A Different "Analog" Question

Primary analog, but my watches are both. A variety of self winding movement watches, and a Casio G-Shock.

Considering an Apple Watch, but thus far, have resisted.

I used to be an analog watch guy. I still have a few Omega, but I never seem to wear them. I gave in to buying an Apple Watch 6 when it came out over a year ago. I might have worn it half a dozen times and now it gathers dust. So no more watches for me, but I still do have endgame analog and digital setups. :)

For those analog lovers do you wear an analog or digital watch? How about you digital guys? My front end is all digital but only analog watches for me.
 

well, because I use the heart monitor, I changed to digital watch..

though my digital front end enjoys my analog “endgames”

WHAT???
 

too much?

I was getting close to retirement and decided it might be time to purchase that Rolex… to me a symbol since a kid of a successful man… yes, Bond… James Bond.

So I did a lot of research and bought a TAG Heuer as a watch to get to know what I needed to know about buying a high end watch. I learned about the size, value of a sapphire crystal, and unfortunately about what absolutely terrible accuracy they have. A $20K Rolex is expected to be off 1 second a day! My TAG was off by 5 seconds a day! I sent it in and it was adjusted and came in at one second a day… but fast… so 30 seconds a month. This is considered good for analog watches.

I spent about one week a month in China and one in Japan. The trains in Japan run like clockwork… digital, not analog. If your watch is off 30 seconds you have missed your train.

I am used to buying luxury goods. The great thing about them is you get more than you paid for. You get exceptional performance and fit and finish… with a work of art thrown in. I have some world class fountain pens that are the most incredible writing instruments created by man…the most beautiful things to use and works of art… but analog watches… keep terrible time.

So I took a different approach and ended in finding the Seiko Astron. A great looking watch, accurate to 1/100,000 of a second (or some silly accuracy), it connects to GPS satellites.. so when you walk off the plane it figures out you moved on the globe and adjusts the time. I never missed a train in Japan.

I retired… no Rolex. But as soon as I saw the specs on the Apple Watch, I knew it would be irresponsible not to get one. The fall monitor, blood oxygen, pulse, EKG… it goes on and on… anyone over 60 years old would be irresponsible not to wear one at all times. Pooh. I really wanted a Rolex… but no way.

Like @jond , I don't wear one.  No jewelry except my wedding band.  A habit I acquired in the Air Force working on radar.  We were not allowed to wear any jewelry when working.
