Apple Watch Series 3 – Apple

Obviously, I’m not a smart watch guy. I dig on traditional automatic watches instead… But I have to admit that some of the functionality is really appealing and I love the idea of a Buck Rodgers watch on occasion.

From what I’ve read, the new iWatch is pretty much the most complete offering on the market. It’s typically apple. But you know what bugs the hell out of me? It looks like a suppository on the wrist. I mean, it’s so soft and round… and not at all masculine.

Come to think of it, all of Ive’s designs have moved that way since the iPhone 4. And to me that was the pinnacle. The iPhone 4 felt and looked like a Leica… or something German… Or… It was awesome.

Sinn EZM 1.1

My favorite watch brand re-releases what is probably their most popular watch of all time – the EZM 1.

Quartz Watches

I know I’ve saturated this joint with watch content lately… But that’s how it goes. I’m obsessing currently.

Anyway, here’s an email I got recently:

“Ryan, I need a new watch but I don’t want to be bothered by a mechanical and I don’t want to spend more than $200. Suggestions?”

First, I don’t typically recommend quartz watches. If you are on a budget, I always suggest a good Seiko automatic and if you absolutely have to have something bulletproof and battery powered, I like to recommend a G-Shock.

That said, if you have to have a quartz… and you have a gun to my head, buy a Braun. At least from a design perspective, they are on point.
