Got my first ever watch, aside from super cheap ones. I am very happy.

I used to wear watches on my right wrist but had to change to the left as using a mouse all day is awful with a decent watch on. Guess it’ll take a while to get used to it.
Edit: I just noticed that by complete chance I took the image when the seconds were at 0. I did not plan that.
The engineering of the spring drive movement is actually pretty insane. It’s mechanically-powered, but uses a quartz regulator (mechanically powered via a very tiny generator) to keep perfect time, and uses inductive braking to adjust the speed of the hands super accurately. It’s a bit of an engineering marvel, to be completely honest. More details, if you’re curious.
