My beloved bought me a Sekonda watch back in 1974 and I’m still using it, keeps perfect time.
Something different from the Red and White Shop so well done to the club.
Toy shops have these in if anyone is interested
Does anyone wear an Apple iWatch thingy? I don't and probably never will, I can't imagine ever getting to a stage in my life where I think "my life will be better with this silly product in it".
Just curious as to their capabilities and the types of characters who wear them.
Got about 20 watches. One of them is an Apple watch which I bought on a whim. Only tend to use it for fitness related stuff - recording workouts and heart rates etc. Not really my cup of tea, not least of which because the icons are far too small to see properly when your eyes are as old as the rest of you. Also a pain having to keep it charged up. On the plus side, the latest ones tell you if you're about to keel over and die, which is probably useful information.
I bought a cheapo Sekonda for £18 for when I go fishing. Don't mind knocking that about or risk damaging it, well not at that price.
Daily, I wear a Raymond Weil. I bought it in Cyprus over 20 years ago. I once damaged the glass/face. My insurance company offered me a tidy sum to replace it but, I insisted I wanted it repairing because of appearance and sentimental value so, sent it back to Raymond Weil which they gladly did for a few hundred quid. Best watch I've ever owned.
