  • 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.

















  • Ah so you’re not doing night shift at work or something so you’re asleep during the day. What’s the reason you’re not awake during the day? Wouldn’t that be a good first step to synchronize the time you’re awake with others?

    A couple of years ago I worked from home during summer leave from university and slowly shifted to night work and day sleep. That had the same effect as for you, totally out of sync with everyone so I couldn’t meet with anyone, couldn’t call anyone, etc. I was so happy that summer leave was over and I was forced to sync up with the rest of the country and meet everyone again.

    Oh, back in Sweden I also had regular movie nights with two or three friends. What was cool and made it less awkward was that we restricted it to only old classic movies from before 2000. That way we could say we’re very sophisticated movie enthusiasts and we also learned a lot about classic movies which none of us would usually watch ourselves at home. That was great fun.
