Old Kook Skater
I can’t believe this was so inexpensive…
I can’t believe this was so reasonably priced. I’ve tried to be a “watch guy” but just can’t rationalize having a drawer full of watches that aren’t all used - it makes no sense to me - and I’m simple and like a watch to show the date and time, which this does beautifully and reliably.This watch is fantastic. I bought it to have an inexpensive watch to wear when not using my smart watch and to be honest, I don’t miss my smart watch. Maybe it has to do with having been raised in the 70s and 80s and knowing not everyone needs access to me when they *think* they need it. This watch is very attractive and looks good dressed up or down, and it keeps excellent time. I really like the lume on this watch - the contrast of blue and green is nice, and having the outer ring illuminated is terrific. The cultured sapphire crystal is a very nice touch. I’ve worn the watch swimming and it’s perfect. The strap is comfortable, if not a little narrow - but moving from a much larger smartwatch, the variance was to be expected.The illumination does reduce after being in the dark for about 10 minutes (maybe less) but once my eyes adjusted to the darkness, the illumination is readily visible and on those occasions I wake at night I can easily see what time it is.The ceramic outer ring does have the effect of being black in the office and when in the pool, more like a mirror, and is almost chrome in appearance - very cool optical illusion.I’m rough on my watches - not intentionally - I just am - me and doorways and me and pool surfaces… however this watch has held up wonderfully. No scratches yet, though I fully anticipated some - still looks brand new.Do I miss the endless notifications and coaching? Not really - now that I know I’m hitting steps in my daily routine, and nobody needs me immediately except for my kids and they’ll call. I can turn off all other notifications on a smartwatch, but then what’s the point?I can’t even recall why I ever bought a smartwatch in the first place.Ver másVer menos
