The DU Lounge

I've always worn a wristwatch and will continue to wear one. I have a "dumb" watch which runs off a battery and tells the time and date; nothing else. That one is my backup watch. The one I wear is an inexpensive smartwatch which tells time, date, takes my blood pressure, pulse, and a host of other things. I wear a wristwatch because it's more convenient than pulling out my phone.

In addition to those two watches, I have an aluminum pocket watch with chain I bought from a street stall in Berlin by the Brandenburg Gate in the early 90s. On the cover it says MBд which Google says is MBD KGB USSR Special Forces Paratroopers. The insides says 75 and in translated Russian Criminal Investigation. It's still works, keeps time accurately, and is a good conversational item.



nostalgia.su offers the watch at $200 or about 10 times what I paid for it.
