Is it time to “right-size” the range of button cells?

Ooh, that’s a bummer. Odd stubby hands look like they’re from a smaller watch.

If you are considering the CasiOak, I recommend the Bluetooth version for ease of using the functions. The inset digital display is small and using the phone app is much easier than manipulating the buttons. I chose the Caution Yellow version as my wife’s Christmas present to me and then filled the pusher button functions with white paint for legibility. I am happy with it. This is how it looks on my 7” wrist:

Tissot deserves to be in the Enthusiast or Entry-level Luxury category, IMO, and TAG Heuer more properly belongs in Entry-level Luxury, but as always, I could be wrong.

My two Seiko quartzes from the late ‘70s.

That makes perfect sense, as my newest watch is a GAB-2100 and the small negative display is very hard to read, especially in poor light. The saving grace is the phone app that allows far easier use of all the functions. Doing it with the watch buttons is too much of a PITA.

My wife and I had an almost dry January and it went well, so I’ll be doing a dry Lent and a no-corn-chips Lent. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many people were at 8 AM Mass today for ashes.

commented on How common is interest in ⌚ shared with fountain 🖋️? ·

If you like anachronisms, then fountain pens and mechanical watches fit the bill. When I was in engineering at school and the new electronic calculators were all the rage, one guy chose to use a slide rule and I admired him for it.

Time to change tires

Took the winters off yesterday and checked the brake pad thickness. The beater Fossil that I wrecked the chronograph function on is perfect for that.
