Blackwings and Watches

[brewski]

My first Rolex is special to me also and it's one of my favorite watches... Wearing it today, and I'm also driving my wife's V-LYRIQ..

Those Lyriq's look so good. Every time I see one I think to myself "thats a great looking car". I wish Cadillac would make a hot hatch blackwing with those lines. Maybe they will and it will be why the CT4 is being discontinued.

I finally remembered to take the watch photo. It’s been a few weeks since I adjusted the time, looks like it’s drifted a minute.

Looks Zenith to me. Beautiful!

This thing is CrAZy quick, quicker than our Blackwings, don't roast me because it's just a fact..... Quicker, not faster.... 0-60 It can eat a Blackwing

Speaking of watches, I picked up a new Pebble a few months ago. Yes, the original smart watch is back--better than ever. Probably not in the same price range as many other watches here, at $149 plus shipping, but it's the perfect watch for tech nerds!

Here's the obligatory picture in my 5BW. Nice, clean presentation of month, day, hour, minute, and second in this watch face ... if you can read binary, obviously.

Can it be translated to Klingon?

There’s a new one?! The Pebble is underrated for sure. In relation to the Apple Watch I think of it as the equivalent of the Palm Pilot to the iPhone …

I like how one of their marketing pitches is "hackable".

Do you actually read binary well enough that you immediately register your numbers or do you have to do a quick tally in your head each time? Knowing your format I can read it, but at the same time I have to head math/counting to read it and it is not quick.

Depends on the number. Sometimes you have to think about it for a little bit for the higher numbers. For example, anything staring with 11xxx you have to had 48 to a number you already know, or 10xxx you have to add 32. Other than that it's pretty quick.

Have you had it that way for a while? I'd imagine you'd get used to the higher numbers once you've run it for a long time.
I used to have a reverse clock and took no time to read once I got used to it (much simpler than bit clock). Funny part was after a while it started making me misread normal analog clocks

I change watch faces periodically so it's not instant. When it does become instant, I change it up. There are also other watch faces that make you think in other ways, various geometric designs.
