Maybe it's just a general fatigue from AI, notifications, microphones, and cameras everywhere, but I'm pretty sure my next watch will be something from Germany or Switzerland containing springs and gears.
- zaken 7d agoI went from an EV to my first manual car earlier this year for similar reasons I think
- speedgoose 7d agoYes but a Garmin is an upgrade.
- smlacy 7d agoOr Japan? Having digital accuracy and 10 year battery life is pretty nice.
- Frost1x 7d agoDon’t forget Japan! There’s some great Japanese mechanical watches. I’m a fan of the Seiko spring drive movement.
- lionkor 6d agoI can really recommend an automatic watch. Go to a jewelry store, try some on in the below 300 euro category (like, 10 euro to 300 euro range), and get one. Suddenly you can leave your phone somewhere, and not panic-check the time on it and get distracted. And they look nice, feel nice. Some of them even have a glass/crystal back, so you can watch the mechanism, relentlessly ticking on. Get an analog automatic watch. It doesn't need to be second-accurate. Everyone else is keeping track of nanoseconds, you'll be okay not knowing.
