Hey Lemmy! 👋

I've never been able to stand the feeling of wearing a wrist watch for very long. But I figured hey, maybe I just haven't found the right one yet! So I'm here to ask, what's the most comfortable watch to you guys?

For me it was weight that was a problem for a long time. I wore the 1st watch I bought, an '85 Commodore with dial and display for ages. When I wanted something new again, I went into the store and told them that I wanted something just as light. I went out with a Pulsar titanium model that was 2 gram heavier, but it was close enough.

In '12 I discovered it wasn't weight, but the electronics that was the main cause of issues. Now I wear mechanical watches, with a Seiko 5 as daily and several automatics and manual winders as extra for when I feel like wearing something else.

Some have metal bands, some leather. I prefer metal in summer, leather in winter.
