a reply to: nepatitan

Fair enough.

a reply to: hopenotfeariswhatweneed

I'm not talkign about buying one while the world is burning. As in prepping

maybe im odd but ive never understood the need for watches. there are clocks everywhere in the modern age and i never find myself needing to find a clock to figure out what time it is. if SHTF i dont see a reasonw why knowing the time is helpful at all either. not like your gonna need to keep that dentist appointment or pickup your kid from preschool at 2:15. maybe its just me or a personality thing from person to person.

Planet of the Clocks.
I can tell the time of day within a few minutes by the position of the Sun.
After sundown it is beer-thirty.

there are plenty of people that feel the same way as yourself. I like watches, I like being able to time things, give estimates as to elapsed time for something I'm doing. Also, my profession we can not have any electronics that transmit/recieve radio signals.
So for me a watch is a must on a daily basis.
But I do understand how there are people that don't see a need for them especially when we all have cellphones at arms reach.

I have a really nice analog wind up, it's a beautiful Stauer watch with a leather strap.

It looks like this, but the Womens version.

yes I am, I don't want to spend $100 plus on something that will loose an hour over one year.

Got them hesitation shoes.

I can honestly say that in a shtf environment the time would be the least of my concerns.

You better make it somewhat a concern if you plan to plan and communicate with fellow planners.

That's all well and good, what if whomever it is I am communicating with loses their watch?

Far simpler to do what people did before time pieces were invented.

Stars or the Sun? Can you make a sun dial on overcast days or read the stars under city lights? If it's shtf, there will probably be a lot of fires so the sky might be smogged too.

I suppose that would work in a pinch. Unless something needs to be done at a specific time. lol.

Time, that is a man made construct. It's design is to split our slave hours up and keep us productive .

8 hours work, 8 hours sleep and 8 hours of whatever, I'm not sure time has much of a purpose beyond that.

Time has come. Today.
