If you want a watch that looks like a Russian oligarch just curled up around your wrist and died, you might be interested in the latest model of Rolex’s Sky-Dwe

  Agreed. I actually don't care about watches, personally, but I found the author's writing compelling enough to remember why I care about some things that just might not be considered "practical". Very inspiring.

  Very smooth writing, like a luxury watch. I can't believe I've now opened a few tabs of watch manufacturers, looking at their goodies. Haven't worn a watch in years, but curious to see if any designs take my fancy. I'm not a fan of classic, I'd prefer something sci-fi, dark, modern, hi-tech, unexpectedly cool with a comically over-the-top product video... https://youtu.be/R5aj53a1wQE https://youtu.be/R5aj53a1wQE

    Thanks for the link, I think it's a step in the right direction. I've stopped wearing Pebble Steel because it's too ugly, though the functionality is perfect: you can see what's happening with your phone to decide whether you want to take it out of the bag to respond to a call or a message. What would be perfect, is a classic timepiece design with really high-contrast and high-resolution display as a watch face, which would display something only in case of incoming notification. I.e. a smart watch should have a mode where it looks totally "dumb" and classy.
