It first started with unable to save new contacts, kept clicking okay but nothing happened but once I closed the app the contact was saved.

This was genuinely the first time I had issue with ios not working as intended in 10 years of experience.

Today tried renaming multiple playlists on music and sorted them alphabetically. They still hold the same position, can change their position if I sort them by last updated but as soon as I switch to alphabetically it doesn’t work.

Remember naming few playlists six months ago and worked fine.

I bought my first automatic watch in 2023, a Bulova Marine Star. I guess I wanted something with a really busy dial and a bit of a Hublot vibe. Don’t hate me.
I rarely wore it though because my taste developed pretty quickly and I found myself gravitating towards more minimalistic designs.
Then I bought a PRX Automatic, but after only wearing it a handful of times I gifted it to my dad. I was planning to buy a Hamilton Murph, but it was just outside my budget, so I ended up getting a Seiko 5 instead. I have never been happier. It’s my daily now. Sometimes I don’t even take it off before going to bed.
The one thing that kept bothering me was the power reserve. It claimed around 41 hours, but I was barely getting 12 to 14 hours. At one point I convinced myself that maybe I’d damaged it after swimming in the ocean. I was actually considering taking it back to the store to get it checked.
Thankfully, the algorithm gods came to the rescue. I stumbled across a post from someone complaining about the exact same thing.
Because I never wore the Bulova or the Tissot long enough, I never really learned what winding an automatic watch actually meant. I genuinely thought giving it a shake and wearing it all day was enough for it to hold a 40-hour power reserve.
I literally jumped out of bed, unscrewed the crown, and gave it a proper wind. That sound and feeling gave me chills. I couldn’t stop laughing at myself.
I’ve probably spent hundreds of hours watching Teddy Baldassarre and other watch channels, yet somehow I completely missed one of the most basic things about automatic watches.
I’m just glad I didn’t walk into the store asking them to diagnose a perfectly healthy watch, only to get a lesson on how to wind it. I was even considering buying one of those watch winders.
Anyway, I hope my tomfoolery gave someone a laugh.
