Got a new watch from my wife for Christmas. It's made from ammo crates. The metal to make the band and case with wood from them inlayed.

That's what they claim. They make others out of whiskey barrels and wine barrels. It's not like any others I have and I like the contrast of wood and metal.

I bought the wife and I an upgraded/updated smartwatch. I got the Amazfit T-Rex 3 and I got her the Amazfit Balance. We had our other Amazfit watches for a few years now and they've been great. Both were missing some features we wanted that these new ones had, so I went ahead and got us each one.

Both have AI and so far it's been really great. It picks up and dictates what you want to say in a text correctly 99.9% of the time. I've been shocked.

Both have GPS and you can download maps to them.

The screens are great and the OS is smooth and quick.

So I finally had a Citizen go down. My first. The one my wife gave me about 18 years ago has stopped working. I'm sure the capacitor went out. Planning to send it to them and let them get it running.

Why bother? It owes you nothing after 18 years. Give it a decent burial. Take a lowly watch and adopt it.

It isn't anything crazy to replace. It is really do different than adding a fresh battery. The watch itself is in great shape, so I see no reason to retire it. Plus, like I said, my wife gave it to me. It was the first nice thing she bought me, and it means a lot to me.

She bought you a watch instead of a motorcycle?

I have a seiko watch like that. Had it for around 25 years. It has sentimental value.

She knows better to buy me a vehicle.

She is great though. I have come home twice on a new bike. She has never said a thing about it. She has never given me issues with my hobbies. She has bought me a few guns.

Flux capacitors can get expensive...
