I was wondering how come Omega doesn't develop a power reserve function for the Speedmaster or Seamaster line? I understand that a lot of people may think it's useless to have it on the dial. However, after owning my first watch with a power reserve indicator for a week, I can tell you that it is a very useful function, at least for me. Sometimes I seat at the office all day long, and I always take off my watch when I work at the desk. With the PR indicator, I can tell if I need to wear or wind the watch. To get a watch wound up during normal wear, it actually takes many hours. For the past couple of days, I've been spending a lot of time at the office, so I see the power is running low, and I will try to wear it more often. So I think this is a very useful function for a mechanical watch.
I had read some articles that said it's actually not that complicated to add such a function to a movement. Some watchmakers also don't consider PR as a complication. :think:
For those who own watches with a PR indicator, feel free to share your thoughts.
