For all of the years I worked as a veterinary technician, an analog watch was the most essential item I put on, in the morning. I used it to calculate an animal's cardiac and respiratory rates. Those watches were part of me. I'd try to leave it off when I was on vacation but I kept glancing at my arm, throughout the day. I never transitioned to a smart watch. I bet there are people who can't tell time on an analog watch, nowdays. Yours is a nice selection of watches and I enjoyed seeing them. I also like seeing your porch. More videos from there would be appreciated. How's the garden doing?
Thanks Teresa. We had a ton of blueberries and blueberries this year but the rest just did so so. I’m sure you’re right about a new generation unable to read an analog watch. The world is changing fast.
Great Video! I have had budget watches over the years and they always break of the battery dies - so I gave up and bought a Citizen Ecodrive. Not so expensive at the time about £120. It's lasted about 5 years so far... hopefully will go on fo longer
Thanks for the info. I wish the Timex analogs had screw down crowns. I like my Expedition and Rugged Expedition but sometimes when I put my hand in my pocket and pull it out the crown gets caught and pulled out which stops the watch so I end up with this "nervous tick" of constantly checking the crown to make sure it's fully pushed in.
Well you got me to buy the Timex Expedition and it has been my edc ever since December 23. Never expected it to be so robust. I also have a Seiko 5S automatic. Good one too for edc. As for analogue time tellers; it’s what I (you to) started with in school. I think that’s why it’s more appealing and meaning
I had never thought about it but I definitely prefer analog to digital. The closest thing to a digital watch I own is the G-Shock GA2100 which is an Ani-Digi display. It's hard to pin down a favorite in my watch collection but I think it would be the Hamilton Khaki King if I had to choose. It's nice enough and low key enough to wear in a business setting but it's also still a field watch so works well with any outdoor use and it's pretty tough so I'm not particularly concerned about wearing it anywhere.
@@SigogglinJack I have enjoyed it quite a bit over the years. I like the day/date at 12 on the Khaki King and the polished bezel making it at least a little dressy but the regular khaki field has twice the water resistance and a bead blasted finish that's undeniably utilitarian so you can't go wrong either way.
Love that Casio a-158 with gold-ish dial! These are all very cool watches. You’re right, there is something about analog watches that a digital, despite the cool functions, cannot give. So it’s nice to have a bit of both😂! Thanks for this video!
Time seems more physical with analog. You can relate to the past, present, and future better with analog. This video made me want to collect Timex and Casios. Something very classic about both.
I Love my timex and would be my fav but I’ve been using a Garmin Tactical for work recently manly for its basic smart features they mean I don’t need to get my phone out on a building site if i get a text :) That said on a weekend I love going to one of my Timex

I’ve had my eye on those. Good looking watch. Thanks for watching!

I’ll have to check out the Seiko 5s. Thanks for watching brother!

The Hamilton Khaki is my grail watch. I might have to gift myself one when I retire. Thanks for watching buddy!

Thanks my friend!
Couldn’t agree more. Analog just orients us in a way that is not possible with digital.
Definitely. Thanks brother!

Awesome, thanks for watching brother!
I love Timex! My company gave me a Rolex for 30 years…the Timex keeps better time…I’m wearing a Timex today
I hope you’re enjoying retirement, I’m marking off the days. Thanks buddy
