What watch do you wear?

Been checking the accuracy my Islander with the Miyota 9015 movement. Set to and checked against the NIST.

1st three days, wearing it all the time: -14 seconds or -4.66 seconds per day so I set it to exactly 1 minute fast so I could check it over time; it should slowly lose time till it's right on then start going minus, Theoretically I should only need to re-set once a month or so and never be more than a minute off.
Per advice I saw on line, I removed the watch at night leaving it stem up. After another 3 days it's -7 seconds or -2.33 seconds per day. This is well within the specs for the Miyota movement and I am happy with the results. I guess it's true that position effects accuracy on mechanicals.

I'll continue with the watch off at night and re-check over time to see how it holds up over longer periods.

It definitely looks bigger in the picture than it actually is.

I often have to set my iPhone camera to 2x or 3x optical zoom for watch or knife pics, to get rid of the fisheye and optical illusion of the item closer being bigger than it is IRL.

In the 1x picture, the screen of the AppleWatch Ultra takes up the whole width of my wrist and looks oversized, but in 2x zoom the screen only takes up about 80% of the width of my wrist, because it gets a different perspective on the watch and catches more of the sides and not just the face.

Also, I wear a nice analog watch on my left wrist for time, and an Apple Watch on my right for activity tracking and notifications. The number of times I would look at my Apple Watch for the time, only to be met with a notification or alert and not the time, was too frustrating. I'd then have to use my other hand to manually get it to display the time. No one seems to even bat an eye anymore with those of us who wear both.
 
Titanium, carbon fiber, Miyota auto movement...what's not to love! Today is the MARATAC LSA in Marbled carbon Fiber.

It's just a calendar appointment I didn't notice in the pic before - the appointment makes me sure to not bother my wife during that time. I will edit that out.
