It's interesting that people used to be like holy shit that person has a Rolex, it's like $500!! Now people working at McDonald's have a $800 Apple watch. Wild.

500!? Don't Rolex watches start at about 20x that? The cheapest price I saw was $10,200.

That's if I'm reading the info on this site correctly. But I think they're stupid and wasteful, and also don't wear a watch! If I had one, I'd sell it to put a down-payment on a home...

I like watches. I went to a smartwatch when the Pebble Time Steel came out - now on a Pixel watch - but I'd really prefer one of those Garmin watches with long-ass battery life.

My PTS is nearing its end. I have a PTHR on a shelf... will miss them.
