That's a beauty of a watch!

I'm still pounding away on my MTO ZA1 which has so far survived an awful lot of punishment.  I know other had issues with them but mine has been good to go in the ocean, in various lakes and rivers, in the dog's jaws and much more hazardous places than that!

I'm wearing my Seiko crono.I would be wearing a Casio G Shock Mudman but had to send it back.I really liked the Mudman but I thought the alarm beep was broke.It actually worked but had to hold it next to my ear and could barely hear it.My hearing is normal.The reviews said the button were hard to push but they were  ridiculously hard. to push.I'm still looking for a good G Shock.

I too had some difficulties with the Mudman.  It was very difficult to press the buttons which led to incorrect times for the chronograph.  My alarm was also not as loud as I would have liked. 

My favorite G SHOCK at this time is the GWM5600.

The blue band is made of silicone and is extremely comfortable. The silicone band and the stainless bracelet are the only ways I wear this watch. The other two bands that come with the watch are a leather one and a poly with aluminum inserts......neither of these I find very comfortable.

Before I acquired an appreciation for automatic watches, I had an Orange Monster that I wound up returning to the store because it was off about a minute per day.  BIG MISTAKE!  I miss that watch.  In fact, it was one of the best quality watches I ever owned.

I finally got around to snapping some pics of my ZA01:

(http://gallery.multitool.org/pbmirror/ZA01.jpg)

You can tell how much I wear this one- it's got some rust stains around the bezel and the Cyclops has some serious cataracts.  The 12:00 GITD spot on the bezel disappeared somewhere a long time ago and there's a small chip in the edge of the crystal at around the 4 o'clock mark.  Not too visible are a bunch of scratched and dings all over the case and bezel.

In short it has been beat to Hades and back yet keeps on keeping on.  Given the torture this thing has endured on my wrist I'm surprised it looks as good as it does!

You can't baby them forever.  Sooner or later that new timepiece gets scuffled up.  I had a basic Casio digital watch that I put through a lot in a year - slept in, showered in, never took it off - and it's still working great and has a nice touch of character now  :D
Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?
Post by: Grant Lamontagne on November 20, 2011, 01:02:29 AM
First off, good to see you are still around!   :tu:

I never had any intention of babying this watch.  While I don't deliberately abuse anything, the things this watch has seen and survived could probably be considered abuse by a manufacturer.

On top of kayaking and body boarding in the ocean it's also had the joy of being pounded by 2 meter high waves.  One of the stupid thing us East Coast people do for fun is stand about waist deep in the ocean and wait for good sized waves to hit us.  If you've never experienced this, you probably have more brainpower than I do.  The waves go over your head and it's normal to be standing about 30-50 feet away from where you started after a wave hits you.  They plow into you like freight trains, or they can flip you upside down and drive you face first into the bottom.  An old guy 20 feet away from me last year had that happen and he came up with a face full of blood.

This watch has faced those waves head on on many occasions!  :D

I have two nice watches.

One is a Fossil with a rotating ring and a black and red face with a metal band. This one is battery-operated or whatever you call it. My dad got it for me and I really like it. I started out wearing this watch today.

My other watch is a Seiko 5M63 with a blue face. This is a Kinetic watch with a metal band. I am going to wear this one for the rest of the day because I am going for a Harley ride and the vibration will help me wind it up some. I really love this watch. But I am not sure if I want to wear it for work or not. We'll see.

I ordered a new watch today, the first in quite a while.  I' can wait to post picks.

That Pilot watch looks nice, and so do many of the others here.  I think this weekend I'll change up my watch a bit since I rarely do that anymore, it will prepare me for my new one when in arives in a couple weeks.  It's more of a collectable than something I would wear very often... but I'll wear it a few times just because it has to be one the biggest geek watches ever.  Sort of reminds me of jzmtl post, or at lest the first version does.

Been going retro alot... so I decided that this manual wind mechanical was a good watch to prepare for my new arrival.  I can't even remember what it is anymore... the one problem with nice sterile dials.

its a nice panarai homage movement could be a unitas or seagull version, i had a nice one a while back and had a really loud tick, i find these so easy to read and have built a few of these,

this was one i really liked a destro version with a aged dial.

Zed, you're right.  It has an exhibition back so I took a pic.  Its got different bridge work and it does not have the precision regulator but it's likely the same basic movement.

I have not worn a watch, out of the sea, for several years, though I do buy the occasional one if it looks intertesting.
I found these whilst looking through some of my stuff, from the days when I used to wear watches (before mobile phones).
So, in the topic "what watch did you wear in the eighties"  :D I reply:
Citizen (good, used it for several years), Tag Heuer immitation from Thailand? (not bad) and French made (by Gruen) Soviet (really rubish, repaired twice soon after I bought it with no success).

they look cool, i had a copy tag back in the 90's it lasted a week and then stopped i took the back off it and was amazed at how small the quartz movement was in it, it only cost me £15 so i wasnt that bothered,  :D

I knew someone in the UK, in the nineties, that used to get them from Singapore. Aparently there were the really cheap ones that were around a tenner and the ones that supposedly had Citizen or Casio etc. movement and were around 30-50 quid. The expensive ones were better built and had more functions, though I, at the time, just spent the same money and got a Citizen from Argos, that still works, instead of buying an immitation. I got the Tag Heuer myself from Thailand or maybe Singapore. I think it was about a fiver.

Well I saw a Vic Chronograph at a good price with an ETA 7553 in it and was thinking I really wanted it because of the movement and because the design didn't hackup all the hour markers and make the face look like junk.  Still it is a fair bit of change that could buy some really nice SAKs so I've been thinking about it, and the fact that I don't like to buy watches without Tritium these days if I think I will wear it often.  Still I don't have a Vic mechanical and it seem like I should have one.

Anyway... got me thinking about chronographs and when I went to the drawer to get a new Retro style something or other to wear I found the watch below.  Man what a nice retro design, and a good idea for a chronograph design.  Just had to put it on.... the sad thing is I had forgotten that I even owned it since I've been wearing the same watch almost constantly.

cheers mate, ive been trying to get a watch from my birth year but sadly this swiss eta 2789 is from 71 and i need 70 , it is a lovely watch though and keeps great time, also a shame its original bracelet was too small for my wrists so had to fit another strap, its got a cool blue dial with lines down it that only show at different angles in the light,  :tu:

My Christmas Watch!

This year I was a bit crazy... after I bought myself a the geek watch, I could not resist the great price on this Victorinox Mechanical Chronograph.  I do believe this is my first mechanical/automatic chronograph ever.  I think all my other chronographs are quartz based.  This is a great watch that has been  seen lately for some steller prices between $5xx and $610.  Probably trying to clear out the old stock, but this is a GREAT watch for the watch enthusiast.

Rotary is great value for the money, and they've got some very nice designs.  They've done a couple of takes on the famous Reverso watches as well.  For some reason the constantly fly under the radar, though.

A couple more.
The Casio is 10 years old but was worn only once for 1 hour or so.

The other one I found in a box; not mine as far as I remember, most likely a really cheap watch and appears to be nearly 20 years old.

It is not a automatic mate & there is no country of manufacture markings on the watch at all. So it is hard to say if it does have a Japanese movement  :think:.
Size wise it is 12.5mm thick & including the adjusting knob is just under 50mm wide.

My carabiner watch was made in Japan , I have seen another 2 LM carabiner watches & they were made in China.

Some very nice watches in this thread :cheers:

Today, and for the last few days, I've been wearing this modified plastic submariner I did a while back :)  Base watch was from Camden Market, Rolex dial is from a cheap replica, which I modified by installing Maxi-dial hour markers, tinting 'Submariner' green, and matte varnishing the whole thing :) The quartz movement keeps spot on time, this is one of my favorite watches, as it makes me smile every time I look at it, and reminds me not to take like too seriously :)  Apologies for the lousy photo :tu: :cheers:

I really hate looking at this thread.  I keep getting the urge to buy another watch after seeing all the great ones everyone else has.  The only things keeping me from doing it is that I can't afford the watches I like and I haven't even worn my Orange Monster in a while.  If I'm not even wearing the ones I have, why get more?

I know, that's a pretty pathetic argument around here!  :P

Yes, I had Duarte at Northeast Watch Works do this for me several years ago. Back then it made some sense as the watch itself was only $100.00 which included shipping. The bead blasting was right around $50.00.

Unfortunately, the price of the watch has gone up. But, Momentum watches by St. Moritz has some (Atlas, Cobalt Lite, Cobalt V) that look darned near identical minus the Eco-drive. Decent watches that get good reviews and Momentum is fairly active over on Watchuseek forum in the "Affordable Watches" section.

My formula for making sure my collection gets worn, is to have watches for occasion/wardrobe/weather. The watch I wear with a suit, I wouldn't wear by the pool during the summer :)  As for cost, buy replicas, all the look, all the fun, fraction of the price tag :tu:  There are, however three golden rules of replica ownership: 1. Never wear the watch into a legitimate jewellery dealer 2. If someone asks if it's real, never say yes 3. Never ever ever try to sell it as the real thing on eBay.  Other than that, buy and wear what you like, and enjoy :D

Lil' thread bump with a pic of my Casio PAW2000 on a Maratac Zulu band.

This one is getting a LOT of wrist time. So lightweight, many groovy features and very comfy on the Zulu. It came with the standard plastic/rubber type band, which I find sweaty and bulky.

I'm no expert but it sounds like very little magnetic pull in one of those little compasses, then shielded by its case plus the casing of the watch.  Even if it's a G Shock with various gauges (Altimeter / Barometer / Thermometer) it wouldn't worry me in the slightest.

ive used a few of those little compasses on G-shocks with no problems, my only issue was i kept catching it on things, but a handy little thing to have  :tu: plus a smaller option to a large casio protrek ABC type watch,

Lil' thread bump with a pic of my Casio PAW2000 on a Maratac Zulu band.

This one is getting a LOT of wrist time. So lightweight, many groovy features and very comfy on the Zulu. It came with the standard plastic/rubber type band, which I find sweaty and bulky.

(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7200/6818362548_6e8621a1e1_b.jpg)

I really looked hard at the PAW2000 a while ago, but eventually decided on a Suunto over it. When I have enough spare cash I may pick one up eventually.

My glass bead blasted Citizen BM6400. This picture was taken last summer. I have since swapped out the black Nato strap for a Seiko flat vent rubber strap.

(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y150/ikemay/DSCN0397.jpg)

Very nice :tu: Was the bead blasting a custom mod?

Yes, I had Duarte at Northeast Watch Works do this for me several years ago. Back then it made some sense as the watch itself was only $100.00 which included shipping. The bead blasting was right around $50.00.

Unfortunately, the price of the watch has gone up. But, Momentum watches by St. Moritz has some (Atlas, Cobalt Lite, Cobalt V) that look darned near identical minus the Eco-drive. Decent watches that get good reviews and Momentum is fairly active over on Watchuseek forum in the "Affordable Watches" section.

Mike

I was going to say, that looks almost identical to my Momentum Atlas.

I just sold my Timex and have another Momentum on the way, they are great watches for the price.  :D

i found some gasios do have hard buttons, the 285 has metal ones on the left side and flat plastic ones on the right, odd set up but i do prefer the plastic buttons over the metal ones, its all clean now, more than could be said for my bike  ::)  :D

ive had a few003's and they have similar buttons, they do get gunked up but as long as you wash it out daily it should be fine, i prefer casio's with not too many fiddly parts like my dw-285 or the dw-5600e for muddy work  :tu:

A new addition to the family... an AE2000.  It's not a G, but it is 200m W/R and has all the essential features including world time.  It fits my wrist very comfortably too.

My "new to me" Seiko 5. Clean, classy, great lume, and reasonable accuracy (slow by 9 - 11 sec a day) so far.

I am honestly considering abandoning the wrissmurfch.  I have worn Gshock's for years, but I live in a very cold place now and jackets/coats/longsleeves are going to be more prominent that they have been for me.  I can't stand the cuff of a jacket or sweatshirt getting hung up on my watch.  Drives me nuts.  I think I may switch to a pockesmurfch for a while.

It´s quite useless information for anybody but a watchhead, but the SPF 40 module will fit into a PAG/PRG 40 case and vice versa.

and i do have a PRG 40 i am looking to trade... ;-)

BTW: I wore my trusty DW-5600E again.

