Wife watches

[Gellar]

I second this. She rolls over and ive got that thing blinding me.

If my wife was with her friends I liked to send dirty text messages because you know they are looking at your watch and reading it when a message pops up.

I wear an iWatch which syncs to my iPhone. Settings control if audible clicks and screen brightness. I do not need a watch to tell the time as my iPhone is with me. Why wear it? Tracks multiple health-related data points as is a wearable health monitor and exercise tracker so alerts me if I have been sitting on the couch a long time but should stand up now and move around for a couple of minutes.

Also, I use as a timer when flipping thick steaks on the BBQ. When had a health issue the data my iWatch had collected supplied a trendline of my normal oxygen levels going back months, my sleep patterns, heart rate, etc.

Luddites resisted technology. I prefer to not chop wood to cook evening meals since can turn a knob on the kitchen stove which magically lets me cook. I could chop wood. I flip a switch to make light appear rather than use whale oil lamps. I could use oil lamps.

My great-grandfather used a pocket watch tethered to his wool vest and went to his grave mocking the new-fangled watches you could wrap around your wrist which the WW2 soldiers relied upon.

Seems silly to mock a more accurate and useful watch such as a iWatch rather than only wear the leading technology in 1960 but the analog watch will look good while chopping wood each evening and refilling the oil lamps.

Mine hangs on every word and number from her garmin. Every run and walk has to be logged or it's like it never happened. If that watch says 3.98 miles she is not satisfied until that number reaches 4.00. I tell her she has CDO, it's like OCD but in the correct alphabetical order to sooth her brain. Be glad yours is an analog gal.

I’m in the “wife/girlfriend” category and strictly analog. I picked up an Armitron watch like this at a second hand store and wear it every stinkin day. It’s bombproof and I can change the battery without breaking it. https://www.jcpenney.com/p/armitron-pro-sport-womens-black-strap-watch-25-6418blk/ppr5007806002?pTmplType=regular&selectedSKUId=03976920018&store=&cid=cse|google|005_JewelryWatches|JCP_G_PMAX_Jewelry+and+Watches&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21005579196&gbraid=0AAAAADq1iuCd2u2zUGiUE4s0gPEZSMnDy&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqtGb3o_ilwMVRX5vBB1KRzrVEAQYBSABEgK3yfD_BwE

I am intrigued by the " wife/ girlfriend" reference?
We would love to hear more.

I am also an analog watch fan. I really liked my solar powered one- I lost my last one last winter somewhere while I was skinning coyotes and need to get a new one. I can’t remember which brand that one was, but I’ve been looking at the Citizen EcoDrive ones. But the solar was nice. Had my last one for like 7 years. No batteries to change, it held up to field work and everything, and looked nice.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Your thread got me looking at watches again, and while scrolling Amazon I see that this is the one I bought in 2014. It was still running like a champ after 11 years. Wish I knew what I did with it, but I’m definitely a fan of the no battery changes and no charging another gadget.

Which one does she have? My wife loves her smart watch, but refuses to buy herself anything that's not the cheapest thing possible. Every year she buys something she likes the idea of but never lasts then I buy her a better version. I wish she'd just buy the good one from the get go. Never fails.

You have to just think about possibilities or variety...in the next life.

It’s not much more food to cook but 33% more cleaning power.

Explains how she ended up with you .

Sure isn't what I clicked for...

I believe it's a Garmin forerunner but couldn't tell you the model, she's not here to ask right now, she's in NYC to run the marathon on Sunday.
It's held up well, she never takes the thing off and it was 2 or 3 years ago I got it for her for Christmas.

I don’t think you’re supposed to look directly at it.

We do not have have a girlfriend, but I do have a black eye.

Why buy a watch when there is a clock on the stove?

Charles Barkley never disappoints.
