        Tell the time, the date, and act as a stop watch according to the manufacturers website. My $250 watch does all that and it looks better.

        I can totally understand buying a nice/expensive watch, they look nice, the feel nice, they’re accurate, they can do cool stuff. I don’t understand buying a watch that costs more than most cars cost, especially if it only does the most basic watch features.

          you would understand it, if only you had millions of dollars to waste and zero ethical things to do with the money!

          The funny thing is, a cheap quartz crystal based clock is more accurate than the best mechanical clock

          Fancy clocks being more accurate than cheap clocks is literally just marketing.
