         | Can confirm. I wore an Apple every day since 5 months before it
         | was on sale (as a developer at Apple). I wore it (every single
         | year model) for 10 years.

         | This year, I hit a significant integer change in age and
         | decided to start dressing better. I went a bit nuts buying
         | Japanese and Swiss watches and learning all about them as
         | engineering and art pieces. It's basically like learning about
         | cars all over again. Super fun.
         | 
         | I even repaired a broken Rolex with a set of Swiss watchmaking
         | tools from Amazon and instructions from ChatGPT, Gemini, and
         | Youtube.
         | 
         | I also still bought the Apple Watch Ultra 3 because while mech
         | is fantastic and fun, I can't deny that SMS via Satellite in
         | the backcountry on a hike is an amazing feature.
