So these are my daily drivers. What I wear to work.

Sterling Silver. I might decide to do white gold someday but like these so far. I don't buy plated jewelry.

If I could get away with it, I would probably do two on each hand. Maybe I will do more than 1 on each finger when I am outside of work and/or raving.

I am getting a bracelet for my birthday. Also silver. I don't care for gold.

nice colour coordination. you even matched it with your skin (j/k j/k).

however i hope you are not pairing several thousand dollar timepieces with chinos from the GAP.

I'm in the market for a smart watch. Android platform. Preferably with offline GPS (ability to download maps/routes) and something that will give me yardages on the golf course.

Do any of you 5 here have any recommendations?

the year is 2035 and biometrics watches have been perfected. a man slumps over from a heart attack in a trump hypermarket chain store. before negotiating with the insurance company's AI for an ambulance deployment (it was touch-and-go), the device processes a coupon redemption for tums so it can forward his current aisle location and updated store circulation pattern to partner businesses.

dead for thirty-five minutes before the paramedics show up, his stream playlist has gone silent. there, on his screen in white-upon-black:

What phone do you have? Samsung then go for the Samsung watch. Google Pixel? Go for Pixel Watch.

Smartwatches have pretty much reached the apex of functionality.

S22 Ultra. I was thinking about a Garmin bc I've heard good things from one of the guys I play golf with, but his recommendation was also $1400, and I don't want to pay that much for an ugly electronics device on my wrist. I'd like be under $600 if it's possible.

Just get the Samsung Ultra and replace the band with a metal or leather one.

There isn't a single smartwatch that will work as well with your phone as an official Samsung one. The thing is made to interface with your device.

i remember golf once being described to me as a way to get out, walk around in the nice (obsessively-manicured) countryside, and breathe fresh air. now people are using gps to minmax their game.

the greatest generation would be shaking their heads.

you should see the upscale and tony neighbourhoods of seoul. half the retail space south of the river in gangnam is golf apparel and accessories. it is so graspingly aspirational.

most of these sports started out as diversions for landed gentry, as a continuation of gentlemanly outdoor pursuits like grouse shooting. amateur in the strictest and most classical sense of the word. since the socially self-conscious middle-classes took them up, they became part of that vast nexus of consumer behaviour known as 'leisure activities'. the MBA and SME class with their mock-tudor 'club houses'. shudder.
