Whow!
A bit of a stretch to say the least Cpt, but I am going to use you argument to explain to my wife why I ordered the new 5204, “Just buying another mechanical wind watch to contribute my fair share to fighting climate change, dear.” Wish me luck…
Climate/environment - horology
I was thinking, with COP 26 in my back yard, surely by having a mechanical watch, one is avoiding throwaway technology and this is better for all concerned? A Rolex may last 50 to 100 years, while an Apple Watch 5 years? Quartz watches perhaps a little lo...
Modern electronic devices are only throwaway
Because the manufacturers do not support repair. If spare parts and schematics were made available, there is no reason a phone, laptop, or Apple Watch couldn’t last 15 years imo. Mechanical watches without service would also start to fail.
Rolex's update cycle does indeed have a much lower frequency than Apple's or Samsung's
But I'm sure they would absolutely love for customers to buy a new one every year... or at least try 😂
We all need to consider the future …
The climate conference needs to deliver positive results, but as individuals we also need to take responsibility and carefully consider what we buy and how we discard things. Longer life cycles for products are important, as is how they are powered. I see...

Yes indeed….
A Rolex will last over 50 years. Ask me how I know. LOL My AK. With me (flawlessly) since new in 1968. All the best. HEO  Bhhh
Sure but as probably the smallest electronic everyday accessory it's a drop in the bucket.
Every little bit counts and all but it would probably take thousands of apple watches to match the eco footprint of a Tesla and it probably takes more energy to make the Bitcoin equivalent value of the watch than the watch itself. Tech will keep getting b...
In this day and age where most people have a phone.....
The argument can go as no one really needs an additional timepiece especially a smart watch however, they keep adding functions that make most peoples life easier such as notifications of arriving messages , emails, newsflash etc not to mention the "healt...
