This is something beautiful that I have experienced also with a refrigerator.

My dear Mother bought that refrigerator years before she gave birth to me.

I finally shut the refrigerator down when it had run flawlessly for 60 years, simply because the factory warned in the manual that you have to replace certain parts in an absolute manner even when the fridge still runs.

Built like a tank

That was the motto of factories in that age. The robustness of your watch proves it also

Watches on this level are designed and manufactured to work for decades and decades. It's not uncommon for watches like this to just work 40 years provided that you sent them to an expert watch maker to maintain them

🆕 blog! “Why don't smart watches use USB-C to recharge?”

It looks like the new Google's Pixel 4 watch comes with yet another incompatible change in charging technology. This is a ridiculous situation.

I really like the clear and simple face on my new watch, but the rubbery strap is letting the team down. Anyone got any suggestions for materials or colours that might go well? I was thinking maybe a NATO style strap but maybe that's too utilitarian for this? It's not like it's fancy though. A strong colour could new fun.

I'm just thinking out loud here but I'd be interested in your thoughts as well.
