A Different "Analog" Question

I used to wear analog, but the Apple watch has literally changed my life. I have learned that tactile reminders are a lot more effective for someone who doesn't like looking at his phone. I also use the timer daily for cooking, or timing how long the fluid is on the record before vacuuming it, etc.

Analog watches, several of them. No digital watch, I have a phone for that. I expect one day analog watches will make a come back, just like LP's did. 

I have a life-long love for wristwatches. The proper time is never more than a slight wrist flick away. By comparison, a smart phone is totally clumsy. I'd rather approach a person on the street and politely ask them the time. I never have to juggle anything. 

Watch hands are much easier to read than a digital read-out. A simple glance in the general direction of the watch is all it takes.

Over the decades, I've gone through probably a half-dozen wristwatches. Never a Rolex or a piece of jewelry like a Patek Philippe, but good quality Swiss and American watches. Yeah, all my mechanical watches eventually wore out, rusted or just went bad, but they were always a thing of beauty to wear. I keep 'em in a bedroom drawer so I can look at 'em. Ah, there's my macho but elegant IWC...

My latest watch is a Shinola. Proudly made in Detroit by folks who once toiled on motor vehicle assembly lines.

I hate having anything on my wrist the day I realized cell phones tell the time was a very happy day for me.

Ha!!!

Me to.😊 I just don’t like anything on my wrists or jewelry items at all.

I was analogue until about 2 years ago. I’ve owned several Rolex. Never lost many on any. My last was a Submariner I had for some 22 years. Sold it for 3 times what I paid for it. I have become an Apple convert for reasons given above. Originally got one for a cardiac study. Very useful for someone my age.