What bugs me about the Ti pathfinders are the watch case is still plastic. I looked at the 1300/2000 Ti but just don't see the point of paying extra for Ti bracelet when the most important part is still plastic.

i normaly would agree as usualy prefer the rubber straps but since I've had a alergy problem i can't wear that type of strap .the ti bracelet is so well made and solid that it goes well with this watch .i got it in at
 trade so didn't pay the retail price

Post by: sawman on October 05, 2012, 05:46:21 PM
That's a very cool looking watch Paul, but since I sleep with a watch on, I tend to avoid models that have a light as a front push button.  I fear that I will unwantingly activate the light over and over in my sleep and drain the battery.  It really depends on where the light button is placed, as I don't seem to have a problem with the 6900, but Timex is guilty of the front light placed buttons as well on many of their models.
Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?
Post by: Zed on October 07, 2012, 05:42:33 PM
I cant see the button being pressed too often well located and not too big, plus it doesnt stay on for very long when pressed,

Mine had the silicone type strap on I think, but it's had many other shoes since.
Picked it up on t'bay for about £100, and have been really happy with it. The movement is great and the trits are fabulous at night :D

Post by: captain spaulding on December 30, 2012, 03:31:48 AM
It was packed in a bubble mailer and the aluminum watch box was crushed. There is a dent on the inside of the box where whatever crushing it was resting on the face of the watch.  :facepalm: No damage to the watch (that I know of.) I also thought it did not keep correct time and was running slow, but it seems I was wrong. I am going to keep an eye on it and I will be sure in a few days. I really hope I do not have to return it as im really liking it.

Citizen Chrono-Alarm that I've had for over 20 years.
hmmm,  just noticed that top sub-dial hand is off the mark, should be pointing at 0... might have to do a setup/calibration on it. The hands are all stepper-motor driven which looks cool when you switch to the alarm or 2nd time-zone and the hands run backwards or forwards at about 30rpm.

Thanks, she's looking a little worn now but was as flash as a rat with a gold tooth when new.
The case is not stainless or chrome, it's Silver plated. if I don't wear it for a few months it tarnishes like any silverware.
Cost me $395 way back in the early 90's.

Today's effort is a little further down the price scale but I still really like it because it is an Automatic, not Quartz.
They're only $70 but have a certain coolness and I love the see-thru back, you can see smurf happening!

Well I finally got around to getting a battery for my Timex Perpetual Calendar watch, got the date and time set, and went to put the back back on, and crack  :cry: 

On the Timex website it says it's I think $10 to replace the crystal, but they don't do watches older than 5yrs old.  I've had this just over 4yrs, so here's hoping they'll be able to do something.

any jeweler watchmaker should be able to replace teh crystal, it´s a standard round one, so here in germany it would run you anywhere between 15-30 Euro.

Yeah, if you like watches you really should take a little time and find a reliable watchmaker.  I used to buy broken watches and have them fixed to sell on eBay, I've used the same guy for over 10 years now.  He's always done fantastic work for me.

I suggest you check them in a brick and mortar shop - Those watches are quite big, imho.

In general, although they have gotten better, negative displays are kinda hard to read in less than optimal light.
They do look better, but if the watch is a utilitarian one and not some fashion accesoire (which would be ok) than the positive display variants are the ones to go for.
White, especially matte white, and light coloured resin (plastic) parts get dirty / take stains from dark clothing.

Otherwise, teh G-shocks are quite bulletproof.
Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?
Post by: derekmac on January 11, 2013, 04:50:51 PM
Thanks, I was wondering how the white would hold up.  It would probably get black pretty fast with me wearing it, so I might as well get a black one.

I do like big watches, but I will go to a store to check some out just to make sure they fit me well and I'm happy with the size.

I really need a tough watch that I can wear all the time and not have to worry about being super carful with it on.  It will be utilitarian, but I should probably look at a few different ones as the tide graph won't really be needed, except for maybe a hand full of times.

My last watch purchase since Christmas, had just a little bit left in the budget so I got one of these off of Aliexpress for $12.50 shipped.  I chose it because it was cheap, but I also really like the "field watch" style with the large vertically oriented numbers and high contrast seconds hand.

When it got here, I was surprised, and I mean really surprised just how nice the watch is made and the quality of the components.

Brushed SS case (scratch tested, it's not plated brass or base metal!), domed mineral crystal, good leather-backed canvas strap (currently on a diver's strap) and best of all - a legitimately good quality quartz movement.  To be specific, an Epson-Seiko AL33A movement with day/date.  Even came with a box and hang tag.  It took a little bit of futzing around with the day/date feature to get it to display the date in English instead of Chinese but it's all good now.

(http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r181/jekostas/EykiOverFly_zpsbdd0c2d7.jpg)

I could list nearly half a dozen sites, and Ebay sellers that have this homage to a Rolex Submariner/DeepSea Dweller for quite reasonable prices. I myself scored one for about $65 USD, as I could never justify the actual price for a DeapSea.

It is called a Bund strap and you can find a really good selection at www.strapcode.com (http://www.strapcode.com) They have a pretty good selection of material choices and colors in each selection.  :D

I've got the gw-m5600  (mutiband 5)

Mine says G-5600 on the back. I have no multiband /atomic reception. Yours is an awesome model.

yours looks awesome too.
I've just never seen that exact model.
might be rare.

I own wayyy to many gshocks.
its a disease.   :cheers:

Thanks!

I chose that model because it's supposedly a homage to an early Casio model. I can't remember which though.
So mine's really a modern re-make, think I bought it new circa 2006-2007. :)
Interesting, how many G-shocks do you have?
I own two, the other one (no pic yet) has atomic reception and has analogue hands.

Well, you´d be surprised how quick they accumulate....
If you are only the least bit likely to collect stuff (which i assume as you are here) i would strngly advise not to buy any more than one G-Shock and never to visit the G-Shock section on Watchuseek.

although you could meet soem people you know from here over there, too. But they are as bad enablers concerning watches than they are here concerning tools.

I do not know the actual amount, but as with tools, i have  a few G-Shocks apart for mods, some modded and still buy soem occasionally.

I have mine on a wide leather band as well. I like it very much, but leather pretty well knocks it out of the running as an outdoors type watch, at least as far as watersports go.

I've got my Orange Monster on again today. Its been on my wrist almost exclusively since fall.  For the summer I'll probably switch back to my heavily abused yet still working ZA1.

Trust me, Swatch is alive and well.  The Swatch Group owns Swatch, Omega, Longines, ETA, Tissot, Rado, Calvin Klein, Hamilton and a bunch more labels as well.

And you can definitely still buy cool, plastic-y brightly colored Swatches.

I am not into watches, I only have users.  Currently my used watches are 6 (I recently traded my 7th) and there are a few older ones I don't use anymore. The only watch I never used and still feel it is mine is that Soviet steel pocket watch. I received from my mother in law, after my father in law died. It was presented to him the first half of the 80's.
In the lid and back there are hunting related carvings. It is built like a T-72!

This was my engangement present from my wife's family. I don't remember how much but it cost then (1992) but it was very expensive. I broke it completely some years later (it hit a slate at an unlucky angle with force, it almost exploded) and Raymond Weil Geneve refurbished it. You can see a long arc crack. I like it, it is a battle scar. I wear it when in formal suit.

Thanks for the info! I have no opinion on that at all. Just pointing out that the batteries voltage/specifications Swatch lists vary slightly depending on the model. I should think that it's important giving that quartz the right juice, that's all. Welcome to the forums  :cheers:

Just checked out these Hamilton watches, they look very nice.   And indeed, some of them look alot like my Seiko Aviator, but mine is a lot less pricey, even though it's also an automatic with a see through bottom.  Mine only costs 75 € (65 € if you want a green one).   I've been thinking about changing the standard strap for a leather one, maybe in the future ...

I had that watch for a couple of months before someone made a rather nice offer on it.  I can tell that you if you're willing to try regulating it yourself +10-15 seconds a day is more than possible.  The 7S26 movement is very well known, being in all the standard Seiko 5s and the Monster auto divers.

As it is, it's a pretty well bulletproof movement, along with the Vostok 2415/2416.

If memory serves well, the movement in that Seiko is a true beater. How is the time keeping accuracy?
IMO it looks best in a nato-strap. :-)

I had that watch for a couple of months before someone made a rather nice offer on it.  I can tell that you if you're willing to try regulating it yourself +10-15 seconds a day is more than possible.  The 7S26 movement is very well known, being in all the standard Seiko 5s and the Monster auto divers.

As it is, it's a pretty well bulletproof movement, along with the Vostok 2415/2416.

I believe have the same mov't in my Diver and Monster. I thought yours was a different model. Mines are pretty accurate, less than +5 /day.

Same for my Seiko Aviator, between 5 and 10 sec/day.

For the past few weeks the only watch that I have been wearing is the pebble - its a digital smart watch with a customisable face that connects to your smart phone via bluetooth to display notifications, messages, calls etc, let's you control phone features like music and runs apps :-)

It's hard to believe how useful it is, and has relegated my normal watches to display pieces!

A true multi tool watch! Just needs an awl...

So maybe it should send out small electric shocks so you don´t miss calls, shouldn´t it?
Would need a big battery, though.

It´s interesting what will come to the market Wrist-worn device wise in the next years.

Is it strange that I´m eyeing teh Bluetooth Casio although i don´t own a Smartphone? :facepalm:

It vibrates rather than beeps so you very rarely miss an alert and no one else gets bothered. Even waterproof so you can use I to track swims.

They only just released the sdk but the potential is fantastic.

How long does tah battery last on teh Pebble, and does it connect to all bluetooth devices or just to a specific platform (Apple, Android, Windows...)?

Battery is quoted to last 7 days and I've been getting about 6. Connects to android and ios, windows and BlackBerry support may come with enough demand.

Nice, ive been wanting to get one of those gshocks. How resistant is the glass to scratches? i know they can take a beating and still work but would they look beaten or they manage to keep their shape after you scratch a wall with them?

Im always doing manual work so no matter how carefull i am i always end up banging, scratching everything i wear or carry   :-\

The bumpers to add protection to the glass but can get scuffed as can the screen get scratched, but it takes a lot to do it,these watches would last you for a very long time, :tu:

If you happen to go climbing and slip from a small step, you can scratch the crystal pretty deep with the grippy artificial stones on the climbing walls while dangling from a rope, cursing and watching the skin on your lower leg become white and then bloody....
At least, that´s what happened to the DW5600E that now lives with ZED.

Actually, the crystals are quite deeply recessed and will not get scratched with your typical wall contact.
They are mineral crystal, which is less scratch resistant, but less prone to shattering than Sapphire crystals.

For teh price, you won´t find more rugged watches.

They scratch pretty easily but they tend to not shatter, unlike "higher end" crystals that are quite resistant against scratches but shatters if enough force has been applied to it.

This works really well.  I got one of those Zagg invisible shield dealies for an Ipad on clearance for $10 and put one on my Marathon GPQ.  No scratches and the screen protectors are actually quite tough in terms of resisting marks as well.

Also, I have enough to make protectors for about 100 watches.

I've done it on a few g's and on the spf-40 l traded with Barry,reason was when I had a prg - 40. I scratched it the first day while doing some house work  :think: so did it straight away on the spf, i agree though on these crystals being easy too scratch but very hard too break  :tu:

Would it not be possible to remove the straps from a G-Shock and add a quasi-permanent spring bar to act as a lanyard attachment?  The DW-5600-E series, as I remember, might be a good candidate to try it on.

I don't have one that I would risk it on just yet.  I would be worried about it falling off and my current Gshock costs around $250.  I had an older cheaper model that would be perfect but I can't seem to find it.

Thanks. I need to wear it more often to charge the battery, as it's only showing a "medium" charge on the meter.  I think the battery is nearly 10 years old now, so it might be reaching the end of its useful life.  I prefer wearing other watches because the case is pretty thick on these older wave cepters.

This perception is variable, depending highly on what watch fuorum you frequent... ;-)
But I´m with you. It´s a no-nonsense watch which will work dependably in conditions an auto will give up.

Some watch forums can be snobby,i also can't stand folk on watch forums saying they now have a proper watch now they have a omega or a rolex  :think: they all tell the time but some you don't mind knocking around and they can take it  ;) for me these watches are nostalgic personally,

I believe its the best watch durability wise I've ever owned.

also one of the easiest to use and read...

I'm going to try use it for my work watch until I break it.

Altitude meter, barometer, compass (on the strap), waterproof and build like a tank, what more could you ask for ... ?

And, for a G-Shock, it's not even that big and bulky  ;).

bezel ring has been blacked out, printing on teh case has been removed and G-Shock Adaptors and a Maratac 3 Ring Zulu have been added.
Thinking about a re-lume and replaceing the acrylic for a mineral crystal.

