Carmina
I'm interested to try them for dress shoes, but I heard they have a lot of different lasts and it feels a bit overwhelming to know what would fit well. Guess I'll just need to wait until I find myself in San Francisco again to go to a store

Laces rubbing on shoe tongue, what should I do?
You're right, I think it is eyelets.

Laces rubbing on shoe tongue, what should I do?
I thought it was the laces themselves, but I can doublecheck its not the eyelets

Watches
The one argument that I've heard for why folks like mechanical/automatic watches is that they involve a lot more of the watchmaking craft (lots of very tiny intricate pieces) where are quartz are a bit more "look what we can do with integrated circuits". If that's something that appeals to you, then go for it. For the most part watches are entirely an aesthetic choice rather than being practical (I rarely am in a situation where I don't have good cell service, and can get time from there). FWIW, I like the precision of quartz watches.

But if you've got a small/medium wrist, might not look good on you

I got the Lunar Pilot because I'm a science nerd, and it's a nice chronograph. https://www.jomashop.com/bulova-watch-96b251.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PMax%3A%20%28ROI%29%20Smart%20Shopping%20-%20Sale%20Watches%20%24100%20-%20%24500utm_id=18335885666&utm_content=&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA75itBhA6EiwAkho9exfhWzWs22A_zqg3nqQyFzhRGjcKHJYJ2BI9V1bTDIASCC2cxqrKjhoCf_AQAvD_BwE

Though for Bulova, it's worth shopping around or looking on eBay to see what you can get, "retail prices" tend to be inflated

Ahh, didn't know if this was close enough to be closed lacing. Got it.

And Vass does appear to be an option as well (though card to tell if this more derby vs oxford) https://vass-shoes.com/shop/alt-wien-p2/?v=7516fd43adaa
