Times and styles change.
Now I wear a Garmin Fenix 99% of the time.
Email, text, gps, and can keep track of my dogs when afield.

I wear nicer watches when the situation warrants, but for me, it’s more a sentimental thing.
I wear an automatic watch when on a site because it was my dad’s. I wear a conductor’s watch when riding trains, because my wife’s grandfather was an engineer on the Ann Arbor line. Etc.

When abroad, every crook knows what an American wearing a Rolex looks like.

Out there doing it best I can.