The Aviator is turning out to be one of my favorites, it's pretty cheap, looks classic, nice illuminating dials, and, last but not least, see through back with a nice view at the autmomatic heart of this great watch ...

That is a nice, clean Aviator you have there.  I've looked at getting one of these before, as it is about the best deal on a well-made automatic you can find.  My only beef is the non-standard band width.  I wish it were 18 or 20mm.

To avoid opening another thread ill ask here, can anyone recommend an online source for watches that ships international? I searched ebay but i read about the possible chance of getting a replica watch, so i would prefer to buy it from a trusted store/seller.

Anyone had any experience with www.watchubs.com (http://www.watchubs.com) ? they seem to be nice and have very reasonable shipping costs but i dont know anyone who have dealt with them.

Thanks for any suggestions.

a little more unique compaired to most 5600s you see people wearing.

and most importantly to me....its lighter.
to me the 5600 is a little face heavy with the standard 5600s......still a great watch don't get me wrong...but I can be picky at times.  =)

also if you're looking to buy any Gshocks I have about 40 I need to sell. LOL

To avoid opening another thread ill ask here, can anyone recommend an online source for watches that ships international? I searched ebay but i read about the possible chance of getting a replica watch, so i would prefer to buy it from a trusted store/seller.

Anyone had any experience with www.watchubs.com (http://www.watchubs.com) ? they seem to be nice and have very reasonable shipping costs but i dont know anyone who have dealt with them.

Thanks for any suggestions.

https://global.rakuten.com/en/

I've never bought from watchhubs so no idea there.
they don't seem to be very big.

I'm looking at watches at the moment. I want something harder wearing than my Vostok for daily use, so the  Russki can stay handsome for formal wear.

If you really are selling, send me a pm with details. My budget for a pre-owned watch is 75GBP, if it helps.

Oddly one of my favourites is the dw5600e as more basic,its closer to the first g-shock that casio made back in 1983and that was my first model the dw50001b ,the g56000e tough solar i have is a nice watch but doesn't get wore very often as prefer the more basic 5600 ,the dw5600c was my second g i brought in the early 90's plus with the metal tuna case and screw on case back they feel even more solid  :tu:

I think you're right, a monster "lume shot" is pretty recognizable.  The child in me also loves how the hands form a rocket when they're all on the same spot ...  ::)

Pics not from today but ive been wearing my new seiko everyday for a while now and im in love with it. I spent months considering almost all watches with a slide ruler within my budget and finally decided on this one. Absolutely great watch.

Sadly im no good with a camera so the pics dont do any justice to its awesomness  :facepalm:

Was going to wear this one:

Timex Ironman Triathlon

Found out the bracelet was broken/ripped (second time this happened since I bought it). Still have the original battery. The indiglo light feature stoped working after a few months, the 1st strap lasted a couple of years, maybe. Payed €30 for the watch, €16 for a new strap less than 2 years ago.
This is the end of it. No more €€€ for repairs, no more Timex for me....
 :rant:

Seiko Series 5 on the wrist. Some issues with precision and time adjusting but still it should last more.

Timex watches are disposable. They're all about cranking out as many different models in as many different colours as possible and sticking an insane price tag on them. If you want a watch that will last you, buy a CASIO.  :pok:

Sadly that seems to be the norm, i was ready to buy an expedition a while ago but kept reading horror stories about the crown coming out, the malfunctions after a battery change, a pushdown back on a 100 meter wr watch!!! etc. They surely are beatiful but they dont give a realiable image at all.

Been looking for a replacement for my Timex. How is the solar battery on this one? Does it really work and avoids the need to change batteries? Or do we still have to replace the battery after some time?...
Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?
Post by: lowtech on September 23, 2013, 08:49:52 PM
Usually, the solar batteries on Casios do work for about 7-12 years before they no longer hold a charge. So you will have to change the Battery sometimes. This is from my experience wit used and new Casios.
Lifespan depends on use - A regularly worn (and charged) watch might klast longer, especially when you don´t use the alarms often and don´t use the EL light every 5 Minutes.   

I would not always favor a Solar over a Battery powered Casio, but sometimes the models with the nicer feature sets are only available as solar powered watches.

But changing it is not harder than on a "regular" battery powered watch.

It seems that the 10 year battery of the original triple-10 concept got dropped with the introduction of more battery-hungry features like electro-luminescense.  For example, the dw-5600e battery life is rated at around 3 years.

So, I have looked at solar as a way to get back the 10 year battery life, not as something that will last forever.

For some reason, it seems Citizen Eco-Drive watches have longer lasting rechargeable batteries.  I've always been curious what they do differently.

What problems did you find with the automatic seiko? i heard good things about that movement (7s36) but didnt tried one so id like to know how they work in regular use.

As far as i know, Casio buys it´s all-analog watch movements from other japanese manufacturers. Rumors have it that the "tough Solar" MRW-300 series is a Eco-Drive in disguise.

I should've noted that my statements comparing the two are anecdotal from WUS.  It seems the consensus is about 7-10 year for most casio solar, and 15+ for eco-drive.  I don't think this is bad, as no watch is forever, and they both fulfill their intended design goals.

It would not surprise me in the slightest to learn that there are citizen movements in some casios.

Not much of a rumour.  People have cracked open Casio analogue watches and found Miyota (Citizen) quartz movements inside.

What problems did you find with the automatic seiko? i heard good things about that movement (7s36) but didnt tried one so id like to know how they work in regular use.

The 7S36 movement was designed for longevity, not for absolute accuracy.  Even well-regulated pieces won't keep quite as good time as a Miyota 8215 (another classic Japanese auto), but also don't need to be serviced nearly as often.

I just did not want to state this as a fact, as I don´t own a Casio with a Miyota/Citizen solar movement and have only read it without photographic proof.

In my experience, neither solar nor battery powered Casios are problematic. They are quiote robust movements.

When you pull out the crown, the seconds hand doesn't stop, making impossible to set the time to the exact second.
The watch also has a +/-2 min difference every 4 or 5 days.
I discovered these two aspects in the first month I had the watch. I sent it to the dealer and it came back with the statement that "this is normal with these watches, there's no malfunction"...

I set my Seiko's to the exact second (or very close).  Since I don't carry them all the time (I switch them with one of my Casio watches from time tot time) they get to the point that they stand still, and when I want to wear one, I take one of my radio controlled Casio's to see the exact seconds, and start to shake my Seiko from the moment the seconds on the Casio are exactly the same as where the Seiko stands still (hope this makes sense ...  :-\), and when the Seiko is running again, I set the hour and minutes and date again.

My Seiko's loos about 5 or 6 seconds every 24 hours when I wear them continuously, the guy where I bought them from claims when he recieves the Seiko's, they loose somewhere between 20 and 30 second every 24 hours, but he can "fine-tune" them to about 5 or 10 seconds every 24 hours.  Don't know if what he says is true,  but I do know both my Avaitor and Monster loose about 5 or 6 seconds every 24 hours, which is good enough for me  ;).

Yup, that's a way to adjust time, I thought of that while writing my post. Only thing, you need to have your watch come to full stop to adjust it and if you loose 2 or 3 minutes in a week or so, you might as well forget about the seconds and just try to get the closest minute, either by excess or by default...

You've got a point there  ;).

Strangely enough, I check my radio-controlled Casio's all the time to see if they "updated" the night before, but when I wear my Seiko's, I set them as good as I can, but once I wear them, I don't really care about the fact that they might be a few seconds of.

P.S. Just noticed it's "lose time" and not "loose time"  :facepalm:.

I have a Phasar which was made by Pulsar for Sears. And Pulsar is owned by Seiko.
It is an analog digital combo and I use to be sooo anal retentive I would set them together where the second hand clicks the digital seconds did also.
Couple micro seconds off wasn't good enough had to be dead on with each other.

Now I wear an Orange Monster that loses about 10-20 seconds a month and I don't care.(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/27/ujudanu6.jpg)

I have found that I can get the seconds hand to stop on my Seiko 5 (7S26 movement) by pulling the crown all the way out and then applying gentle reverse (backwards time setting) rotational pressure to the crown. Does that make sense? I turn the crown as of I was trying to set the time earlier, but just a slight pressure. A second before the correct time, I release the pressure on the crown and give the watch a shake to get it going again.

Wow, 30 seconds a day is well beyond spec for a 7s36, it should be closer to 10.  I'd take the watch to a watchmaker and see if it just needs to be regulated or cleaned as well.

Cheap enough so I don't feel I have to baby it too much, comfortable enough, and accurate enough. Many watches irritate my wrist after a few hours, but not this one. I'm not as bothered as some others here about accuracy either - I set a watch to within a minute or so, and so long as it stays within a couple or three minutes, that's good enough for me.

I will admit that I am a watch luddite though  :P and only tend to buy something if it's cheap, easy to read, and isn't too fussy/glitzy/sporty/gadgety etc

Casio-W-S210H1AVEF-SOLAR

Casio G-7900-1ER

I do not own the G-7900, but i owned (well, twice..) the GLX-6900, a different design with the same module. While I liked the timers and Moon Graph, I do not care much for teh tidegraph, so i flipped the watch.
The Quality, as usual, is bulletproof.

The solar W-S210 I own, too.

I took mine apart to media blast, prep and paint the blue case black to get an all-black case.
I´d wear it more if the crystal was recessed. It is prone to scrqtching as it is Acrylic - But it can be polished rather well.

You guys got some nice watches out there! My lineup is pretty static, so I'll probably only post a summary of my watches.

Timex Ironman 30 Lap: EDC/work watch. Always need to know the date, since I can never seem to remember. Also use the timer to remind myself of important things i.e. going downstairs to check the woodstove temperature, or getting out of my office chair to check something on the shop floor during employee lunch breaks. The chronograph is handy for timing certain events at work, and being able to review those lap times later. The 3 alarms are handy for different events.
GOOD: Battery life, toughness, water resistance, good back-light.
BAD: Would like a solar option (I think Timex is working on this)

P1010697 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/climbercraig66/10749274213/#) by climbercraig66 (http://www.flickr.com/people/climbercraig66/), on Flickr

Timex 585 Heart Rate Monitor: Only used when jogging or cycling (aka rarely!) Nice to see a digital representation of my heart exploding, calories burned, HR zone tracking and fast food justification after said exertion.
GOOD: Timex format, strong back-light, water resistant, numbers to backup your perceived exhaustion.
BAD: Does not do much beyond calorie count, workout time, workout zone, date, time.

P1010698 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/climbercraig66/10749038236/#) by climbercraig66 (http://www.flickr.com/people/climbercraig66/), on Flickr

Suunto Vector: Used while hiking, climbing, snowboarding or mountain bike rides. Compass, temp and barometer are neat, but I really like the altimeter function, and the ability to track altitude i.e. "I snowboarded 30K' today over 10 laps."
GOOD: Altimeter/logbook, thermometer, compass, barometer, water resistant, low battery indicator.
BAD: Weak back-light, can be a battery hog, another great candidate for solar.

Swiss Army: Used only during fancy-pants events. I like it because it looks good. It doesn't really do anything else.
GOOD: Looks, back-light, water resistance.
BAD: Requires 2 batteries, doesn't do anything but tell time.

Welcome back to the watch wearing world, and with a neat looking watch to boot.

For me, it's one of those gotta-have, EDC things. I get some flack at work from people that think the watch is obsolete since the introduction of smart phones etc. I kindly remind them, that their "watch" battery life is measured in days or hours, and probably won't survive a shower, swim, or rainstorm.

A good watch is always along for a rough ride, but a smart-phone is better left out of harms way.

What turned you off to watches?
Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?
Post by: victordomingos on November 09, 2013, 11:08:37 AM

What turned you off to watches?

I guess it all started with Swiss Army knives and the EDC stuff. I like to feel prepared for those simple situations when you just need the right tool and it's right there in your pocket. And I like nicely engineered products, like a Mac, a SAK...

One of these days, I was talking with someone about watches, smarsmurfches and about the eventuality of Apple getting into the smarsmurfch market. A friend was telling me that people who like watches won't be switching them for an Apple device. Even if I happen to disagree with him, it remembered myself of an old 80's automatic Lanco I had at home. I decided to get a new strap for it and check if it was still possible to get a new crystal to replace an ugly one that someone had put on it. Meanwhile, I have been reading about watches and started to get an understanding about it. Why do people use watches, why do they chose mechanical or quartz, digital or analog, Seiko or Rolex. And the thing grew on me :-)

I think there are age related factors also. My wife is breast feeding our little girl and she is always asking the time. So it started to get a lot more practical to look at my wrist that to dig into my pocket or to dig around the house for my mobile phone.

