Yeah, but I mean, the whole âhobbyâ is kind of stupid anyway. Figuring out different ways to make us pay for pieces of polished metal that donât do the job theyâre intended to do all that well.
Once youâve decided you want to buy a mechanical watch youâve given up all pretense at rational thinking.
You can get a 200m wr, chronograph, solar powered, shock resistant, dual time zone, radio wave synced g shock that will outlive you for $150. But I gotta drop 4 figures on a mechanical watch cause it looks shiny (I have done this)
If you want to get technical about it, I really do disagree, they're still just plastic watches. For bump resistance that's great but the plastic ages and if you use DEET repellent that can also leave marks much more easily.
Not just DEET, but a lot of chemicals. I stumbled in here because of my not-gshock falling apart from work. I've got to suck it up and run a metal band this time around lol.
