1964 -- it as ONE transistor, so I call it my smartwatch ;-)
- tiatia 10y agoAh. Steinhart. Good too. Kemmner, another one. Some kind of legend. But communication with him is said to be tricky: http://www.ebay.de/sch/erkahund/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= http://www.ebay.de/sch/erkahund/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&...
- tiatia 10y agoNo. But a "good bang for the buck" manufacturer that keeps tempting me. http://www.archimede-watches.com/ http://www.archimede-watches.com/