So I decided to give it a shot. I got this swatch and will be getting a used vintage Seiko 5, both from eBay. I have found a few watches that I like a lot but anything above 100€ is simply out of my scope...

Just got my automatic Lanco back, with a new wristband. There are no compatible crystals available for this old guy, I have been told. The ones that fit would not allow for water resistance...

I think it looses about a minute a day. Does anyone around here know if this is easy to fix?

Yes, but I wouldn't suggest you go into it not knowing what you are doing.

Inside the watch will be a small adjustment screw that will either speed up or slow down the mechanism.

Well, after reading a few articles about it, and knowing that it would be a risky task, I decided to try. It didn't help. When I moved the adjustment lever, the other lever below (the one related to isochronism) moved together, something which I think that shouldn't happen. I am still fiddling with it but last time I checked thing had just got a little worse, with the watch loosing one or two minutes a day...

Maybe I should take it to a watchmaker, but I am afraid to spend more money than it's worth...

Last time I saw someone adjusting a watch, they had some sort of machine where it sat, with a screen. As they adjusted the screws, the machine showed some distinct patern. It was used to know if you were turning it to the correct side and when to stop.

It´s called "Zeitwaage" (Time scale) in german - It basically counts the ticks (or clicks of the anchor wheel)
and tells you if and how exact your clock works. AFAIK there are Android apps available, allowing you to do just that on a less professional level - the mic listens to your watch and calculates if it runs fast or slow.

I found one of those apps for iPhone. However it seem the mic does not have enough sensitivity... 

As the watch has been prone to stop, today I fiddled a little more, trying to get it again in beat. Without a timing machine and proper tools, it's a matter of luck. I used a mic and a computer to listen to the ticking sound and then made a few adjustments. It now sounds at least a little more regular. I think I will be happy if it returns to the initial state :-) better loosing a minute a day than stopping now and then.

Well, I just wanted to let you know that my old Lanco has been running smoothly all day. After a full night and day, it has only lost 20 seconds. Before I started messing with it, thee was a 50 or 60 seconds loss everyday. So, if it remains stable, I will consider this a success and stop touching watch guts without proper knowledge and proper tools :-)

It's an Orient Eminence , I changed the wristband though, it comes with a chain wristband which is actually not bad at all but just liked it better with a leather one for now.
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/4404/igg8.jpg)
I've been told that Orient has a very good movement for its cost (watchuseek forums has good info on that). It uses an inhouse movement which is of similar quality (sometimes better) than Seiko. And, not in the least, it uses saphire crystal which means I won't beat it up as easily as my last watch  :whistle:

The watch is oxidizing because the plating has worn so thin that the case metal (probably base metal/brass) is being exposed to the elements.  There's not a whole lot you can do now as any oxidization you clean off will come back in fairly short order (and likely worse).

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but the term "quality" is a little bit nebulous in this case.  Seiko's low-end mechanical movements aren't the most accurate in the world but they're designed to run for a long, long time without requiring service.

They had it marked as a Seiko (regular watch).
Got 24 hrs to see if it keeps a charge.

A couple of pulse taking watches.

The first is an elderly seiko pulsemeter bought in the early 1980's.  I used it a lot for running and cycling.  It had two chest pads with a wire going to a piece that snapped onto the back of the watch.  If you weren't using the chest pads the "pulse" button could be pressed then holding a finger to the metal pad also gave your pulse rate.  I haven't changed the battery in this watch for many years (or even looked at it) and when I checked it this morning the date was good and the time was out an hour due to daylight saving time.  I did replace the chest pads/wiring at one point.  This system worked good once you worked up a sweat.

(http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa327/jcs0001/IMG_0968.jpg)

The second is a timex ironman pulsemeter that I have had for several years.  It has a wireless connection to the chest belt and picks up better than the seiko did. (Lick and stick works well for the chest sensor).   I use it about 2 or 3 hours a week as a pulsemeter and find it works very well.  The battery in the chest belt needs replacement a couple of times per year but it's easy to do and the batteries are inexpensive.  It's about as large a watch as I would want to wear.

(http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa327/jcs0001/IMG_0969.jpg)

I'll post a couple of other watches that I use at a later time.

Another that I've worn off and on.  Used it a lot for pool swimming years ago and found the chlorine took it's toll on the bands.  I believe I've replaced the band on it at least twice and the one it has now is a bit brittle.  The buttons don't work easily anymore but it still works.

(http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa327/jcs0001/IMG_0974.jpg)

I wear this one regularly - my wife gave it to me a few years ago and I very much like the size and simplicity.

(http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa327/jcs0001/IMG_0975.jpg)

The last is one I haven't worn for years - it quit a few years after getting it in 1974.  It's a bulova accutron and uses some type of tuning fork to keep time.

(http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa327/jcs0001/IMG_0971.jpg)

I don't know if it's repairable and don't even know who to take it to.  If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate knowing.

Thanks,

John.

Swiss Man:

Thanks for the links.  I did find some information on the net about the accutron - and have sent a message to bulova canada asking about Canadian repair places.  Will see what they say.

I've thought about getting it repaired in the past but never followed through.  Should really get it fixed and use it as it looks like it is by far the fanciest watch I have (or will have in future).

I realized after posting the info about the watches that they weren't really ones I was wearing "today" - sorry about that.

Due to the (bad)  :D influence of this forum I did some local checking and located a retired watch repair man who specializes in accutrons.  I took the watch in to him two days ago and he advised today that it works except that the hands are not working.  He will take it apart and clean things and see what is wrong.  Parts are not available so he is hoping that all it needs is a good cleaning.

Thanks for reminding me of the watch as it will certainly be great to have it working again.

Not 100% sure on which specific 5 I want, but I like most of the ones I have seen. Do all the Seiko 5's have the clear back?


I was looking at both of these. I really wan't a Leather bracelet though. I guess I could always switch it.

The strap is pretty comfortable.  I'd heard some meh things about the metal bracelets on 5's at this price range, plus this model just plain looks cool.  :)  Time will tell how the strap holds up, it's something that can be changed easily if I prove not to be a fan of it.

(http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh627/enki_ck/Mics/PB140096.jpg)

and switched it to nylon nato the same day. Never tried the metal strap actually. :shrug:

(http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh627/enki_ck/Mics/P7020013_zps0dd88fd8.jpg)

Currently it's on a leather nato strap. :tu:

Good luck, Cap'n!  Yeah the display back is neat Derek.  Both this and my Bulova automatic have them.  It's pretty cool to show people the winding mechanism.  The Bulova also has a small display window on the front of the watch, at about 7 o'clock.  One thing that I've noticed about the Seiko so far is that it has a pretty good bit of heft to it for a small watch.  I have a Victorinox about the same size that feels much lighter.  Nothing wrong with that, the 5 has been very comfortable so far.  :tu:  It'll be on my wrist for the rest of the night and tomorrow, that's for sure.....  I like that leather strap Nikola!  Something to think about in the future.

What are your thoughts on this one?  I had spotted it a few weeks ago and like the combination of sapphire, light weight and crown on the "wrong" side.

Looks good, too!

Thanks I like it so far. Got it from an estate sale. 

The crown is on the left side so it doesn't dig into your wrist when you swing a golf club.

That's what I figured.  Tag Heuer had a golf watch (Tiger Woods, I think?) with a similar look and setup.  Much more $$$ though.  I like the looks of this better.

EDIT: Here (http://www.tagheuer.com/int-en/watchmaking-history/professional-golf-watch) is the Tag version.

I bought an automatic TAG Aquaracer once and its winding gears stripped with little effort. It also had poor hacking. It was a terrible watch and after a few days, I returned it for a refund...  ::)

Ok. I just bought a nice Citizen from a felow member...Now, and I repeat myself here, please, do stop showing off Seiko 5 watches. Either post Watches I am not interested in (two tone, blinged out , maybe?) or ones that are out of budget. But PLEASE stop showing off nice watches I could afford by just stretching the Toy budget a tiny little bit too much...
Please.

OK, back to my own self:
I can see a Seiko 5 in my not too distand future. Got to make up my mind about which one and will go looking for a good deal then.

I posted earlier about my accutron spaceview.  Got it back from the local retired repair fellow (87 years old) yesterday and it works like a charm.  Nice quiet hum to it.  Sure nice to have it working again at a reasonable repair cost. 

He figures a battery should last about a year and expects to be around for some time yet to change it for me.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Hey JD, school me on the bilingual calendar and setting the time, date, and day on the Seiko 5. As well as that i have a few questions. I noticed when setting the time (pulling out the crown) the seconds hand never stops. I also noticed when i turn back time the seconds hand slows down and does stop. Dont remember if this was in the first or second position of the crown being pulled out. Does your do any or all of these things? Thanks buddy.

Post by: jerseydevil on December 28, 2013, 11:20:49 PM
The movements we have are known as "non-hacking".  The second hand will keep going when the crown is all the way out unless you stop it with some backwards pressure.  Not a big deal for me really, I did manage to set it to my GX56 at first, but the Seiko is running about +/- 10-15 seconds.  Any automatic is not going to be quite as accurate as a quartz movement.  Again, not a big deal.  for a $60 automatic I'm happy with it for sure.  :tu:  As to the day/date, with the crown in the first pulled position, turning it clockwise will set the date, counterclockwise the day.  Once you set the day to English (I'm assuming that's what you want  ;) ) it will stay at that language.  Hope this helps.  I'm absolutely loving mine.  I wore my Bulova on Christmas Eve and Day, but except for that and my Dw9052 on one other day, it's been only the Seiko on my wrist since I got it.  :tu:

The Automatic movement on your Seiko does not "hack" (stop) the second hand, it moves along in time setting mode. As you experienced, you can stop it by moving the crown backwards a bit in the second position and relieve it when you want it to set the exact time. It is controversely discussed if this will or will not harm the movement in the long run.

You set the bilingual Day wheel once to the desired language and it will show this one when changing the day and date. Set the date in the early hours of the day (AM) to avoid it switching at noon and not to interfere with the movements mechanics, as the movement of the day wheel will start way before it actually shows the next day.

...too slow, it seems.

What did I just say?  :twak:  :P  Didn't know about the possible damage part though......  Like I said, I'm happy enough with the minutes being close enough to correct.  The second hand not stopping doesn't bug me.

Thanks guys.  :salute:

Still not 100% understanding the bilingual day. I set it in english and when the day changes it switches through spanish. Is it supposed to go by the spanish then to english or if you set it in english is it supposed to only display english days.


Referring to the movement not being as accurate to a quartz movement. While im not arguing with you, but I have found my Seiko 5 to be more accurate than both my wenger watches. My automatic is on par with my non automatic seiko. Ill wait a few more days to see if it looses or gains any more time though.

I read this once and I thought it was great advice.

When setting your day/date set your watch to six o'clock (no watches change that early)
Roll your day/date to the date before then set your watch.

That way you know if it was a.m or p.m

Momentum M1 with a full lume dial.  I'm normally not a fan of metal bracelets but a friend of mine who's a professional recovery diver swears by it so I tried it anyways.
Probably the best metal band I've had on a watch.  It's fantastic.

I'm also quite happy that the watch is a sane size - 40mm.  Most divers these days start way, way bigger.

It's normal. It has to pass through the second language when it first switches to another day. It only shows it for a couple of hours. I saw that too in the first day and it was strange but it makes sense. The days of the week are in the same wheel, it has to turn to change and so it shows both languages.

MINE has some days where it's almost accurate and then others where it looses some time. Haven't discovered what makes it go faster or slower...

Del Mar boating watch.  Very similar to the Marathon CSAR design, but different dimensions and case finishing.  I chose the one with nautical flags because it was a little different.

Tritium indices and hour/minute hands, stainless steel case, screwdown crown, 200m water resistance, sapphire crystal, metal band.  Uses the Thai-assembled Ronda 515 movement, which is common enough on the lower end tritium watches (though they're generally labelled as "Swiss Movement").  I think the only thing that differentiates it from the Swiss made version is that it lacks an end-of-life indicator.  The sapphire crystal is a real shocker at this price point.

The only complaint so far is that the metal band is awful.  Like, really, really bad.  Replaced it with a cheap silicone band and it's been quite nice to wear, if a little heavy.  At $110 on sale I think it's a steal.  The tritium illumination is at least on par with my year old Marathon GPQ.

Most malls around here have watch places in them, but they will tell you that they won't guarantee it to be water resistant any more.  I don't know about Casio, but with Timex, you can mail them your watch and they will replace the battery and mail it back to you.  I think the whole process costs around $8-10.

