Why do people still use this overpriced, outdated technology? It's like using an old dial phone in this day and age.

It's a status display obviously. Now delete your stupid thread.
>I have so much status because I made a dumb purchase
Okay.
>Nothing wrong with moving parts
What?
what?
>I have so much status because I made a dumb purchase
I mean, its all the same with iphones, expensive sport cars when you're not a racer, expensive clothes from expensive brands like gucci, how come you've never noticed this before?
>>I have so much status because I made a dumb purchase
This, but unironically. Rich people get to buy stupid shit, because its not their yearly salary like it is for your mom and dad. You'll understand when youre older
>>I have so much status because I made a dumb purchase
>Okay.
That is exactly what brand purchasing is, yes.
>>I have so much status because I made a dumb purchase
>Okay.
Why is this so complicated for you to understand? The reason it's a status symbol is because it shows to normal people "look how rich and powerful I am, that I can waste money on frivolous shit like this". It's the same reason why Bezos wears shirts that cost $1k, why Tate insists on driving sports cars, or why Trump shits in golden toilets.
So of course, there are entire industries that capitalize on this, because poor idiots will spend copious amounts of money to have the appearance of being richer than they really are.
It's more than just owning a watch, it's essentially wearing a flag that says "I am better than you". When Tate constantly asks people "how many Bugattis do you own?", it isn't because there's an inherent logical reason to, it's to put down the other, and reinforce the fact that he belongs to a tribe which has, compared to a tribe which hasn't. For the same reason, kids make fun of other kids on school playgrounds for not having iPhones, or wearing cheap shoes.
You're not a genius just because you see through the facade. Of course a $30 bag on Amazon is just as good and will last as long as a Gucci or Luis Vitton bag. But you must also take into account the social and emotional element. Humans are animals to begin with, we're not all creatures of reason.
I don't know why I bothered to type up all of this...
>Moving parts
nothing wrong with that
>Extremely inaccurate compared to printed circuitry
doesn't matter for everyday use
>Lacks basic features
watch basic feature is to tell time, and it does exactly that
>Convoluted way to display the time due to the limitations of not having a screen
bait argument
>Makes annoying ticking sound
it doesn't
Why do morons still do bait threads?
>smart watches were a mistake
Can't exactly show off my wiener cage in public, so a watch will have to do
does a wiener have moving parts? it seems like that question would lead to a more fruitful/interesting discussion
I guess not? It's like a sponge that gets bigger when blood goes to it, but it's not like a muscle or anything.
doesnt need to be plugged in
charged by wiggling
Okay zoomer
>Convoluted way to display the time due to the limitations of not having a screen

>Makes annoying ticking sound
this is only really true for Quartz watches which is not what you posted.
looks good holds value and doesn't require electricity. It's the complete opposite of your homosexual apple watch
>extremely inaccurate
wrong
>lacks basic features
tells the time and day
>makes annoying ticking sound
smartwatches make even louder, more obnoxious sounds
>Why do people still use this overpriced, outdated technology
quite simple. a regular watch lasts up to a year on a single battery. a smart watch lasts maybe half a day
>smartwatches make even louder, more obnoxious sounds
my smartwatch has never made a sound, what are you talking about
that image got a pretty good chuckle out of me.
On the plus side, they are not gay disposable globohomosexual gadgets that spy on you.
Mechanical watches can be serviced using nothing but pre-industrial technology (at least in theory), which is what makes them appealing to me.
Still, if we are to be completely honest, digital watches are better for all practical purposes. I like different kinds of watches for different reasons.
why does he have it on upside down?
>Why do people still use this overpriced, outdated technology?
It's ~~*jew*~~elry designed to scam people with more money than sense
>smartwatch lasts 1 year and dies or battery capacity drops and can't be used all day
>analog or simple digital watch lasts 50+ years
I wonder why indeed
for me, it's the Timex Command Urban
>Moving parts
Your body has moving parts and no circuitry, fricking have a nice day, you overcomplicated, inaccurate, physical piece of shit
Because I (they) want to fit in. The longer I suffer though life, the less I understand about it. How these Black folk survive, and how the system seems to somewhat function through their stupidity.
Watches are israeliteelry for men these days.
I have almost 100 watches and almost all of them are quartz digital, but I also have some quartz analog ones. Mostly Casio, a couple of Timex, and some Swatches.
Initially, I didn't want to add any analog watches to my collection, but then I started to grow fond of them, so I've bought some.
There is a mental difference when reading the time from an analog dial vs a digital display. While the digital display tells you the exact time at a glance, it does not really help you mentally and quantitatively position the hour within the day, the minutes within the hour, or the seconds within the minute.
I forgot to add that I will probably never buy any mechanical watch. They are generally less accurate than quartz ones, unless you go for really high end chronometers. They require periodic maintenance which is costly - imagine doing that every 2-5 years for 100 watches.
I was die-hard quartz fan, now I wear a mechanical. Mine right now is about 10 seconds slow, I set it a month ago. Every 6 months I have to adjust it for DST anyway, so at worst it's a minute out.
Maintenance costs? It's a 30 dollar movement. If it starts underperforming in a decade, I'll buy another one and swap it out in 5 minutes.
The pros of mechanical is that it's way fricking easier to find what you want. My watch is full custom. The negative of mechanical is that they're bulkier, a similar quartz watch I have is like 8mm thick, my current one is 10.5mm. But that watch hasn't been made for 40 years and there is no sign of anyone else making anything like it again any time soon, because the market is still dinnerplate dogshit instead of 36mm divers.
Depending on the person, it's either purely a fashion accessory, or a mix of fashion accessory and autistic obsession with small mechanical things. Anyone who says they're interested in watches beyond that is a liar.

What time is this displaying?
>you must be 21 years of age or older to order
To buy a fricking watch?
Americans be like.
>not fricking another dude
Unrealistic, immersion breaking
Do you go out of your way to sound like an out-of-touch tech-obsessed dweeb or is this how you think day-to-day?
You're not wrong, but they look cool so your arguments are invalid.
it's fashion and why watch threads have been moved off of IQfy and relegated to IQfy
>doesnt need a battery
>better ones self- wind as you wear em
>actual status symbol
you must be a zoomie
This is better than 99% of "luxury" overpriced bling watches for Black folk
its mf ing ugly
only a total nerd would wear this
U can be cool and a chad ONLY if u wear what u like and dont give a shit what other ppl think
>only a total nerd
Ur on IQfy moron, go back to IQfy or other homosexual board. The cheapest quartz watch has more features and is more accurate than any bling mechanical watch, no matter the price. Game over, ur boomer bling is worthless lmao. Its same as having a luxury horse to ride in a city where there are cars.
it's israeliteelry, not technology.
it's a woman thing.
