The difference is that the Submariner can actually be used as a dive watch. If it turned to fail significantly more often than other dive watches underwater, people would be much less inclined to buy it even though it would literally make no difference for them.

- Aunche 9mo agoI mean the Cybertruck, and EV trucks in general to a certain extent, are rather lousy trucks, so they aren't seen as aspirational the same way a normal F150 or Submariner are.
- Aurornis 9mo ago> and EV trucks in general to a certain extent, There are some good EV trucks out there. The Cybertruck is kind of uniquely bad because they tried so hard to make it unique and funny looking.
- Aunche 9mo agoThe customer is always right. If they were good, sales wouldn't have plummeted as soon as the novelty wore off.
