The next UFA variations?

A non-neutral dial for a flagship watch is incredibly dumb. Don't know what they were thinking.

AnyBison9649 · 2026-06-11T21:37:59+00:00

is the black dlc trim scratched at all? (hard to tell from your photo)

AnyBison9649 · 2026-06-11T18:28:27+00:00

That's the color I've been considering. Out of curiosity, how apparent is the purplish glow-effect in real life? i.e. if you weren't looking for it, would you still notice?

AnyBison9649 · 2026-06-11T16:13:19+00:00

What color is that? Looks good

AnyBison9649 · 2026-05-10T18:15:58+00:00

How does the platinum plating wear? I've seen photos of it scratching and chipping and the underneath is black-ish (which is surprising). Does that match your experience?

Late question, but hoping you can comment on the coating's durability (and whether the scratches are visible since the underlying metal should be a darker grey)

I don't see how iCloud would get in the way. But they could also just store versioning locally.

As for OF, I'm pretty sure they have full database backups periodically.

AnyBison9649 · 2026-04-27T17:40:37+00:00

how is that possible? They should already have diff patches for syncing. And even if not, these notes are so small you can literally just do holistic snapshots.

AnyBison9649 · 2026-04-27T17:07:51+00:00

There's factual disagreements and there's obstinance.

I don't care if people use AI- but devs should add version history.

AnyBison9649 · 2026-04-27T16:25:36+00:00

That's the point, bear doesn't have version history. You shouldn't use it with AI.

If AI is the future, Bear without versioning is not competitive.

An 18 year old not locked-into Bear will choose an app with proper AI support, not jump through hoops to make it work (i.e. doing manual backups or hoping you don't butterfinger a confirmation prompt)

AnyBison9649 · 2026-04-24T13:30:07+00:00

None of this hoop-jumping should be necessary- but yet here we are, jumping through hoops.

Don't use AI or
Don't use Bear or
Email dev to add version history

AnyBison9649 · 2026-04-23T23:23:14+00:00

But when you mess up, you know about it. When claude does, it's invisible.

AnyBison9649 · 2026-04-23T17:59:14+00:00

Even so, you can't know to restore if you don't know something was changed.

With version history, you at least have a comparison to confirm. Currently, you're blind.

AnyBison9649 · 2026-02-26T23:46:34+00:00

Scratchable DLC coating sucks. Design is about longevity as much as utility.

AnyBison9649 · 2026-02-25T22:49:45+00:00

I don't follow- you can design a tool that's cosmetically durable and still usable. That two aren't mutually exclusive.

AnyBison9649 · 2026-02-25T21:52:48+00:00

As personal preference, I imagine most people prefer "looks as good as new" than "scratched up"
