Why?

Maybe it's just my misunderstanding, by why is someone going through the WRUW posts posting a sad crying reaction?

I just don't get it. Is this person crying because he/she doesn't own that watch?

I look at these reactions and think, like a normal person, "...yep, that's fire, clapping for well done, love hearts of course, thumbs up....wait a minute...sad crying? WTF?"

Anyway, I just think that it's very odd. I don't know if anyone else has noticed these odd reactions to very cool watches.

This isn't me. That's the problem with emojis. Who knows what the intent is or if they were even chosen correctly.

I get several emotions when looking at the watches on here and usually not an emoji to express my feelings. Usually its jealousy, envy, rage (not another @@@@ !) exasperation mixed with sadness (the guys been collecting a year and amassed £50k of watches) and sometimes not just about the watch but the location they are in, and I think I would love to be there ! I was jealous of @Pallet_Fork the other day in a rather stunning location with a fab Timex and a cool drink, and I told him so. On a more serious note though, no idea why the crying emoji. I have used it usually when someone has attempted a repair etc and it has gone t#ts up ! I don't comment on a lot of watches but if one catches my eye will give a positive emoji. If its a watch I hate then say I nothing as more than enough negativity in the world and at the end of the day, live and let live.

I gave you a few. 😂

Hah! I was wondering if I was just noticing that myself because of the new app formatting for WRUW, but now that someone else has pointed it out, it is odd.

When one clicks the emoji button to add, the sad one is there by default, it does not mean there are sad votes in my experience. I do find it funny it is one of the few on first click.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

Maybe the wrong emoji was picked by mistake, fat fingers kind of thing

I’m declaring my use of 🦄as an homage to the past month of struggle 🤣

I don't know about that, again and again and again? You might be right, but hmmmm....

·

In case anyone hasn't noticed, I like unicorns.....🦄🤏🏻....

Also no clue on the crying thing. You can leave an even bigger crying emoji if you want though, if anyone was wondering...

😭.

On a side note: @Pallet_Fork , your idea for the crown winder tool thingy was LEGIT dude. Best way ever to wind up some of my Vostok Retro dress watches.

Thanks bra! 🤘🏻🤙🏻

Maybe there's a new crybaby badge and they're just trying to help you get it.

I think we found the culprit guys! When I click the emoji button it presents me this:

Which is the smiley I use the most. So that MUST mean @AllTheWatches is going around crying at every WRUW post ::insert_detective_emoji::

I found that tool useful on some watches as well, so I just thought I'd share. Glad to help! 🤝

Doesn't sound like you like me much, and I'm okay with that. I'm just seeking understanding.

Not at all! I'm just sarcastic and don't understand all the badges you can get. I tried looking through them but got tired of scrolling.

Love to tell you that was the case, but I would be surprised if I used it outside of an actual very sad post, it’s a default listing for all.
