If we’re doing watches today, here’s what I’m rocking lately.

I stopped using my Garmin smartwatch because they finally fell into the enshittification trap and recently tried adding AI slop and a subscription scheme into their watch app. That’s a big old nope from me, dawg.

Image I’m rocking a $5 Ali watch with a nice rainbow watch band.

  Nice. It is astounding what you can get for just a couple of bucks, and even more astounding that they genuinely work.

    I would have bought something from a real brand but a red watch that matched the band at all was either this or like $10k, no in between it seemed.

I’m not really a watch person, but that one looks totally great!

  It’s also approachably yet suspiciously cheap. I think I paid $20 for this close to 15 years ago, and Sinobi is apparently still at it making mechanical watches in the $30 range.
  
  This one does two things: Tells you the time, and does so while not needing batteries.

    All of those seem to be quartz and not mechanical.

    I just took a look. They do still make quite a few mechanicals but they have indeed shot up in price. $80-90 nowadays, it seems.
    
    My old one is definitely mechanical. I wind it up every morning.
