I think the article’s closing is interesting and debatable. Giving credit to the Apple Watch for maintaining people’s interest in a wrist watch… everyone I know that wears an Apple Watch only wears the Apple Watch. But I guess I could give the benefit of the doubt that maybe they wear nicer watches on fancy occasions.
Electric toothbrush. When I don’t have it with me, brushing manually is such a chore. A device performs better than I do and I embrace it.
Prescription glasses. I remember getting to look at a tree with improved sight, and it was wonderful.
Air purifier. Has really helped my allergies.
Honestly, the lack of activity here has quelled my watch lust. But every once in a while I come across a watch ad and read more on it.
What did you enjoy about r/watches?
For me, I liked sharing in the excitement of new and seasoned collectors–but especially the newbies. Occasionally there were cool back stories, and even people getting their small collection stolen and the community pitching in a variety of watches to get them started again. Although sometimes obnoxious, the circle jerk was amusing to have around.
Maybe I’ll figuratively get off my butt and post my 3 watch collection.
This reminds me of a few weeks ago when I came across a tennis-themes Timex Snoopy. I was seriously looking into it, but the Marlin base was crap quality according to reviews. So sad.
I’m putting myself in your shoes, like do I need it? No. But it’s neat! Bonus points to Seiko for the watch box looking like a Poke ball. Really cool purchase.
Vivaldi: the one setting I changed was to block both Trackers and Ads. I do have the YouTube app installed. My Vivaldi bookmark for YouTube is for https://m.youtube.com/ other than that I’m clueless on why Vivaldi launches the YouTube app when you try to go to YouTube.
The Shortcut folder is a great idea. I’ve currently got a Shortcut folder as a widget stack on my Home Screen.
