I never have owned a smart watch...yet. Maybe one of these days since it can do so many things

Bill D- Just wearing a watch that`s not a mini-computer is getting a bit unusual these days! I know a surprising number of people who simply don`t wear a watch; I gather they look to their phones for such info.
But it does sound like you need to replace it now and then...eh, gee, I don`t mean to sound critical/etc., just sayin` and wondering whether I`ve missed something. Maybe I just think in weirdly extreme timeframes...almost like "decades instead of years" I really will be disappointed if I have to have my Sub serviced again in this lifetime, and I plan to be here for a good long while yet.

Most people I know don’t wear a traditional watch either and yeah, rely on their phone for the time. Kinda like I assume if this were 100+ years ago they’d be relying on a pocket watch.

I’m not a fan of the smart watch’s ability to know one’s location either.

Heh heh, a century from now I doubt those smart[devices] will work as well as my great-grandfather`s pocket watch still does [INSERT usual Disposable Culture Mindset rant HERE]
And gee, a hundred years ago things were transitioning to those newfangled wris````ches!
Hey, come to think of it, I don`t see nurses wearing those upside-down pendant watches these days.
Ah, see..that`s the kind of thing I wouldn`t have thought of! Heh heh, it probably sounds like I live some wacky kind of Life in the Bubble these days
Gee, I`ve never sent, nor received (at least not that I actually looked at before deleting) a text via a phone. "Write me a letter!" after getting off my lawn
You do e mail though...

Yeah, sigh...concession to the times.
Sigh#2, the Art of the Letter is dying off, and IMO it`s contributing to the Dumbing Down of the Culture. Consider the thought it takes to write a *perfectly* worded (let alone spelled) missive, pages long, in INK, with zero errors/edits. And people did that routinely as a matter of course for centuries. Busy people, who didn`t have electricity doing their chores for them. Boggles the mind...
Last time I was writing one in a public place a youngish person actually did the wide-eyed "OMG, are you writing an actual *letter*?!?" thing, you`d have thought I was weaving my own cloth the way she was about it. Gee, it was at a writing desk in the Correspondence Room of a resort where people had done it since forever too...why`d she think they have stationary there?!?
My hand writing is too illegible to write a letter. The recipient would be staring at it trying to make out the words. Sometimes I do too.

The Seiko has arrived!
I must admit, I was a little surprised by the packaging for a $75 watch. I guess it just goes to show how much Seiko cares about everything they make, from the $75 Seiko 5`s to the $30k Grand Seiko`s.
I am not a fan of the band that came with it but I have some NATO`s arriving today.

Seems like a great all around watch especially for the price!
What tool do you use for band removal? I only have a pencil-sized one with a tiny fork at the end.
