In 50 years, will it still fit my sense of style? Will I manage to avoid misplacing it or getting lost for 50 years?
I'm not saying I want a Smart Watch (getting even more distracted? No thanks). What I'm saying is that lasting power in a device isn't just about continuing to function.
- Jtsummers 9y agoFair, but that particular style has apparently already made it 50 years. It's got lasting power at least with a decent sized (or well funded) segment of the market. It's also an object you can give to children and grandchildren. I have a number of objects like these. I would have zero interest in passing on my 2017 Apple Watch 3 in 20 years. There's something to be said, IMO, for things that will last generations and not just years.
- icebraining 9y agoI got a watch from my grandfather. It was completely wasted on me.
- icantdrive55 9y agoI would bet that Omega Speedmaster, Rolex Bubbleback, an IWC ingenier, or older Rolex submariner will still be in style 50 years from now. My favorite watches are all made before I was born, and I'm getting up there. Certain watches are timeless.
