I am perfectly good with film instead of analog. But either way as long as we know what we mean.
We gave this pocket watch to my Daughter for Christmas and she loves it. All is not lost with the millennials
That's a pretty watch - photogenic. I prefer a watch with a black face, white hands (preferably wide) and no day-date. Because of training since grammar school, as soon as I look at it I instantly know the time, and how much time I have until an appointment because of an instantaneous evaluation of how long it takes for the big hand to go from here to there, That's not how much time as "33 minutes." It's how much time as "sensed."
I do not like day/day, because they are a pain to reset on a monthly basis, oh wait, not this month, oh wait, I forgot to do it on the first two months back so the date is off by a day, or is it three days? Do I set it ahead or back? Wait, where is the paper calendar so I know what date to set. Oops! I pulled the stem too far and changed the day of the week so I have to reset that. Oops! I lost track of how many times I rotated the stem. Is the watch in AM or PM? Will the day and date change at midnight or noon?? AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
