I always find it funny when people call watches jewelry as if they aren’t still the most convenient way to tell time and do other things.

Sure you can reach into whatever pile of lint and pull out a phone to check the time but by then I will have already set the timer on mine. It’s faster to the draw 🤷🏽‍♂️

Then what if you work a job with long hours? Are you supposed to take your smart watch off to charge it?!

Lastly to help me better appreciate the mechanical mastery that is a good time piece, I changed the font on my Home Screen to unreadable so I have to check my watch rather than my phone. It helps me disconnect from digital and value time more.

Just my two cents. P.S I’m roasting coffee here which is extremely time sensitive and happens super fast.

    Question OP: What can your Longines do beside telling the Time and looking good? Can you check the Weather? Or Navigate with it? Or make calls? Can you listen to Music with it? I could make a List what my Ultra can do which would be so long i would most likely run out of Characters before i’m finishing it. Yes, Mechanical Watches are great but what you’re doing is comparing the first Landline Phone to a iPhone 15 Pro Max and claiming the first Landline Phone is superior to the iPhone because you didn’t need to charge the Landline Phone…
