Hi Neil,nbg wrote:@theemaadhatter - did you end up giving your view on watch winders on the FB page, or did you decide that your view would not have been well received?

First, I hope my reply in the thread wasn't perceived as a dig at the Facebook group in any way. I was only pointing out differences I have noticed in using both. I glad both the forum and the FB group exist. I'm happy being a member of both groups. They are both useful and enjoyable, generally. My response was an indirect way of answering the question posed in this thread title. FB is good for a quick pic, a way to share a shiny new trinket, elicit likes to build confidence, and ask some basic questions. Those are good things. But, as long as people have opinions and a wish to express them in detail, weigh pros and cons in detail, build resources, and network on a deeper level, I believe forums will stay lively.
Hehe, I'd hate to be the person on the FB group that runs in and crashes a thread party by being somewhat negative on a given topic. FB is a feel-good place. If you post a pic there or show something you're proud of then you kind of hope for all the good feels. I guess you sort of know what you're going to get, including a lot of Food pics. Here on the forum you never know what you're going to get.
