    I absolutely love the design but I’m surprised nobody has pointed out that this goes against the very purpose of wrist watches: you can’t just turn your wrist and look at the time.

    I know it’s just a press of a button, but if only one of your hands is full (depending whether you’re right or left handed) then it gets annoying rather quickly.

    As for the Rolex obsession: I’ve lost several watches, but every single time I just re-bought my cheap Casio. I love it and it does the job quite reliably. Also, I personally dislike analog watches.

      That was the purpose before the invention of pocket computers pretending to be phones. Now they’re just jewelry. They don’t even need to function anymore.

        TBF I still have both. Nothing beats quickly glancing at your wrist (until they develop built in HUD brain chips, so another 2 years). Especially when you’re doing hand stuff anyway.
