Insurance and not being stupid is essentially it.

I’m not sure comparing to cars is at all relevant. Mechanical watches are anochronistic items of jewellery that really should have long ceased to exist, yet they do because of our fascination with miniature engineering and shiny toys. Not mocking the OP but it’s laughable to think that AP could/would put any sort of tracking into a watch when their movements aren’t exactly svelt and could stand to lose a bit of bulk. That said, AP like challenges and so maybe they have/are working on unique radio active isotopes that are trackable - the technology exists but it’s working life is probably measured in one full wind of a watch.

I for one like the fact that my watches have zero electronics and I’m far from a Luddite and owe my working life to technology.

All that said, I’m in the ‘give it up’ camp - a mugger can have whatever they like with no fight from me and my wife is under that same mandate.
