While it's not a luxury brand by most respects, has anyone considering adding a Jord (wooden watch) to their collection? They inexpensive, but handcrafted, unique and durable. I got one as a gift a long time ago, before I knew anything about watches, I don't have it anymore, but I'm considering getting one again.

I think you should get one if you really want it. It’s certainly unique and will be a conversation starter from the other types of watches most people wear.

It’s not for me personally since I have a handful of luxury watches that I reach before anything else.. and I’d probably notice a drop in quality and feel. That’s not to say I don’t have or wear non-luxury watches from my collection, but rather they’re associated with some type of special memory.

I always encourage people to get what they want. My wife had a wood watch and we had a bad experience with it. They tend to show their age, chip or dent easily, and don’t like humidity. She was used to putting her watch on the sink before getting in the shower and that definitely shortened its life.

Just started a new role in finance and I’m the only woman on the team. It’s been 3 weeks and the guys have been pretty unwelcoming and kind of rude.

One of them keeps trying to scare me that the work will get hard etc and there’s always awkward silence and sometimes unnecessary rude remarks. I just started and don’t feel right what should I do.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

Shot in the dark since it’s an expensive, niche, and quartz watch… but does anyone have a Breitling Emergency?

I always intended to wear with a leather strap but it took me far too long to get one. Although I did like the bracelet a lot more than I thought I would. The bracelet seems to be a constant knock on GS but I didn't find anything wrong with it. At least this model.

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value.

What is your opinion on this topic?
