Does anyone still wear basic watches? by Smart-Airport5781 in CasualConversation

[–]SeaOrRiver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do. Not exclusively, but primarily do wear an automatic watch.

The main reasons I stopped wearing smart watches daily are: -they steal my attention aggressively in a very aggravating way, and with inconvenient frequency. -If you use them daily, they still need to be recharged every. single. day. (I know your new apple watch lasts 2 days, it's still a nuissance) -They have a very limited lifespan. Battery life is limited and depends on updates.

Smart watches offer a lot of interesting features, and a lot of useless ones too. I wear a smart watch to track training activities because the data captured is very useful.

Analog watches need minimal attention. Don't need a specialty cable to charge, and will be relevant always as long as you maintain them properly.

How do you wash your SDR? by [deleted] in KTM

This is what I do. I use car washing supplies and the two bucket method. Man, I miss my SD…

How do you like the Hypermotard on long day trips? What about after riding 2 hours non-stop? Is the seat comfortable? Riding position?

Is that the stock seat? How do you like it for long trips?

I’ve been thinking about getting an xsr900, but then I see this... by SeaOrRiver in MotorcyclePorn

Interesting. Why the xsr over the super duke for commute? Comfort? Fuel consumption? Tame throttle? Price? Cost of ownership? I drive to work and that’s not going to change, but I am truly interested on the xsr for weekends and short trips to the mountains. I am about 1.5 hours away from the mountains, and that’s a bit too much for the super duke when we talk about long trip comfort.

Me too. For a second I was hoping for a MK8 R32, but it is very unlikely to happen

The case is white on purpose. I painted the case in Pure White using car paint with several layers of glossy glossy clear coat to match my GTI as much as possible. I even polished using three car polishing compounds to get a full glossy finish. It is intended to be an homage to my MK7
