The PineTime is still an electronic gadget that you won't use for very long.

My watch takes 15 seconds to rewind each day, and 5 seconds to be time adjusted by one minute twice a week. Service is every 5 years, the last one cost me 88 €. It gets more valuable each year, and I plan to bequeath it to my son in a (hopefully) very distant future.

To each his own, I guess.



Rewind? As in a non-automatic mechanical?

Admittedly, all the mechanical watch issues I've read tend to be pertaining to the automatic variety.


Yes, it's manual. I have no experience with automatic ones.

Admittedly, it is a rather pricey model (Omega Speedmaster). I bought it second hand for 1500 € a few years ago. Unfortunately, prices have since skyrocketed for many emblematic watches like this one.
