    I was never drawn to blue-faced watches, nor the color teal. I saw this pic on IG and instantly fell totally in love with this set up.

      @Autorotate same story when I fell in love with this watch almost 10 years ago. Since the strap broke I fell into the smart-watch trap, but lately I've been wanting to reject modernity and return to tradition..

        @T4920 LOL! I have and Apple Watch gathering dust. Wore it for about a week. I think I’d rather wear a sun dial… or nothing at all!

          @Autorotate there are certainly wearable sundial options out there - for example this from Nomos. I have been tempted but I’ve never bitten.

            @Autorotate I'm just fascinated by the health and fitness insights.

            My friend's life was also potentially saved by his Garmin watch recently, it identified Atrial Fibrillation a told him to seek a cardiologist immediately!

                Glad you kept that thing, it's sick!

                I had two of them, managed to sell one. I was def not trying to get rid of both. It’s pretty cool.

                    This was my first mechanical watch and I‘ve taken this thing just about everywhere, still love it! Pretty darn tough too!

                    Pic is when it was new, need to get a current one with the rubber strap…

                                    @Nik Nice upgrade. I have the 955 and although I love the screen on the 965, I can't justify an upgrade. Enjoy it!

                                        @Nik if you don’t mind had some time with the watch. Could you let me know about battery life (GPS use and daily wear, given you wear it 24/7) and screen visibility in sunlight?

                                          Screen visibility is fantastic. I think the old OLED issues have been fixed. Battery life so far is as expected, with 23 days estimated. But I'll let you know in a week how it goes. I've currently got the display as always on.
