Digital chaos

Bzilla

I switched over to this shiny G-Shock because I'm getting ready to mop floors, take out garbage, and maybe actually accept reality and maybe go for a walk. (last time I checked it was 15f out, in the sun). I'm sure the F91 would survive but putting on a different watch feels like putting on a fresh pair of socks. Plus idk about you, but I've been participating in alldigitalmonth along with a few enterprising folks. @DariusII proposed it at the beginning of the month and I said, "ah yeah, that sounds fun." And it is! Here are things I noticed

  1. I have a lot of watches
  2.  I like this absolute cold brutal time keeping.
  3.  Sometimes I don't want cold brutal time keeping. I was actually surprised how often I wanted to wear an analog watch. I can't recall having many analog watches before I was like 18, and even then I always preferred digital. I think this comes from buying nicer watches.
  4.  One of the reasons I like casios is because I've been wearing them for more than half my life and the beeps are still the same.
  5.  The functionality of the timex ironman is phenomenal and if I was a smarter kid I would've just settled with buying one of those when the stores I'd go buy watches at stopped selling casios. But that was when I was a one watch person, I'm a better person now.
  6.  The DW6900 and DW5600 are among the highest pinnacles of human creations.
  7.  Even the cheapest one of my watches has a stopwatch on it, this is great and I can't imagine living without knowing exactly how long it takes me to walk to the taqueria. 

I might try going for an all analog week now, just to see how it goes.

I’m with you about the analog conundrum. Digital time telling is precise, exact, digit -flipping precision that lacks the physical movement of little hands…acting as if they are trying to please its wearer.