I wore my Aloha GAW G-Shock today, and actually every day since I got it.

i'm pretty sure a digital device this old couldn't be under warranty.  i'll keep it for the sentimental value, but i think i will look to replace it.  sooooo...the watch i am wearing today is still my iphone.  hope to have pics of something pretty soon.

That Protrek/Pathfinder is a nice watch!

changing batteries is a bit fiddly, but can be done with a good Phillips size 00 Screwdriver and some silicone grease as your only tools.
I have one of those awaiting battery change - If you have time until after the weekend, I´ll do some pictures to show you how to perform the AC reset and the springs inside you should not loose...

thank you!  i got the batteries changed, but the buttons won't respond.  it's been in a drawer the last five years, but worked perfectly when i put it up; would the ac reset be a reason why the buttons are unresponsive?
Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?
Post by: lowtech on January 10, 2014, 09:35:37 PM
Missing out on the AC reset can have different advert effects - Irresponsive sensors or buttons, bogus digits, no digits at all...

And there is a chance that the module is not settled correctly so the buttons don`t reach the contacts correctly.

Anyone know the water resistance on the Seiko 5? It just says water resistant but has no rating.  :think:

Is there a design stamped in to the back?

Great guys thank you.  :tu:

JD. Your saying its completely water proof up to 50 meters right? Where did you get the info?


Another question.  :twak:  anyone have a idea of what kind of jewels they are using in the 5's.

Err, kind of jewels?  It'll be synthetic rubies, same as every other mechanical watch on the planet (unless it's a pin-lever movement which the Seiko is definitely not).

As for water resistance, don't go swimming or take a shower with it on.  Water resistance ratings are for static water pressure only.

So really on a watch rated to 500 metres + you still shouldn't take it that deep? not that you probably would be able to dive that deep anyway

It refers to a standard way of checking the watch is water proof. (Submerging it in a simple pressure chamber, then increasing the pressure.) Here's a quick explanation of the most usual ratings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Resistant_mark#Water_resistance_classification

Im slightly confused.JD says its rated at 50m which jekostas told me not to go swimming with, but in the link provided it says a 50m rating is suitable for swimming.  :think:

That's my favorite work watch. Light. Easy to read. Low maintenence and accurate. Easy to rinse off if it got dirty. Love it.

Today I wore my skagen mesh band silver... something or other. Don't know the model. My girlfriend got it for me as a gift. If you know skagen, you can guess which one it is.

Lately I have been getting rid of my poc's. A friend is a watch maker and he is taking on an apprentice and needs "subjects" .

Then my "shelf queens" are slowly getting traded off. I am trading my Chase Durer for a $300 Seiko and $600 worth of bench work.

Thinning out the herd but always adding to it.

Jerseydevil, I found the perfect watch storage by mistake. I was walking in one of our local furniture shops and I came across a beautiful little unit that was perfect for my starting MT and SAK collection. I bought it without knowing that there was a hidden top section. I got it home and when I moved it into position, the top opened up. I was sure I broke the cabinet until I took a closer look. The perfect watch storage, and hidden at that. Here is a link to an image.

Thanks.  It's my first Momentum, and based on this one it won't be my last.  By far the best steel bracelet I've ever had on a watch, and I've had a few nice ones.

Marathon General Purpose Quartz with date.  Swiss Made, tritium lume, polycarbonate case and acrylic crystal.  ETA quartz movement with an end of life indicator.  You can also get it with no date, with a 17 jewel mechanical movement and with superluminova instead of tritium.

Besides replacing the band, I painted the tip of the second hand red and added a protector on the crystal.

Today my boss took his watch off and handed it to me to hold on to while he did a dirty job in the back room, and I took a look.  It turns out that there were two people on the staff wearing Seiko 5's today.....  :)

My trusty Casio Edifice EF-550D-7A.
I got it from my first "real" paycheck 6 years ago as Easter present... ordered it straight from Japan. Hasn't been a second late in 6 years. Still has the original battery. I'm only taking it out for Kendo practice.

After all these years I still find it to be the prettiest watch I've ever seen... and nothing can beat those blue glowing hands.

I might have Swiss jacket, Swiss shirt, 3 Swiss knives, a bag of Swiss chocolates and even a Swiss USB stick, but I'd never replace my little Japanese timekeeper.

I would wear it, but they do not have replaceable batteries, and since this is from 1988, the battery is dead.

Domino's Pizza did not expect anyone to want to use it far into the future.

Thanks, it was a pawn shop find. After looking at it I saw 300hrz and I knew it was a tuning fork.
Even if it didn't run I wanted it.

Made an $40.00 offer and he took it. But I had to wait two weeks while he "research" it.

Came back 2 weeks put my money on the counter and he said I didn't look it up yet and I told him that was on him.

Walked out with Omega put battery in kept perfect time but date wouldn't advance.

3 out of 4 Jewelers never heard of an Omega with a tuning fork 1 actually got crappy with me till I took it to him and he didn't believe until he opened the back.

Seems there wet 3-4 companies making them but only Omega got it tuned up where it was classified as a Chronometer.

It weighs as much as a brick and the band was awful, but it has the very capable Ronda 5030.D chronograph movement and only cost me $20 brand new.

I can forgive a fair amount for $20

My 007 doesn't make any noise at all, and it uses the same movement as your 5 (7s26 or 7s36). How loud is it?

Stop wearing it and take it to the jeweler the reason I say this is because my friend is a watch maker and he just had someone bring in a Rolex bubble back. Which started making a noise about two years ago. 

Went from a simple fix to a $7000.00 overhaul.

It won't hurt to take it to a watchmaker but a rattling winding rotor isn't super uncommon with the lower-end Japanese automatic movements.  For example, the Miyota (Citizen) 8215 has been described by many as sounding like a worn out coffee grinder.  The 7sXX series of Seiko movements are pretty well known for this as well, but sometimes the watch case is so thick that people simply don't notice the noise.

If you like the watch that's all that matters.  I personally think it looks fine.

As for original band it was it would likely be a fitted steel band.

Casio makes a few diff ones, I have two that are solar, but only one that is atomic, wait I take that back, two that are atomic, but it's not solar nor self winding nor Casio, but this is one of my fav and is both, just set it and forget it.. At night after ten or eleven it turns off if it doesn't see light to save juice, it will still chime on the hour, and once it does see light it will turn, and at 12,1,2,3,4(I think) it will try to read the waves sent out from the atomic clock to keep itself set to the sec. Other then that it's solar and keeps itself charged, and does everything a electronic watch does.. JR

I like the field watch style of this piece, but I've always wondered if the crown would be too big.  Do you find it digs into the back of your hand?

I have a similar model and the crown hasn't been a problem. I do wear my watches snug, not flopping loose on my wrist, so that has to help.

I've worn this every day for the last 6 or 7 years - can't remember - very reliable.

I wore this one, although on a leather strap, today.
It´s my formal/dress watch right now.

Thursday I have been wearing a G-Shock G-2110 after finishing it`s refurbishment.

How to seduce a women with a watch without giving it to her.

You two have a lot in common

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/24/e3utera3.jpg)

Why?

Dependable, reliable
Classy looking. Good lines and curves
Couple nicks and scratches but they add character.

I have 20+ I am drawn to this one. Plus you were born in the same year.

Even though I have seen similar ones this one is unique.

Family portrait of sorts.  I'm only annoyed that I waited so long before getting a Momentum, they're fantastic watches.  I'm trying to get a Shadow II used, but the seller is being a little obstinate on the price given the condition.

This one needed a new movement but since it was out of warranty my friend didn't wanna pay for it.

He gave it to me I had my watchmaker replace the movement (at cost) and now it's one of my favorites.   But just like everything else that will change.

It's a nice watch for being so simple.  It's easy to read like Swiss Man said, no date to have to fiddle with, and it's got Indiglo as well.  It's a decent size without feeling too big on the wrist too.  The band is a bit meh, but replacements are easy to find.  Timex makes them in many different colors, and any 20mm band will fit.  If I decide I'm not too crazy about this one, I'll just get another NATO style band and put it on.  The other nice thing is that I've seen these at Target for $35.  If I kill it, I'll just get another one.  :)  I wore it all day today at the store and after, and it's quite comfortable.  This one's a keeper.  :tu:

That's the only thing I wasn't to ahh about it, was that it didn't have the day and date, my memory sucks, and if it wasn't for the kids I wouldn't know what freaking month it is! I really like that citizen Eco drive a few posts back cause not only did it have 1-12 #'s for markers, but it also had 5-55, plus didn't need batteries.. I have a few self winding ones, but if you don't wear them for like 36hrs then they stop and you gotta reset them! JR

If you get a Seiko Kinetic then you gave the best of bother worlds.

An automatic that charges a capacitor that runs for about 96 hrs with no movement.

So quartz accuracy with a auto movement.

I only own one watch...not a fan of digital...so treated myself to a nice Seiko Kinetic about 6 years ago, got a great deal paid £180 when I had seen them in stores in the city for £320...it's looking a little beaten up now but works great and never needs a battery ;)
If I could save the money I'd get another...seen a nice all black one :drool:

I guess its possible I set it wrong earlier. Hmm.... Going to keep a eye on it and change it to the correct time at 12:00 and see where its at in the morning.   :think:

Cheers.  The only thing I'm not totally happy with is the strap; the brown leather is already looking pretty worn on the underside where it's been rubbed going in and out of pockets and whatnot.  Not obvious and easy to replace, but I'd still have expected it to last longer.

MTO is FULL of great members,  to be in the bottom 1% of that is still a compliment.   (not that you are, but just saying)
A friend I found through this forum gave me that G-Shock, and that member prefers to give in silence, even though I like to publicly say thank you.  this is my way of making us both happy.

That particular design is called the Navigator-B.  It's a pattern that was made specifically for German aviators in World War 2.  The dial pattern with the triangle at 12 and the hour markers with no centre markings is called the Navigator-A

Interesting, well maybe you can help me out with something,, I don't understand why is it they have to put 1-12 markers rather then #s along with 5-55, then sometimes 13-23, then 5-55 again on the bezel? Why can't they put a good solid 1-12# for hour markers, then 5-55# with a triangle at the top on a rotating heavy bezel, like a dive watch? JR

The first watch that ever had a rotating bezel was released in 1953 (Blancpain Fifty Fathoms).  The Navigator dials predate that design by something like 15 years.

So an "authentic" aviator watch will not have a rotating bezel as they were designed and first made well before the rotating bezel even existed.

Pepsi bezel? Is there any reason or practical utility in a bezel with 15 minutes in a different color? I mean, is that only for decoration, or is there any intentional utility in that design?

Pepsi refers to the combination of colours and its a dive feature. In my particular case even though im gonna use it in the ocean, im not gonna dive with it so its just because i like it.


For the real purpose of a pepsi bezel here is an old post in watchuseek that will explain it better than me http://forums.watchuseek.com/f74/purpose-pepsi-bezel-657062-2.html

Thanks. The leather band is not original. The original band was brown leather. I thought it would look better with a black leather band, and it does IMO :)

I wear G-Shock G-011D. They are becoming rare, simple looking G-Shock. And this is real EDC: everyday, everywhere, 24/7. Everyday hard use since 2010 and no problem, they are still looking and working great.
And I want to buy some classical design but robust and functional watches, maybe Certina DS Multi-8. I am a fan of swiss-made gear  :climber:

I have a feeling that the mom of the kid brought it back.


my wife would have been up to let her in. I asked her if someone stopped by and dropped it off. She said I should just be glad it came back. So I am doing just that. :)

the only bad part is I was going to replace it with G gshock . The Mrs OK'd it.


o well
I got bills to pay so I won't be buying one now that I got my trusty solar back.


I will some day.

a very black one.

The Timex Weekender I bought for work use died the other day.  :(  The crown was broken off somehow, didn't realize it until I looked at my wrist and the watch said 7:30 well into the morning.  So, today at the local flea market I grabbed a Casio F-105 for $15.  Nice and simple, and if it dies at the store, I'll just toss it and get another one.  :tu:

Great watch right there. My daily workhorse watch is a Casio F-91w on a Velcro strap.
Shines well in everything from home projects to going out to eat.

F-105 again, going to be my standard work watch.  Probably going to grab a 91w this weekend though, just because..... :)

I must beg to differ.  ;)
I only have one wife.  :D
That´s enough.

But I must admit I maybe own more watches than I have extremities and maybe a few more MTs than I actually NEED.
But not that many. Might eventually buy another one. Or two.

