We’re abroad on holiday and my wife isn’t wearing her watch during the day. We were getting ready to go out for dinner and she handed me her watch and at the same time said the battery had run out!!

I have to set my wife's Rolex and Breitling EVERY TIME.

The good thing is she at least buys in and understands my crazy obsession with these things. She doesn't give me a hard time about all the hours I spend here and researching the next piece, or even buying that next watch.

beshannon · 23 July 2019, 02:47 AM

Perhaps explain it to her?

iatacs19 · 23 July 2019, 02:49 AM

That's why you are there, just set the darn thing and make it right for her!

ThatExplorer · 23 July 2019, 03:11 AM

My wife does the same with her Cartier Ball on Bleu she goes "its dead" lol. She's a sweet heart but I shake my head

My wife does the same thing with her DJs as she rotates wearing various watches. She at least knows they are automatic, but also knows it's easier to just had it to me to set.

Nice, sexist thread.

Talbel · 23 July 2019, 03:31 AM

Complete opposite here. We were at a Grand Seiko event over the weekend and she got herself a GS GMT so she can keep track of the time when she travels. She even got the President of Grand Seiko USA to sign the box and he took the watch and is having the back engraved for her. I am just hoping she will let me wear some of her watches from time to time.

SS Oyster · 23 July 2019, 03:37 AM

I set my wife’s watch, but when she picks me up at the airport, she’ll be wearing her SD, but the time and date will be whenever it last stopped.

She does love it, but less as a timekeeper and more as a gift from me and piece of jewelry.

Nope. My Wife knows how to wind her watches. I always check to see if her date is set and it usually isn't, not because she doesn't know how to set it but she apparently doesn't care about the correct date being set.

Justingtr · 23 July 2019, 03:52 AM

Instead of ragging on the wife why don't you just communicate how it works?

That is soo funny. She know how it works, she's just looking for some sucker to set it for her.

Women learned centuries ago that letting men think they were the intelligent ones enabled them to get them to do anything for them.

Quartz today, quartz tomorrow, quartz forever for a happy life.

Fat_ninja · 23 July 2019, 05:18 AM

No. Wife has a nice Rolex , Seiko and GS collection. She’s very knowledgeable.

Vanessa CW21 · 23 July 2019, 07:31 AM

Not all wives.... my husband hands me his watch(es) every time they stop.

Yes, I looked to see if the thread was locked, and was surprised to see it still alive.

droptopman · 23 July 2019, 07:50 AM

My wife gets it, but she usually asks me to set them. She keeps them on a winders so they are usually pretty close. Mainly wearing a DJ and OP these days. She will notice watches on others all the time. We were at gas station last week and she spotted a Sub on the guy across from us pumping gas.

Widows Son · 23 July 2019, 08:00 AM

My wife asks me to set her Datejust every time it stops. I constantly ask for her help with the computer, smart phone, ect. Not quite convinced either are a gender thing!!!!!!

RLX_NY · 23 July 2019, 08:18 AM

So you cant convince her that is a new cheaper patek???

GB-man · 23 July 2019, 08:50 AM

My wife gets it but frankly would prefer a quartz. She is annoyed when her OP stops running and hands it off to me.
