Hottest watch takes?

Gimme your hottest watch takes! You hate Nato straps, Hublot is really cool and tasteful. Quartz are not “real watches”, etc. 

Fire away people!

Watches are dumb and we don’t need them. They just get in the way of early retirement

Ooooffa! I did not need to hear that….but I needed to hear that. If that makes sense.

The Rolex company are a bunch of thieves preying on the stupid.

Analog chronographs are overwhelmingly bought because people like the look (dislike elegance) or they confuse busyness with business. Hundreds of serious things get timed with analog chronograph wrist watches across the globe each year.

Rose gold is for girls and bronze is a novelty watch material just above wood.

Also, Grand Seiko's seasonal popcorn dials are a total waste. Nobody looks at them and is reminded of snow or a tree or whatever other cockamamie artsy nature rationale the Japanese marketers concocted.

The majority of postings on watch media (reddit, Instagram, WatchCrunch, wherever) are just long exercises in confirmation bias.

We post a picture on WRUW solely to get the likes.

We post about how such and such brand has the perfect design language and how you could never want anything more to convince ourselves that we spent our money wisely.

We invent mysterious people and forces who are keeping down the brand we love by lack of appreciation.

We don't actually care about conversation much, we are just here for the dopamine hit of people agreeing with us.

And yes I'm totally talking about myself too.

G-SHOCKs are ugly.

Seiko is ridiculously overrated because a few early "influencers" pushed them hard, and they were available on the grey market dirt cheap because nobody actually wanted them. 

The F91W is crap, it's only popular because it's so cheap that you can buy a new one every week, and not notice a dent in your finances. It's like arguing the McDonald's hamburger is "God Tier" because you can buy a lot of them for little money, and they fill your belly. 

I have more, but I'll let the above have some soak time🤣

Everyone would run a Rolex AD similarly if given the opportunity.

Hah! With you on the first half, but I do have a soft spot for those GS dials, whatever damned names they contrive, i just get weak in the knees looking at them. Inexplicable. Shameful. But unavoidable on my part.

Oh, I would be much worse than the ADs currently are.  Much more transparent but much worse.

99% of watch owners who own a diver watch will never go diving but would like to show how cool their watch is if under 300m of water. I am one of them, I have 2 diver watches and I take my Apple Watch for snorkeling and water activities.

We can all look at our phones to tell the time. Watches are not needed.

Oooh.. kinda hurt saying that out loud. 🙏