So, I'm looking at G-Shock/ Casio watches a little more closely right now for a near future purchase. I am going on a rafting trip this summer and will be needing something a bit more rugged than a Swatch or Echo-Drive. I think I have narrowed my choice to three. I've got my eye on the Casio PRG270-4 Pro Trek, G-Shock 9300-1 Mudman, G-Shock GDF 100-1b. Any suggestions (of other watches even) or help with this would be greatly appreciated as I don't know much about these.

I don't have any of the models you posted but have two gshocks myself and I must say I like them. Both are solar powered, but the one is atomic,  I love it, all I have to do is just wear it, it does the rest. Also nice not having to worry about the batteries! JR

The GX-56 is a great watch, but it is HUGE.  Mine rarely gets worn, I just think it's a bit too big.  Other than that I think it's neat, and the damn thing started me on getting some G's.  I've got four now, plus two older style, simpler Casios.  Oh, and two Wengers.  And a Victorinox.  And a Seiko.  And a Bulova.  :facepalm:  That damn GX started it all!

The Mrs and I went to Austin on Monday to check out a movie (Million Dollar Arm) and we had some time to kill so we went to a department store. I went straight to the watch counter to see what they had to offer. G-Shocks are huge watches!¡! Well, some of them. I'm eyeing the GA1000-4A for a very possible addition to the three I'm considering. I almost walked out with it that night but restrained.

I had one of the dw5000 models back in the 80's and completely trashed it. I used to swim with it on resulting in the front piece peeling away. So I decided to see how much the G could take and I finally killed it. I liked that watch and wish that I'd just replaced the front piece and kept it...  ::)

Surprising that the size of mine is barely noticeable to wear. I guess that the no metal in the bezel may have a lot to do with that.

I got a new watch about a month or two ago. I don't routinely wear one these days, but I do when I'm outdoors and my iPhone is in my bag or something out of harms way.

Can't afford a g-shock as they're $220USD for a basic one in stores here, so I spent 1/10th of that and got a solar powered one that has the moon phases and tides (ideal for if I'm using it fishing).

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/RimfireNZ/IMG_3237_zpsef496db2.jpg)

Not a fan of the plastic strap or especially the plastic buckle, but other than that is seems choice.

Nice watch  :salute: could you not get a G-shock off ebay cheaper ,ive not had a new G-Shock in years as buy them second hand and use them in the sea and for mountain biking with no issues,plus there very serviceable as easy to get new gaskets and batteries  :tu:

It was the standard issue UK forces watch (if you were deemed worthy of getting one issued).

The dial is nice and clear, but the tiny date is a nightmare!

Oh and before anyone asks, no those aren't my legs, my 3yr old is sitting on my lap watching a cartoon!

I wore my DW-004 today.  It's pretty beat up but it won't quit, sadly the strap is a replacement and a bad one at that.

Well, the first gen. Monsters have minute markers (but no hour markers). Other than that, Seiko drivers are quite easy to mod, so if you were really keen you could replace the dial for one with hour markers.

I've seen a couple of them converted with diff dials but to nothing of what I like. I've got a dozen diff watches, and none have that perfect feel.. But a monster with that massive bezel and offset crown would be perfect so long as the dial was what I wanted. JR

Last couple of weeks I've been wearing my Suunto Core "All Black", and I must say I really like it a lot  8).

During my vacation in Austria I wore it every day, most of the time in very bad weather  ::).  I must confess that I also took my Casio Riseman with me in my camera-bag, the Riseman was my vacation watch for the last couple of years, and since I had no long-time experience with the Suunto, I wanted to have a back-up plan in case something went wrong with the Suunto.  And I also wanted to compare both of them to see how accurate they were as alti-meter.

During my week in Austria I noticed that the Suunto was the most accurate alti-meter of the two, (probably because you can rule out pressure changes due to the weather on that one),  Most of the time, the Suunto was, give or take 5 meter, spot on, while the Casio was sometimes of by more than 50 meter (one time the Casio "lost" 200 meter during the night).

Here are some pics from my Vacation in Austria:

Indeed. I was hesitant given the size because I don't like the current fad with big watches. The SKX007 is as big as I'd want to get to around 41mm.

It's totally what I'm after, it has the 5-55 on the bezel, all #'s 1-12(well besides 3) and a day/date. The only thing I'm not to fond of is that it's plastic, that setup in stainless and self winding would be a total dream! JR

It’ll glow all night long. When my alarm rings at 5:30am, the dial is still readable in dark. But to be fair, my Citizen lasts just as long, but is not as bright.

My G-SHOCK GW-4000-1A2JF does still glow in the morning but it depends how light adjusted your eyes are. When I go to sleep and my eyes are still adjusted to ambient light I won't see it but if I wake up in the middle of the night and look at it, the glow will be enough to read it as well as in the morning.

My modded DW-5600E G-Shock. The stock crystal was replaced with the crystal of a DW-5030 (30th anniversary model). One of my favorite watches.

That's my issue, the white soap build-up doesn't look too good on the black watch. I sleep with it on too, it's the first watch I've liked enough that it made me start wearing it consistently.

That is a very cool function. How many times did you press when you first got it?

I'm glad to hear you had your Ecodrive for 10 years - I'm on year 8 now and I'm wondering how long the solar battery lasts. Did yours keep going until you broke it?

It took a day or two wearing it to charge initially, but I've been wearing it every day since then and now it stays full.

Yes, had no problems at all with it.  Changed the strap for a NATO one when the original wore out after a few years and that was it.  Kept good time and never had to change the battery.  Absolutely brilliant, considering I paid £40 for it from Argos. :tu:

Another vote for that model of Citizen. I have that one as well, and it's a good watch. My only gripe is that Citizen needs a higher quality crystal because it scratches too easily. Seiko Hardlex has it beat, imho.




I'm still wearing the skx. After I regulated it, it runs +/- 5 seconds a day.

I bought this Suunto Core Orange today. I wanted one for years, a decade almost. I bought a Casio Protrek instead that's less dressy (but well used when outdoors and traveling).
Now I see this Suunto has low contrast and perhaps it needs a battery (bad lighting), the Casio is the opposite, really easy to see day and night. But it is beautiful and has many functions to play with. I'll see how it is in everyday use.

Still quite content with my CASIO Rangeman. Although it is water resistant, I don't shower with it on. I'd like to keep the gasket in pristine condition.

The compass is spot on, and the barometer is pretty good at predicting rain. My only question is with the altimeter that doesn't seem to spit out accurate results.

I'm moving down the street but at my current residence the time automatically updates each night.

One of the more expensive CASIO's, I'd say worth every penny. :tu:

The "all black" model of the Suunto Core is a bit harder to read than the regular one ... but did you know that you can adjust the contrast on the Core ? 

Here's the official "how to" video from the Suunto site:

Last year I bought my first Suunto Core (the all black version), I wore it on vacation in Austria and loved it so much that when I saw the regular Core on sale at the local outdoorshop last December, I couldn't resist buying it ...

Here's a pic of my latest Core, which I wore today during a hike with my oldest son.

Whith freash battery it's easy for me to read the Core. However I played with contrast. The fact is that after I changed the strap with a black it killed my watch rotation. I don't want to miss it for a day until my death.

The compass is spot on, and the barometer is pretty good at predicting rain. My only question is with the altimeter that doesn't seem to spit out accurate results.

Altimeters work through measuring the air pressure, and calculating the elevation from that (the higher you get, the lower the pressure will be). Of course with weather changes, the air pressure will change as well, and I think it needs to be recalibrated on a known hight, to then from there measure the real elevation.


That's why it doesn't measure accurately at all times ;)

That's why it doesn't measure accurately at all times ;)

That's why I prefer my Suunto Core(s) over my Casio Protrek (and Riseman). 

The Core also measures altitude using air pressure, but you can manually choose if the change in air pressure should be interpreted as a change in altitude or a shift in weather conditions.  For example, when I'm hiking in the mountains I will set the preferences on my Core to "alti mode", so the watch "knows" that any change in air pressure is due to a change in altitude, when I'm on a hike in flat terrain (or when I'm in the mountains but I'm going to stay in one place for a while, overnight, or while eating dinner) I will set the preference on "baro mode", so the watch will know that any change in air pressure is due to a change in weather.

During my vacation in Austria last summer, I had my core and my Riseman with me, so I could check altitude on both of them to see if there really was a difference.  And sometimes they both were pretty accurate, but sometimes the Casio was between 100 and 200 meters of.  One morning the Casio showed 300 meters change in altitude overnight, while the Core showed the same altitude as the evening before, but it did show bad weather was on the way ...

Despite this nice option on the Core, you still need to calibrate as often as you can, while hiking, you should calibrate every time you're in a place with a known altitude.  Be it a mountain cabin, a mountain top, the start/end of a chairlift ...

Here's a nice video I found on the Suunto site:

Not today, but during my hikes last week I always wore my favorite watch, the Suunto Core  8).  The all black version is getting a rest these last couple of weeks, for the moment I'm always wearing the regular black version  ;).

I have had the SKX007 in my sights for some time, and Amazon knowing this, presented me an offer that was just too tempting.
The Watch did give me a scare thoug. The first night it gained over 40minutes. My bloodpressure went throug the roof when I discovered that it ran on 54 seconds a minute!  :-\
I gave it 3 good taps on the back with my knuckle, and it started to run perfectly after that. :)
I guess it must have gotten shaken up abit in transit.

I'm still with the SKX007 (ya, I'm recycling an old pic :D).  It runs +/- 5 seconds a day after I regulated it. it gains time when not worn and loses time when worn, so if I work it right I can keep it running exactly on time.  I haven't had to reset the time in months. I was using a zulu strap but a solid link bracelet balances the weight better.

My trusty Seiko SKX007...

Just layed my eyes on Citizen Promaster BM6401-58E

Not much reviews around. And it looks like great tool. Simple, straight forward no nonsence.

I've been wearing this Citizen Eco-drive for years now - I see no reason for another watch and (funds allowing) would replace it with the same model.

It sure does! Although it is on off-day and dressier occasion duty only. It runs quite exact and is a very nice, simple design.

You can add strap adaptors and wear any Nato/Zulu strap you like, for example. Others have experimented with leaving the "wings" off to make the watch fit betetr. Or try a different strap.

There are variants with more than one alarm, AFAIK even with the exact same case - I´ll research that.

I just registered my G-Shock and they extended the warranty a extra year. There is a section that states this.

"The Casio America Timepiece Extended Warranty Policy stipulates owner be original purchaser of the product at the time of registration to be eligible. Purchases made through third-party resellers are not eligible for extended warranty offers of any kind."


Now I am not 100% sure what they mean. Do they mean this watch must of been purchased directly from Casio for the extended warranty to be valid? I bought the watch through Amazon. Is that considered a third party reseller?

I know. You are not understanding the question though. They did the same for me on both of my G-Shock but it is contingent on you having a receipt (which Amazon does not provide) and it cannot be purchased from a third party reseller. I am trying to find out if buying from Amazon is considered buying from a third party reseller?

for an Amazon receipt,  all you need to do is go to your orders, select the order in question, click on order details, then at the top, click on "View or print invoice"   it is a legit receipt

I do not think Amazon is a third party seller,  but I am not 100% on that

I do not think Amazon is a third party seller,  but I am not 100% on that

I do not have a printer, but if I needed one for a warranty that is very good to know. Thank you.  :tu:

If you have to, visit the library and print it,  but Casio might also take the amazon order number, or the pdf version of the invoice.
I have used it for something important before, though I cannot remember for the life of me what it was.

Wearing the GD350-8 and loving everything about it. Expect a review in the near future. Maybe a week or so after it sees some more wrist time.

can you hook us up with just one picture while we wait  :dd:

I did not buy the watch with the intent to ever use the Vibration alert. I am going to be testing it over the week, but I doubt I will ever use it. One thing I knew before buying and one thing that could be better (for me) about the watch is the selection for alarm signals. I wish the selection for the alarm had Vibe+beep or just beep without the flash. Sadly neither of these options are available which (for me) is a bummer, but it is not a huge issue.

I'm pretty sure 3rd party retailers are non authorized retailers that fall into the "grey market" category. Amazon, if they are selling for Casio and not Bob's watch hut, will be an authorized retailer and all warranties will be in place.

Cheers buddy. :)  Kind of a G-Shock Light IMO.  Not the same functions as a G-Shock, but similar feel and a fraction of the price.  Doubt it will stand up to the same abuse as a proper G-Shock either, but I'm not prone to breaking watches anyway.

I'm also extremely hard on watches. Had to move to rubber/synthetic bands because they last longer on me... So lately, I'd be right at home with that G-Shock :-)

Seems to fit you fine with the spare links.  :tu:

And EDC Gear, would you mind stop posting pics of that Citizen? I have already put the note with the model No. away, but every time I see the watch I feel the need to look the model up again and put it on my watchlist...

