Dud post ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hey everyone! I recently received the #wristy90 badge and I wanted to go back and look at my posts.

So far this one was by far the worst at 3 reactions! #swingandamiss

๐Ÿ˜ฌ I think the app might have had an update that day?

Oh well, thought it was interesting... ๐Ÿค“โœŒ๐Ÿผ

Are we supposed to be keeping track of how many reactions we get?

No - and (honestly) this is not a handsome watch. If people just spaff photos up on WRUW and donโ€™t really engage then tumbleweeds are the standard reaction. I donโ€™t think it really matters either if the OP likes itโ€ฆ this is a badge flex post at the end of the day.

I was being a little facetious, I admit. I just hope people don't get too hung up on engagement and focus more on the community we're building here. I know it's in the interest of App creators to gamify things, but it's truly not a competition (especially since none of us are getting paid) the only reward we can seek here is connection.

I gathered; if anything I wanted you to see that it landed with someone. The irony is that connection isnโ€™t being felt because many donโ€™t put the effort in. This is essentially watch Instagram 2.0 and watch Facebook 2.0 now - look at my picture and let me regurgitate decades-old untruths.

The Orient SK is also an ugly watchโ€ฆ I have an ugly vintage Orient SK as well, and I donโ€™t cry when people tell me itโ€™s ugly, or fail to give me digital fist-bumps over it.

I think it's cool! I love those 70's internal bezels (not your point, but still!)

I am putting the effort in to tell @Porthole that his is an ugly watch. I am glad that I don't have any ugly watches. That would be embarrassing.

I'm sorry you don't like your watch... Maybe just get rid of it? Since you feel so strongly about it. lol

Thank you - I appreciate the effort ๐Ÿ˜‚

It was early collectors folly, Iโ€™ve had it for nearly 20 years, so it is a reminder that not all ideas are good ideas.
