I wear my Seiko 5 every day, I need to set the day once every other month and the time once every ~3 weeks, it winds perpetually.
After the world is over, I'll still be able to tell time.
I would love a smart watchband so I can get meeting alerts but I don't see a way they can make a smartwatch that beats my $100 mechanical.
- sdrothrock 10y agoI love mechanical watches too and have been looking for something that combines some smartwatch functionality with a good mechanical watch; have you seen Chronos? https://wearchronos.com/ https://wearchronos.com/
- pcurve 10y agothat's actually very intriguing! The only thing that worries me is, I'd be concerned about tapping my mechanical watch dozens of times a day. Tapping can exert surprising amount of force to tiny movement pieces.
- sdrothrock 10y agoAgreed -- same worries for the vibration. But for something like light notifications alone... I'd have to get one and try it out first, though; it seems like a reasonable compromise.
- Animats 10y agoAs timekeeping devices, the Casio G-Shock devices with solar charging and WWWV setting are hard to beat. Rugged, waterproof, etc. Prices start around $55. All they do is tell time, without requiring any attention or maintenance.
