I don’t know why Apple thinks these things are going to sell. Meta/Facebook has been trying to make them happen for a while, and it’s just not something most people are interested in. I think Google also tried the glasses as well. Meh. I’ll save my money for watches.
Watches that look like plastic, even if they aren’t made of plastic. I don’t care if it’s carbon fiber or ceramic or some other material. It all looks like plastic to me. Also ridiculously long lugs.
I have a little pomodoro timer on my desk that blinks when it hits the time limit. The ones that make noise tend to startle me when I’m deep into a work project. I like to use my chronograph to time certain reports and processes at work to see if I can optimize them. SQL management studio tells you how long a script takes to run, but a lot of reporting programs don’t. It’s been really handy for that and for timing my coffee!
I’m building something similar for my dad’s birthday. It’s not really a Seiko mod, but it does use the NH34 movement I bought most of the pieces on eBay for around $130 total including the movement.
