The primary function of a watch is to tell time.
Yes, but we are in a world where everyone has a phone that tells more accurate time than their watch. Many of us enthusiasts seem to like auto/mechanical watches (and are willing to pay huge sums) despite the fact they are objectively worse at their so-called ”primary” purpose than quartz watches. So the answer is people wear watches (mostly) for aesthetics, and people can pick what they like. And there is no point in arguing about taste - if we all liked the same thing there would only be one watch we would all wear and #wruw would be the most boring thread ever.
Why not just go for a mixture of both - I‘ve got a California dial watch coming from a Kickstarter microbrand and cant wait for it!
Really like the retro look, and the size. 150m wr would be plenty for my purposes. Is the Miyota 8215 movement any good? I have no experience of it but read different things (though I can’t really be a snob about this in my price range)
Cheers, will keep an eye open for a nearly new one to pop up. They Combat Sub is currently 525 euro on Gylcine‘s website. Looked at jurawatches.co.uk as a UK AD to see if there was bargain to be had and they are selling at £1,400 - triple the price!!! 🤷♂
Just had a look, those are amazing! If the yellow one was in stock I might have had to try to find more pennies down the back of the sofa...
