My wife bought me a 'nice' watch as a birthday present, a Raymond Weil quartz. Nice thin case that suits my slim build rather well, but... like many other people I hadn't expected the high maintenance cost, but what really put me off was when one link in the bracelet disintegrated. No, Weil don't repair them, and no, they don't sell single links so a jeweler could fix it. They wanted 400UKP for a new bracelet, and so now the fancy watch sits on the shelf and an Apple watch does me very well.
- general_ai 10y agoThat's what people failed to understand about Apple Watch. Everyone else makes wrist computers first, watches second. Apple Watch is the other way around: watch first computer second. It's not quite there yet as a watch, but it'll get there, probably this year. Jony Ive is a watch nerd, he knows it.
