jokes aside of course it's not. and not all of them have bad taste either - and bad taste isn't reserved to them

but some of them are the bottom of the barrel when it comes to taste

once i traveled through this village in transylvania:

oh boy, they look even more hideous in flesh

they love gold and gold and gold. i bet they adore the new look of the oval office lol
Some of them are fortune tellers and itinerant. They have strange behavior and rough clothes, perhaps because of poverty!

i've been using different garmin instincts for a while. super reliable, light, durable stuff. i'm not missing the usual oled screen, these are very clear and easy to read in direct sunlight while biking or hiking. and contrary to the miserable battery life of regular smart watches, these last for 2+ weeks on a single charge

I just wish it has High Tide/ Low Tide (lunar tide) tracker, if it had that, it’ll be the perfect one for me. Love Garmin, it’s the only thing that holds me back from getting one.

Now that I’m mentioning it, it appears there is a Garmin model instinct 2X. :hihi:

never used that data for obvious reasons but apparently multiple instincts have this:

Went into a watch store and glance at a few watches, specifically Casio, elegant design and magnificent in shape of style. After a long time and emergence of many different brands, I still remain loyal to Casio. I bought one for myself.

I was gifted a Rolex almost 20 years ago and stopped wearing it 7 years ago because it fails to do the one thing reliability its supposed to. Tell the time.

Now I use an Apple Watch because it tells the time and also has fitness functions too.

Went to a watch store and got a new strap for my Hublot. Last week I ordered a Casio and it has steel strap. I didn't want to leave my old watch unused, so I bought a new strap for change the pace. It's like a new watch now, just like the injured Juve players who are considered new signings after returning from injury.

it probably just needs a service. rolex's are usually very reliable, but moving parts still need lubrication and from time to time, every mechanical watch needs some adjustments too

i wouldn't give up on it. it's probably a valuable workhorse

I took this image from a random Instagram page that the Instagram algorithm suggested to me as I'm a watch enthusiast and spend plenty of time roaming in watch pages on instagram. The result of one person's participation in choosing watch brands that I don't agree with. I choose Casio as the winner.
