I guess he got ahead of himself there. As long as the watch is not programmable with alarms or internet connected even, I don't see why the difference between mechanical or digital would matter.
I remember 30 years ago we would go camping with kids and not using watches was a thing. For the kids out there: mobile phones were not invented yet.
I just prefer a mechanical watch. More analog soul.
I've got a kinetic watch. It's lasted decades.
Thanks, I appreciate your spirit. I am looking into it. I feel it would be good if there were some technically superior but aesthetically basic options.
Seiko makes great stuff. Or Casio if you want to go digital.
Even quartz watches tell time mechanically. Early quartz watches you could hear. Then they bumped the frequency high enough that only bats can hear it.
