Thoughts on the Apple Watch? I have a Sub (which I love) but I don’t want that to be daily wear

I just can’t get behind a smart watch. If you want an easy, daily wear automatic, check out Steinharts. For less than the cost of a single Rolex servicing you get great style and the same ETA automatic movement you’ll find in an omega. Also, the price point is low enough that you won’t feel bad wearing it every day.

Or you could just wear your sub everyday, too! (Besides, isn’t there some rule at google about buying the competition ?)

I have tried smart watches 4 times now and keep coming back to my automatics. Personally, I don't need another device giving me notifications.

I'm (27F) making 4x more than my partner (33M). How do you deal with significant income differences in your relationships?

I'm dating a guy and we just had a serious discussion about our finances. I just learned that I earn 4x more than him (200K). We're based in Portland, OR and he's a bank teller and I'm a designer fortunate to be paid SF rates. I'd like to get married and have kids one day and not feel the pressure of being the breadwinner. How have others managed a similar situation?

I hate that I’m saying this but I really just want a beautiful watch that is horologically great but just has one pusher that sends a signal to your phone to do one specific task. I can’t tell you how often I’m out and about and I would love to just press a pusher on the side of a Tudor or something and it can’t just tell my phone to Shazam a song or something. I don’t want a screen, I don’t want it to be complicated, I don’t want it to be noticeable. I don’t have the answer, just the desire

Hey y’all. Would love to get some thoughts from people about buying vintage watches and what resources you might use to evaluate a piece before you buy.

I’ve only ever bought new watches but am in love with some vintage pieces. I’m not really sure where to start with resources to do my due diligence and ensure I’m not massively over paying or buying something that no watch maker today could really service.

Would love some thoughts from the bowl on any vintage buys y’all have done.

Thanks!
