It’s interesting that people used to be like holy shit that person has a Rolex, it’s like $500!! Now people working at McDonald’s have a $800 Apple watch. Wild.
500!? Don’t Rolex watches start at about 20x that? The cheapest price I saw was $10,200.
That’s if I’m reading the info on this site correctly. But I think they’re stupid and wasteful, and also don’t wear a watch! If I had one, I’d sell it to put a down-payment on a home…
You’re right. I know people who have some and the average Rolex is around $25,000, not 500. Rolex are the fugliest watches though and I don’t understand the appeal.
I like watches. I went to a smartwatch when the Pebble Time Steel came out - now on a Pixel watch - but I’d really prefer one of those Garmin watches with long-ass battery life.
I went from a Pebble Time to a Bangle.js 2. I miss the button-based interface that the Pebble had (the Bangle uses a touch-screen for most interaction) but otherwise it’s been a decent replacement.
Rolex, you’re next
I like mechanical dive watches but I also like them cheap. Thanks Vostok.

I miss Pebble. That was the right blend of smart/simple with great battery life.
I want someone to make a Casio f91w inspired fitness watch with no customisable ui just time and show fitness stats

My PTS is nearing its end. I have a PTHR on a shelf… will miss them.
