  • Yay! Someone hit on one of my biggest pet peeves, so I get to talk about it.

    • Divers are not the most versatile watch out there.
    • There’s no reason to even buy a watch that is more than 100m water resistant unless you actually snorkel or dive.
    • Jody from Just One More Watch believes that divers are the most versatile watch and has said something along the lines that you don’t have to be a diver to wear a dive watch just like most people who wear aviation watches probably aren’t pilots. IMHO, watches should say something about you, your personality, and your interests. I want an aviation watch or two because I love aviation (even though I’m not a pilot). Are people that wear divers fans of diving even if they aren’t divers themselves? I’m going to guess there are far fewer fans of diving wear divers than fans of aviation wearing aviation watches.

  • Just a couple of quick things (not downvoting or trying to start anything).

    • Jody’s channel focuses on watches that are $500 or under (even he’s said this before). Does he occasionally show or review watches that are more than $500? Yes. Does he own watches more than $500? Yes. But, the vast majority of affordable watches that’ll allow him to continue making enough videos to be a professional YouTuber are going to be Chinese… and they are very easily available on AliExpress.
    • Second point and maybe a hit take, his first watch from his own watch brand is horrible IMHO. He feels divers are the end all, be all of versatile watches. They simply aren’t (again, IMHO). I honestly think a GADA watch would have been a better idea for his first watch.





  • Not at all. I have had my original Switch since 2017, and I haven’t upgraded to the OLED version. It’s joycons both have drift problems and small cracks in the top and bottom area that can be a minor annoyance, but it’s still more than enough for my portable gaming wants.

    Even if each of the components in the Deck got a minor bump in performance, the Deck I have right now is perfect for me. It does everything I want it to as I upgraded the SSD to 1TB and have a 512GB microSD card as well, and I’m very happy to be able to play games I wouldn’t be able to play elsewhere.
