Funny that. I used to never wear a watch. I had a phone after all.
One day I decided I might get myself a 'smartwatch' (primitive, it was about 5 years ago or so!) but not being sure I'd like 'wearing' a watch at all, I bought a cheap chinese automatic watch on Aliexpress for £9 shipped.
Guess what? I never bought a smartwatch, instead, I bought a whole collection of real watches, some vintage, some modern, some expensive, some cheapos and I love accessorising with them. Must have 20 of them by now.
The "crown" of my collection is a Bulova Spaceview in 18K gold. It's the nerd's nerd watch, it has A TRANSISTOR in it, a resonator, it 'humes' a 360hz faint hum, and was made in 1964 before Quartz was invented; that movement was onboard the Apollo missions. And that watch has no 'face' so all you see is the innards with the tuning fork in the middle, and a pair of tiny coils around it. </orgasm>