I recently managed - with the help of my sons teeth - tpo break teh strap on my GWM-5600 so I slapped the first watch I found on my wrist.

My problem with nice looking G-Shocks is that I really like the looks but then I restrain from using them as they are supposed to so I keep taking them off at work. So I usually keep getting back to my classical square which i don´t mind wearing whatever I do. Usually I can´t stand the nice watches just sitting there, so they get traded or sold.
On the other hand I keep looking for - and eventually trade/buy - nice G-Shocks that I don´t wear.... At teh moment I´m arguing with myself If I should (Again!)add a GW-2500 to my collection....

I must admit, I've taken quite a shine to it. Unique, yet durable (which I need), familiar (its a Casio), and since I prefer a smaller watch (5600 is historically my largest, with thickness being my main enemy), it's amazing!

Agree, stock polymer strap are not very comfortable. Did you have to modify the watch lugs to accept the nato strap?

You can get special adapter pieces that fit the Rangeman. Since it uses screws instead of pins to attach the band, the strap is not drop in. The adapters are made from the same resin material that the watch face is made with and use the existing screws to attach to the watch body. Then you can use the NATO strap.

I found mine as a kit (strap + 2 adapters) on eBay after doing some Google searching.

G-Shock Rangeman (I blame Detron).

Had it for about 2 months now. Really loving it.


Nice Rangeman with NATO strap, Toolslinger! This makes me really want to get one.

The NATO strap really makes the difference. Stock, the band is not to my liking and was hard to get to fit just right.
Agree, stock polymer strap are not very comfortable. Did you have to modify the watch lugs to accept the nato strap?

Good luck resisting. I thought I'd never get one when I first saw reviews and pics. Forgot about it for a while, then had a chance to handle one at a local retailer. My wallet never had a chance.

Oooh, it's nice to see this thread here. There's a similar thread (new one every day) for the hardcore watch guys on watchuseek that I use to participate in. But I'm not in my watch phase these days, I'm more into MTs.

I have really been enjoying my Seiko 5 lately. Thinking about going with a metal bracelet for it. Anyone know where I might be able to pick up the OEM bracelet?

There are millions of different Seiko 5 versions. It's like asking: "where can I get a rivet for my multi-tool?"

I'm wearing my Shanghai Watch Factory "Peace" model today. My wife got it for me last Father's Day. It has a 17J hand-wound movement. New production.

For the curious, the dial text reads:

That is a lot cheaper than a G-Shock,  but most of the G-Shocks that are solar, are also atomic (Radio Controlled).  However, if you do not need the toughness, then save the money, and buy a replacement with your savings when needed.

It keeps perfect time, have it for some time now and never needed to adjust the time. Don't rough it up much, mostly for use at the office so I think it'll be enough for some years...

And EDC Gear, would you mind stop posting pics of that Citizen? I have already put the note with the model No. away, but every time I see the watch I feel the need to look the model up again and put it on my watchlist...

I recently managed - with the help of my sons teeth - tpo break teh strap on my GWM-5600 so I slapped the first watch I found on my wrist.
i do wear a WS 210 since July 21st.

Pardon my ignorance, but which Alphabet do those numbers relate to / In which region of our world are those numbers used? They look beautiful, yet cryptic to me.

Devanagari - the Hindi / Indian alphabet.

Just like zoidberg said. This is an Indian watch with Hindi dial. Inexpensive, relatively simple watch with an hand winding movement. I like the apparent fact that it does not try to be anything else, like a Rolex copy or something like that. It looks slightly like a watch from 1960 probably because that's when the brand established and it never evolved its designs a lot, at least for these watches.

If I remember correctly, 2 piece NATO straps are called "G10", which is a hint to the form you had to fill out to order a new one back in the days in service of her majesty.
Nato straps are the sewn together 2 piece straps where there is a secons strap under teh watch and ZULU straps are the one piece straps.

Resources (which by all means could prove me wrong...)

Just tell your kid that it needs to become adult and wise to understand taht the basic 5600 is teh icon of understated cool. Although, remembering my Teenage days, I guess he/she won´t listen anyways...

Lowtech you are probably the one to ask. Is there a list of Casio's that have the "wings" on the back of the case like the GD-350?

Like this.

Thanks captain, I feel humbled.
Although there is a search engine (G-shock perfect) where you can check the features you are looking for on a G-Shock, I guess those wings are not listed as a feature.

I can tell you some models I know of that wear those wings.

DW-002
DW-003
DW-9000 and DW-9052
GD-350
IIRC some 7900 models have those, too.
Not all variants of all models did feature those wings and the list is far from complete, I fear - Are you trying to avoid them in future purchases or are you looking for models with those wings?
I know most people either love or hate them.
I´ll have a look at some catalogues to eventually make a longer list.

My Casio PRW-1300Y ProTrek also has these "wings", be it a bit smaller than the ones in your pic, but the watch itself is also thinner than the one shown in the pic.  I also like them, makes the watch just a bit more comfortable in my opinion.

Here you can see a pic of the "wings" on my PRW-1300Y (not my best pic, but I just took it a minute ago with my smartphone ...  :-[)

They make the watch sit almost perfect on the wrist! The gshock design, in most of them the strap will not move when attached to the case, so in some watches leaves kind of a big gap between the wrist and the watch, so the wings made it to seat on the wrist, i dont have a gshock but I do have a pro trek prw2500t with wings, does not fly, but it is really confortable, allied to the light weight of the watch and strap, awesome....

First, I am sharing my watches fair among all of the users around here. You won´t get them all, you greedy watchaholic!  ;) I need to supply other addicts, too. Enki should need a new fix, soon. Grathr still has not finished the destruction of the 6600 and Paul is beyond hope anyways, regarding watches at least.
And second, I am allowed to keep as many as fit in one cas. We still have to argue about teh size of that case, though. I think my wife meant one of the small 6-8 watches cases while I rather was thinking about 2 layererd foam filled expedition cases....

No my friend this was bought because it appear at a very good price, but not has good has the seller told he was! But let's see I'm going to fully disassemble it, good clean disinfected it, lubricated, and probably I'm going to sell it in the future...

Does that seller also have the bezel and strap for this one!? I never found suunto parts suppliers and I really search a lot! I miss somenthing in the search...


And no is not that big has it appear, suuntos are very comfortable watches light weight, feels really confy in the wrist.


Edit: has a fact I like more the look of the all black then this one!

When I was young we all used to dive/swim/snorkel with 30 or 50m WR watches, mostly cheap casios, without any problem, since we did not know any better...   :D :D  They would at some point break, but that was because of hitting them, opening them to see what was inside etc...

Now, anything with less than 200m  WR is just not good enough.    :rofl:

Now, anything with less than 200m  WR is just not good enough.    :rofl:

what kills me is the statement in some G-Shock manuals that say you should not wear them if using a SCUBA tank.  200m rating is pointless if you can't go 90 feet with it.
Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?
Post by: dks on September 24, 2015, 04:33:15 PM
When I got my first 200m watch, which I still have, the original DW2901, I remember the manual saying that you can use the buttons of watches rated 200m+ underwater. Newer manuals for Casio say, no, only use the buttons on special diving watches...

I use and know several people who use the buttons of their 50m watches underwater, with no problems.

I also had a Timex ironman 200m shock model flood in 20cm of seawater, this summer..

The idea is that the pressure tests are performed "static", that is, the watch or the water do not move, but in real conditions, as you swim/dive, the movement increases the pressure on the seals and they may leak (maybe the glass will crack if you hit it hard at 200m.. possibility). How much this will increase the pressure and how much safety margin there is in the specifications of the watch is never known/publicised.

Now, with underwater cameras, with lots of buttons and a huge surface area this does not seem to be an issue.

I used a 1.5m WR pentax for years, swimming and free diving (with flippers - fast) up to 5m with no issues, until I flooded it by opening the battery door..
Again, what was the point of advertising it as a 1.5m camera, showing people swimming with it, if ,using watch logic, when you moved through water with it, it was actually a 10cm WR camera...  :D

I have now moved to a 15m WR camera and have swam down to 15m with no issues...  :D (despite what films show, as you go deeper the sea does not become more interesting/clearer)

and really, for 99.99% of people, the watch depth rating means the watch depth rating, and not just one factor in the equation to get it.

... and again even 30m is overkill for the same amount of people, anyway  :D
Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?
Post by: lowtech on September 24, 2015, 07:01:17 PM
The "no scuba diving" and "no button use" is mainly a sentence in the manual which was more inspired by the fear of lawyers and warranty claims then by lesser water resistance - Why should, for example, a DW 9000 be more water resistant than its younger, technically identical (i lie - the faceplate is one piece on the latter model rather than 2 piece!)  sibling?
Strictly speaking, only the Frogman series is tested - each one of them - to the higher standards of another norm than the other WR 20 bar rated watches.

Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?
Post by: dks on September 24, 2015, 07:25:40 PM
my policy/suggestion regarding seawater use is never take anything in the sea you can not afford to lose - lights, watches, spearguns, camera etc.

in many ways, I am happier with a 20 euro watch in the sea, rather than a 10000 euro one, real divers are supposed to have..

when spearfishing or taking pictures the watch gets bumped a lot onto rocks, gets covered in sand, blood... 

whether it is accurate to the ms is not a priority   :D

I do second that. That´s why I like the (relatively speaking) cheap G-Shocks. You can just use them and won´t shed a tear if you should lose or damage them. Although it is unlikely that you will damage them beyond useability. I had nice (no high end, just nicely made and designed) divers and Chronos, but I always managed to scratch the bezels or crystal, sometimes deforming bezels so they would not move or (with my Citizen Automatic) hitting something so hard that the bezel inlay or hands fell off. I would be angry with myself doing that to a pricey watch. Although I´d love to get a nice Automatic (IWC Mark XV for example is a dream-watch)

Thanks guys!

I have  to admit I've been around G-Shocks for over 10 years now, having owned some of the nicest pieces but have to say this one is something special. I had to trade-in my Garmin Tactix GPS for it but I'm not feeling sellers remorse even a bit.

Mudmaster represents everything I've ever wanted to see and have in a G-Shock. The only small downside is it's monstrous size. It's bigger than any G-shock out there so people with smaller wrists will have to pass on it to avoid looking geeky, unfortunately.

Don't own one, sorry bud  :(

The GWG-1000 dwarfs the 5600, though. It wears twice as big.

But I think "wearing twice as big" means it´s a no-no for me. Phew.

No reason to be sorry - To each his own. it would be quite boring if we all agreed on wearing a Timex Ironman, Vic Farmer and a Wave.
It´s so much more fun reading different opinions and learning about new and unknown things.

Enjoy your watches, whatever model they are!

 This thing runs like a top! I've worn it almost everyday for the last few months since you sent it my way. I didn't wear a watch yesterday to give my arm a break. Mrs. TJ saw my naked arm last night while grocery shopping and asked why I wasn't wearing a watch. She then asked did you order another one??  :twak:
Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?
Post by: lowtech on September 30, 2015, 08:02:45 AM
Reminds me of the questions I get: This is not your usual watch. Is it a new one again?!  :twak:

I should focus on G-shock squares and simple 3-hand analogs with black dials to be less suspect when getting a new addition....
Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?
Post by: dks on September 30, 2015, 05:03:00 PM
OK, so I bought a new battery for my 5057 module Casio - went to an electronics shop but even though they appeared to have it in stock, they did not so I went to the main Casio dealer next to them and paid 4 Euro instead of the 1.75 it would have cost me in the other shop...  that should give you an idea of the watch prices too... My GA-100 was about 160 Euro - twice what I paid on ebay, from Germany.

Then I spent 40 minutes changing the battery and lubricating the gasket - I had to take it apart 3 times to get it to start working.

Then I spent 1 hour trying to adjust the time, and when I finished I realised that the dials were not set to the zero position, so I had to calibrate them and adjust the time/date again... and 1 more hour later I am finished..   :D :D :D

A nice MR-G, perhaps? Or just a plain edifice? Analog or digital? I might just happen to know one who might have one to spare... ;)

A few of Casios advanced all-analog modules are a bit hard to adjust and use the many functions if you don´t use them regularly, I must confess. I guess you can navigate the functions blind if you wear the watch everyday, but remembering each function on many of them is nig on impossible for my brain.

Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?
Post by: dks on October 05, 2015, 06:31:39 PM
It feels comfortable, but since the strap goes under the watch it raises it up by about 3mm, making it look thicker
Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?
Post by: Ricardomfs on October 05, 2015, 07:12:10 PM

The compass is very inaccurate on it though. I have tried calibrating it, but its not great. It will point you in roughly the right direction , but is somtimes off by up to 25-30 degrees.

