I wear a vintage Patek. Love it.

ETA: It's a Caltrava. Do a search on the Patek Caltrava. Very timeless and understated.

I also rock an older (15+) Tissot, but it's analog.

What's the advantage of the hybrid A/D?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77448100


The main advantage is not having to reset the day on the calendar display five months out of the year.

But also, having an alarm and a stopwatch is handy.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71828855

Oh, so the A & D interact a little? That is kind of cool
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75445107


And...

With an analog face, one can be spatially aware and see the past, present, and future at a glance and be most cognizant.

With digital, home time - alarm - calendar - etc... is accurate and available.

Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running.

Used by the Founders...
Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives”
reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to
its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in
the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by
the children of the citizens
, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all
their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel

Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day...
America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments...
1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year.
2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges.
3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set.
4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit.

Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates.

Democrats are a WMD, literally.

Something good quality, not gucci, not cheapo.

Something outdoors worthy.

I just wear my Timex. I've had three of the exact same model over the last 30 or so years. It tells the time on a large face I don't have to pay a lot of attention to.

Who gives a shit about the exact minute and second?

Who doesn't know the date if it really matters?

Simple and rugged are more important than anything else.

I hate having anything on my wrist.

I have a drawer full of watches that I don't wear.

Since smart cell phones came along, I see no need to wear a watch.

When I tried wearing them, I had a couple Seiko watches that were decent quality in the $150-300 range.

To make a good analog watch takes someone between a master craftsman and an artist - these people are as scarce as chicken teeth in today's world and thus this type of technology will die out eventually.

Children and young adults nowadays find it difficult to read the time on an old watch face. Quartz analog watches will die out because people cannot read the time on these watch faces.

I wear a few different watches, both automatic and quartz. This is my favorite, accuracy is +1 second per month, and the lume glows like the Sun. Seiko Ninja Tuna:
