My first non-smart watch that's more than $20. I picked it up from Retro Watch Guy and have been really impressed with the simplicity of a manual, analog watch.

The design mimicks old parking meters and there's a continuous 60 minute timer that you can reset with the top button.

That's a big jump from a smart watch to this, hope it will serve you long! Unfortunately, as much as I like vintage watches, I don't buy them anymore. Unless you know an old school watchmaker to repair them - and assuming they are able to find the parts - those watches only work until they don't.
