I've been wearing a Garmin Instinct Tactical for the last 18 months. Decided on an upgrade, got this Garmin Fenix 6 Pro Solar, which will be my new daily wearer.
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

Picked this Seiko up a few weeks back. I love everything about it,,,, EXCEPT,,,,, the 7S26A movement. I did not know that you couldn't manually wind it when I bought it. I have since been educated.

Swapping the movement to an NH 35/36 (I can't remember which is the right one) is pretty simple if you take your time and have a few basic tools.

 :like: Thanks Smashie. As it is I only wear the watch on weekends. While having my coffee on Saturday morning I open the back and manually wind it with a small screwdriver. It runs all weekend with that one wind. I will most certainly be looking into a movement change though. Thanks again!

As the Apple Watch 4 got a quite poor batterie live, and it’s not really made for outdoor stuff, I decide to get me a Garmin Instinct 2 Solar in Blue, it’s brings memories
On G-Shock, and it’s states to last still 25 days whit 88% batterie left..
it’s no touchscreen, but controll whit buttons works quite easy as far as you got used to
Your SAK is only fully yours, when it bites you, or you opend a Trink of your joice whit it
SAKs i have: Huntsman Light (Red Transparent), Workchamp (Black), Wenger EvoGrip S557 (Red), Swisschamp XLT (Red Transparent).. Swisschamp (Blue Transparent) Cybertool L (Blue Celidor (custom scales) , Huntsman (Black Celidor) , Victorinox EvoGrip S557 (Red, but sadly lost in my house somewhere) Victorinox Delemont S17 and S57 ..  , waiting for: Swiza D09 Blue

Thanks Barry  :hatsoff:

I've made good experiences with their Eco-Drives (Solar). I can read the time on this one without my glasses, and it seems tough enough for my clumsy hands  :D

If by silver, you mean white gold or platinum, then yes. I would like to mention that the Day Date only comes in precious metals. I still think white gold and platinum look like SS after a very short time.
