Mech watch death thread

[openwheel]

Smartwatches actually pushed me to getting a regular nice watch. I don't think any smartwatch is quite there yet in terms of what I want/expect, but I am now accustomed to having the time on my wrist. The convenience of that alone is worth having one.

:thumbsup:

Why is this in mobile devices and gadgets?

If the mods want to move it, that's fine.

Where else would it go? Smartwatches are definitely mobile, and most of them require your phone to get a connection.

Smart watches do. Mechanical watches not so much.

True, but it is a thread discussing smartwatches at its heart, isn't it?

I guess in the future, I'll run all my posts and threads by you guys first?

I imagine watches will finally die off when everyone is using contact lenses with tiny built in computers and HUDs that display the time in the lower right hand corner.

The title of the thread is "Mech watch death thread" from a guy who started multiple watch hating threads. :thumbsdown:

Is it too difficult to spell "mechanical"? 😀

Maybe just exercise some common sense and don't start worthless threads. :thumbsup:

Is this "death watch" only for mechanical watches, or also modern, quartz watches too?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_clock

The former are basically all jewelry, a quartz watch will tell the time better and cost fraction of a mechanical watch. Are sale of both declining or just mechanical ones?

Not sure why you think I hate watches, just trying to predict a trend.
