I suppose it had to happen... 😁 In my defence, I always wanted a Mickey Mouse watch and it was free. Well it needed a battery.
The strap colour is best described as cider scutter brown, especially under fluorescent lights. In daylight it's just brown. It will be deleted. The oul magnet thing works very well as a strap though.
So it needed a battery and well that operation shows just how throwaway these are compared to proper watches, even proper quartz watches. They're designed to be taken apart and repaired(unless it's a Swatch). This is as tight as a Cavanman's wallet. Designed to be irrepairable. But I got it apart and back together. Cursing throughout.
It's a solid feeling yoke in the hand, has a bit of "Quality Feel(tm)" weight to it. Given the price of a Moonswatch is about the same as an entry level Apple watch it's twenty times the device. The strap/bracelet attachment is a clever and simple design, the crown has a nice feel to it and navigating it is fool proof. Same for setup. I didn't set up the heart monitor as I'd likely go full hypochondriac, the thing would beep to tell me there's a text and I'd then have a heart attack from the shock, while it told me I was having a heart attack and rinse and repeat until my pants were the colour of the strap.
The new battery lasts about 48 hours depending on use. It'll remain a novelty tbh. The flick wrist to see the time "works" half the time, having to charge it every day or so a pain and as an addition to a phone? Well I have a phone in my pocket and a proper watch on my wrist so.. If you were into your fitness and that I could see the appeal. Even has a "mindfulness" app. Which I immediately screamed at. I'm way too Type A for that nonsense. 😂 I can see the appeal for techie folks, especially those who wouldn't otherwise wear a watch. I tried double wristing, but just looked at my proper watch anyway.
Oh it's a version 4 with GPS and sim and lord knows what else.
Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

Picked up my first Cartier yesterday .I had tried on the tank earlier in the year but it felt too small and delicate .Then tried on the blue dial santos last month which was nice but for me the iconic Cartier is the white dial with black Roman numerals .

Well I can say your granny tired of the ballgag and dark car parks has gone back to a peck on the cheek for your granda. 😁 Normal service resumes. Well, when I say normal...
1940 Alpina KM as issued to the German Kreigsmarine.
The novelty of the Apple watch wore off very quickly. It's a great gadget and good for what it is and is very nicely bolted together, especially for the price point, but beyond that and for me, no. Though even in its brief time on my wrist it did get noticed and asked about. That very rarely happens with my proper watches.
