Grab Doom Emacs, it has evil-mode very well integrated and the space bar leader key setup should come natural.

I've used Emacs for a while now (since '89 or so) but had to learn vi really well as I spent most of the '90s on all sorts of Unix machines that invariably had vi (or ex, and ed, of course) and never Emacs, so I got to appreciate the friendliness of the modal model of interaction over Emacs' use of lots-of-modifier-keys. I think it's more ergonomic, even though it's not always perfect at times, so I use a mixture.

Oh, and swap Ctrl and Caps Lock. That Caps Lock key has no business sitting where it sits on the PC keyboard, that's what you get when a typewriter factory starts building computers. Thanks, IBM. For Emacs especially I feel it makes the modifier combinations a bit easier on the left hand.

It's got a mechanical movement. Good one to teach the youngsters, I guess ;-). Not my taste but not complaining if arguably the largest watch brand on the planet releases mechanical watches targeted at, well, "my kids" and younger.

The AP cobranding reminds me of digital cameras like Panasonic with "Leica" lenses and Sony with "Zeiss". Yup. Marketing.

Gorgeous thing. Is that mercury in the glass tubes in the pendulum?
