I am not a fan of this writer. Firstly, TokyoFlash's watches which are "similar to reading an abacus or calculating Roman numerals" are just binary watches. Secondly, watches are amazing. Its not just about knowing the time when ever you need to by simply looking down, but its about the craftsmanship that goes into a well made watch. Its about the aesthetic pleasures of a beautiful piece of jewellery which unlike most, actually caries a function.
Watches might be evolving, but in the same way that forms of self expression are evolving. Nearly everyone wants something to set them apart, and some people use a completely un-ordinary watch to do so.

- bradleyland 14y agoNo ill will here, but I may have some insight for you. HN is a community of "hackers". Hackers are builders. Hackers take things apart and understand how they work, whether that be a physical thing, or a conceptual thing. Given the parent poster's example, I think they're bothered by your incorrect statement regarding the TokyoFlash watches. A small point, yes, but many hackers have a penchant for accuracy.
