So it's a 'wrist-worn tool' for photographers who need that explaining, and who find Sunny 16 too complicated, but utterly useless because it doesn't go to f/64 so I won't be buying one.

What lens goes out to f/64?

Many large format lenses, exposure is not limited by 35mm values.

My Fujinon SWD 90 f/5.6 lens stops own to f/64, but the Schneider - Kreutznach Simmer -S 150 f/5.6 only goes down to f/45.  Both are large format lenses.

I like that those doing the marketing for this watch have gone straight for their target market of the 'hipsters with a Leica M' crowd. 😂 That said, they probably should have illustrated the watch with someone holding an M2 rather than M7, the latter of course being the only M camera with a "doofus" exposure mode. (I thought for a second that the model in the photos had had the sunny-16 exposure numbers tattooed onto his fingers as a backup.)
