I just ordered a Fortis Spacematic Pilot watch after this review.

God out of all of the colors you can choose for your title bar, it had to be fucking bright ass pink.

Why?

Nah. Not even Nick Shabazz makes watch videos that I'll bother to watch.

I know Nick Shabazz! Very Chicago esq accent, makes videos about EDC stuff. I bought a couple pens based on his reviews. Excellent EDC channel.

I really like his knife reviews, and the terrible knife of the month unboxing is something I always try to catch when streaming.
But I just don't get watches.

They're precision pieces of mechanical craftsmanship that somehow keep precise time with only gears, and without the god of electricity which everyone in the modern day worships. Having a piece of fine machinery on your wrist just feels nice, it's also the pinnacle of time keeping technology. Anyone can go put a little micro chip inside a watch, but a real wrist watch with gears inside of it takes so much precision and expertise to make. Knowing that you have a real piece of machinery that ticks and you can wind yourself feels so much more rewarding than the little battery powered plastic which everyone seems to think is so superior.

Really, the way that people monger for cheap things is just sad to me. People act so confused at the thought of anything with quality. I really think that this is a result of the new age, where utilitarian post modern architecture and disposable programmed-obsolescent technology has become the norm in everyone's life. Why buy a watch when you can guy buy a smart phone that you'll throw out in a couple years? Go buy some little casio wrist watch for 5 bucks, there's no difference, of course. All the pens, they don't need to be made of metal and bear any semblance of craftsmanship! "Hey, if I can buy it for really cheap and it looks like corporate mucus, who cares! It's not like I care about quality in anything I buy anymore "

It seems like everything seems so to be getting so much more advanced, but really it's just getting cheaper and more disposable.
