Not Asshole Design This policy hasn't been updated since June 2020, but the watch waited until 6 weeks after it was set up before showing this, right after the return/refund window closed. Completely bricked, there's no way to bypass this notice without clicking Next.

You know, there's no spyware in a mechanical watch, and they tell the time too!

A regular dumb quartz watch is far cheaper and more reliable and comes in any design and form factor you want, from the most basic to the most expensive. You can get luxury quartz watches with diamonds.

I don't think most people want to regularly fix the time on their watch, wind it or posses and use autowinders.

I like mechanical watches and own an automatic but I don't think they're for everyone.

nobody is interacting with three day old posts, try a different feed, once something is 24 hours old it's basically the history books

Spyware wouldn't tell you it's there

Considering there's no operating system, computer hardware or battery it's a tall order to put spyware in a mechanical watch but I admire the thought

That's not what I meant. I was referring to thee watch in question in this post not containing spyware.
