Mine is catching up on me Diddy stories with video game dungeon (literal dungeon, like in a castle) music playing in the background + glass of wine and/or in combination with a nice vape topped with an obligatory sense of personal superiority hahah!

    My wife bought me a very expensive mechanical watch as a gift, which I myself would never even think of looking at in a shop. First I was like, what the hell am I supposed to do with that? I already have a smart watch!

    But god damn it’s growing on me.

    1. Because it’s such high quality it doesn’t scratch and looks absolutely stunning even after wearing it constantly for month. Normally I put scratch resistant stickers on it and stuff but they scratch everywhere they touch anything. This one nothing at all.
    2. And this is so huge to me and I never realized it, I never have to charge it, it just always works. It glows in the dark a bit because of the fluorescent clock hands too.

    I kid you not, this is so amazing, every time I want to know the time it just works for months without charging and it looks beautiful.

    Yeah, that’s my luxury.

      I love mechanical watches, and I’ve had watches since before smart watches were a thing. The idea of a watch becoming obsolete is so absurd to me.

      I have a Panerai kinetic winding watch, and I can’t explain how much I love wearing it. There’s a certain old world, rare craftsmanship to it that I can feel the weight of on my wrist, and hear when I hold it to my ear. Somehow it makes me appreciate time passing and the value of making the most of it.

      I stopped wearing a smart watch about two years ago when all the notifications were bothering me. I had gotten it for free so it didn’t bother me that it was sitting there. I was always obsessed with watched as a kid, but as an adult I never stumbled upon any watches I deemed worthy and unique enough for my wrist. One day I stumbled upon a vintage watch on instagram. 2yrs later I now own about 20 vintage watches (quartz, mechanical and digital).None of the super crazy ones that cost thousands, though those look pretty amazing sometimes.
