FLIGHT SAFETY TIP: Fatties out first

A truly free market should have few, if any, barriers to entry for prospective entrants, and I contend that this rule poses a needless burden on the good men and women of the shitposting industry.

Isn't it a general rule that the more expensive the watch, sorry ahem, chronographer the worst it actually is at keeping time?

I would treat them more like fashion accessories that can give you a rough estimate of the time than something to really rely on.

Basically yeah. Most automatic watches aren't great at keeping good time, and as they get older and the mainspring tires out, they just get worse. I need to send my Tissot off to get rebuilt here fairly soon, as it's losing about a minute per day, and I've kind of been putting it off for a while now...

The Speedmaster I have, though (which I rarely wear because it has a lot of sentimental value and it's also a bit too bling for me), keeps time like a champ, when it's wound at least. Still doesn't even come close to a $20 Timex though.
