·So.. as a child, I didn't know mechanical watches exist.. I thought they were all powered by batteries. Didn't know what Quartz was either.. I thought it was a brand. 😁
Also, I didn't know crap about brands(save for Casio/Omega/Rolex/Quartz(lol)). Most watches I saw were plastic with shitty rubber straps. Mostly with digital screens.
Honestly back then, I thought it was a chore to read the time on an analog watch. So digital screen>analog, even better if it could have backlight(not talking about color LED/LCD, just backlight).
Also I didn't know watches could lose/gain time, expecting them to always be accurate once set.
Thinking about it, I do remember seeing Omega and Rolex and thought it was a fancy watch for high class people or newly minted millionaires. But I didn't even know how was it different from 10$ watches. I didn't have an idea of pricing either, thinking it must cost in the tens of thousands or so.
No one around me wore a proper watch either.
I think I saw a Casio G-Shock once which looked super nice.
So one day I got a watch(generic digital one), and I got an allergic reaction(big rash, who knows what kind of shitty allow it was), and then I thought I can't wear watches... 😁
