To start this final day of 2023 (hush you Aussies & New Zealanders 😉), I am sporting my wooden watch I received on our 5th wedding anniversary from my wife.
It contains the most basic quartz movement, it's not particularly robust, 0M WR, no AR coating & lacks indices so telling an exact time is challenging.
I still love it and it will never leave my collection, even though it gets wrist time about every 2 months.
What is one of your watches that you love even though it doesn't make much sense from a spec or aesthetic POV?

I guess with me, it's my cheapest watch.. a white plastic Casio that cost me all of £15. When I strap this on my wrist, I know summer has arrived
Wishing you and your good lady a healthy and prosperous 2024, Todd

I am wearing it's cousin right now as part of the #watchjourney2023 and understand the appeal.
Hope your New Year is a great one!
Yer late!
The watch my wife gave me on our wedding day, a two tone Gucci watch that I wore the gold tone almost completely off and no longer works. I keep it in a case with all of her watch gifts. Todd, I hope the New Year brings you a happy, healthy and prosperous one for you and your loved ones!

Same buddy!
Happy anniversary and happy new year Todd :) my Aussie mouth is shut mate :)
I’m in the same boat as you haha, my wife got me an Original Grain wooden watch our first Christmas when we were dating, and even though it’s too big and rather uncomfortable if I’m honest. But it’s the one I wear for date nights and means a lot to me (and her!). She always comments how proud she was of that gift when she sees it on wrist. ❤️

It's a looker!
Keep wearing the watch and making her happy, man!