Really comfortable, very light and a perfect fit, at least in my wrist! This module is from a dw6600, the watch is a dw6630, the same but the back light was green, this is kind of blue, I put the G on the back, this module didn't came with it, I really like to see the G on the back.

I wanted the all black bezel but didn't manage to find one at least at a fair price, I want to remove the red lettering but I'm afraid to ruin the bezel!

DW-003 by me, you mean?! If you should win the auction (and are interested in a deal like that) we could trade the white DW-003 and the Codename for your Pulsar, maybe? (incuding some payment from me, if necessary)

Exactly sorry, I won this week, by mistake an old dw-002 now I need a new bezel for that wich is impossible to get... the module is the same has a dw_6900 at least it looks the same, so I think I'll try to find if you have an old dw-6900 for spares :)!?

Check the MR-G please, then will talk.

The DW-002 and DW-6900 have teh same inner case dimensions and there were 3-eyed DW-002 variants which use the same module as the DW-6900.

I´ll have a look at the MR-G and my DW-002/6900/6600 parts and spares.

Grathr, pretty well. I did not compare it with a proper compass, but it seems to point to the north (I know where it is) and it is very fast.

The weather prediction is also surprisingly close to the real weather. (hot but a bit cloudy)
For a proper temperature reading you need to take it off.

It survived the hunt, and even got wet a few times today (washing hands)

I thought the lens was plastic but it still has no scratches, so it may be glass.

That's a beauty, how does it feel it the wrist, a screw back one?

For the bezel, it's going to be very hard to get one,  take really care of that! And check the Spanish ebay, sometimes they pop up there, they are a very good supplier for Casio vintage parts, but, they are not cheap, but not that expensive! I bought from Spain a set of bezel and strap for my dw-5400 it was for a dw-5700, but same fit, I paid 45€!



And today one of my favorites!

The 5700 and 5400 share the same case and resin, only the module differs slightly as one has a nhour and half hour beep while the other has only an hourly chime and a REM (Remember) function.
They do share the case with the early DW 5600, too IIRC only teh crystal and bezel is differentlky styled.

I am glad we found a bezel (or two) for dks.

I am however wearing my GWM-5600, as per usual

Nice! I loved mine but scratched the crystal in no time  :facepalm: I am better off with G-Shocks for everyday use and only wear analogs on Off-days or formal occasions.
Nonetheless, there is a big appeal in 3-hand watches and my dream watch would be a nice IWC Mark (XV) - But I´ll probably never save enough "play money" to be able to afford one.

These have sapphire crystals. How did you manage to scratch one? With your diamond sharpening rod?   ???
Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?
Post by: lowtech on November 25, 2015, 08:01:02 PM
AFAIK, the model I had only came with a Sapphire coated crystal. anyhow, tehy are harder to scratch, but not totally scratch proof - You can see the scratch clearly in my (closed) sale thread:

http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,61474.0.html

I was gutted and never really wore the watch again. domed, non-recessed crystals are just not for me, I guess...

I love artifacts with Cyrillic script, preferably Soviet era. I was never a Communist, maybe it's their resemblance to Greek? Both Latin and Cyrillic are derived from Greek, but Cyrillics look like Greek written by a dyslexic child. Therefore they look cartoonish and lovely.

Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?
Post by: dks on December 11, 2015, 04:15:48 PM
The red dots or a red part are found on many bezels of diving watches. It makes it easier to count 20 minutes, which is a time period that is commonly used in dives.

Gents, there is a lot more information and a link on its history in the latest watch thread.

i would enjoy so much to buy one of those high end g´s, a mudmaster our a frogman, but that´s to much money for me to spend on a watch for now, they will come cheaper... and to be honest i´m more in to old g´s, they look so cool!

Oww mate and "lost" a circlip, and one spring but, nothing like a good flashlight and patience, and there they were lost in the floor waiting for me... I always loose something when I dismantle a watch, and is so painful to find it, but I always do, lucky me:) !
And to remove the circlips, nothing like vic pliers, they are the perfect tool for the job :) fitting thems, we'll, that's a job of pure patience :)

I use a bent needle to remove them - But I will try Vic Pliers the next time. Good idea. There is a Bergeon tool exactly for teh purpose of removing and refitting those clips, but I was not willing to spend the money yet.

Title: Re: What watch did you wear today?

No, there is a tool made to hold small circlips - Like a pair of vise-grip tweezers with angled tip and a half-circle cutout in the gripping part.
The Minathor is a nice set of watch tools. I did have one (LNIB) and I sold it here, I guess to Tattoosteeve? IIRC I asked around 100,- €. They seem to be available at around 140-160 new sometimes, except for teh special editions (metal sclaes or imprints of swiss watch makers on the scales)
The included screwdrivers and pin pushers etc. are of very good quality, butr I just did not use them as I have some loose watch tools.

If you keep you reyes open, sometimes used ones can be had for about 80,- 

Right now I only found a dealer selling all the spares:

I think that's so awesome that you took the time to restore one of your favorite watches instead of just retiring it. That's a nice model there and should bring you many more years of good use :tu: :tu:

I can do 55,- € including registered shipment. That is about what I paid for the new bezel and strap alone.
PM me for further details.

Now that's a steal, what a price, if I haven't already have one, that will be mine...

Using my pro trek after giving it a good clean, after two years of service, the buttons were kind hard to push and some gunk around the watch, cleaned some lubrication, they are like new :)
It's a job of patience! But it's a joy :)
I think that's so awesome that you took the time to restore one of your favorite watches instead of just retiring it. That's a nice model there and should bring you many more years of good use :tu: :tu:

For once in a while I do this to all my watches apart of my citizen I've already dismantle all my watches, to clean lubricate, because they are all most bought used, and to see what they look inside :)

Yep. There is no need to resist. I have two and love mine.

One thing I learned from a watch dealer is to look for models that have been recently discontinued or updated. The older models like that can sometimes be found on clearance online at a good discount.

It coped pretty well with the cold.
This is what I bought it for really. Easy to read, built in compass and can be operated with gloves on.

I havent figured out the pedometer yet.

Me neither! I think there's no justification! They're scum! Should be thrown in the ocean with an anvil tied to their neck!

Well, I really like the strap but I have big wrist bones so it's in the very last hole.  Will  probably change it out for a green (longer) nylon Nato Zulu style one.

Bought one for it...

I wear my second hand purschased suunto core all black. Bought it for 45 euros all beaten up but still functioning properly. It is already 5 years old but it will probably be on my wrist until it gives up.

The turning ring was already gone and i broke a wrist band. The screen is scratched and full with metal parts from using an angle grinder.

I've never owned a g-shock but i think this watch is also extremely though but without the bulky looks. That's also the reason why i bought it instead of g shock.

And because you can change the battery by yourself. You only need a coin to unscrew the cap and a cr2023 battery.
I hate being dependent on someone else :D

Finally got a leather strap fitted on the Citizen automatic I had as a kid, so I can start wearing it again. It stopped after about 1/2 an hour, then started back up again later, and kept time till I took it off to have a bath.... at which point it stopped again. I seems you have to be quite active to keep this thing going, or build up some decent "charge" in the mechanisms.

I have kept the Jaragar running since I got it by winding it up every morning. It keeps ok time. Its more accurate, and the winding is smoother, than the Fineat. :tu:

In the latest watch thread, I think, I posted some links. They are also available at gear...  and bang... 
The white one looked dressier, to me, so I got that one.

I got more comments on these jaragars than on anything else. And they are decent, cheap but good, automatics.

They are really cheap, I'm kind of afraid to be honest that the watch will fell apart, but since you guys gave thems such good feedback I have a hope :)

Nothing looks cooler than talking to your watch in a supermarket !!

Swapped out the band for a Maratac Zulu. Bought 2 and had the green one on it but it was a bit stiff so the tan got the nod...very comfortable.

Still doing this. Got the bracelet adjusted so it fits better (was way loose, dancing from side to side).

Found some old watches that need some repair (Tressa and Roamer). Will try to get them repaired to start carrying them, too.

This thread made me start looking at Omega and Rolex (2nd hand stores).

I was on a quest for vintage Zenith watches for a while but over time ( haha ) I abandoned searching out these.  My G shocks dominate wrist time ( haha ) for me.  My GW330A ( sub dials ) at the moment which is solar/atomic with a big display which are  :tu:.  The buttons are a tough to press tho.  I have the GW300 ( no sub dials ) which kicked off the Solar Atomic era for G Shocks in 2002.  Its a great watch and sees plenty of wrist time as well.

Unfortunately due to how it's set up the location can throw some features out.
I have to adjust the tides by + or - GMT which means mentally doing the same to correct the sunrise and sunset times.

Well, if anybody wants to sell an original G-shock, let me know

I wore the 56 today, and went hunting and picking asparagus, which means putting the watch through many thorny bushes.
The watch looks a lot less affected than my hands...
I would have taken a different model, had I known that I was going to pick asparagus - originally I just wanted to do some hunting.

I switched out the silicone band it came with for a thick Tech Swiss leather watch band. With such a large case diameter and case thickness, the silicone band allowed the watch to move a bit on the wrist because of the give of the silicone. Now it's much more comfortable. Been wearing it a lot.

I really do think its a good looking tool watch design with the stainless case and bezel as well. I'm sold on the Deep Blues now. I'll be watching next year before Black Friday to see what specials they offer (I think they usually do).

Nice. I like leather bands, but if you wear them in the sea they just get destroyed.

I'm in MI. It was 7° F this morning. Not going to be doing any diving anytime soon.  :D

G'Day,

Day two of my "Frogman Challenge".

The second Frogman that was released was the DW-8200. There was a second release of the DW-82XX series which was the DW-8250 series. The major difference between the two models are the case. The 8200 has a Titanium case and the 8250 has a Stainless Steel case. On the face of the case / watch is another significant difference: the 8200 has "Titanium" printed on the bottom, and the 8250 has "Air Diver's". The SS one feels definitely heavier on the wrist.

The one I had on today is a DW-8250WC which was one of the collaboration watches done with the World Coral-Reef Conservation Society (W.C.C.S). It originally started its life as a clear jelly watch but I decided to dye it black as the clear resin was starting to yellow. 

Tomorrow will be the next edition.

Cheers,

Pete

My favourite Seiko today, I was going from the back of the house to the font and lifted my hand up to switch on the light. I had never noticed how bright the lume was, very easy to make out the hands.

G'Day,

Day three of my "Frogman Challenge".

The third Frogman that was released by Casio was the DW-9900. It is a tad smaller than the rest of the Frogman range although it is a very comfortable watch to wear. It is also the only model that has the word Frogman on the right side. A special release was done for the US marked, and the watch was branded a "Seaman" with a model number of DW-9950. Some collaboration models exist too similar to the W.C.S.S. model I had on yesterday.

The model I had on today is the "Seaman" variant, one of my favourites.

Cheers,

Pete

I DID NOT wear my Casio GD-350 for the first time in a long time, but not by choice. I have a question for you guys. I may be short as I am on the iPad and hate typing on this thing.

I use my GD-350 as a alarm clock. For the first time in years I heard the alarm and re set the time to sleep a extra 20 minutes. I fall asleep, wake up to the new alarm and I hit the button to turn it off. Get ready for work and put my watch on........ Everything is set to new settings. Date is 1-1-2010. Time is randomly set. Vibe is on when I had it off. Tone is on when I had it off, ect, ect. Everything appeared to be randomly set.  :think:

It could be a few thing I think. I would say what probably happened is I somehow hit a master reset sequence in my sleepy daze when I reset the alarm time. Next is it could of just been a malfunction of some sort. Third is there is a ghost just smurfing with me and laughing his invisible ass off.  :think:

Left the Seiko 5 at home, hoping for it to run out and stop so I can fine-set it.

Brought my One Watch. The bracelet is not original. It had a leather strap that broke and I put this from a €5 watch I had bought some time ago. Looks pretty nice, although the finish is not that great...

It's got a chronometer. Works fine. Only problem: can't reset it to 0. It's the small dial on top, it's 2 clicks behind...

 :facepalm:

I do not think so as this model has a low battery indicator and it has never activated. It is possible though.

On many chronos you can reset the chrono hands while the movement is in the day/date or hour setting mode by pressing the upper and lower buttons. On some movements you set the one dial in the day and the other in the hour setting mode. try it, should be easy!

Thanks! I knew that. I have to do that before using the chrono. I can get it to 0 but, once it starts and resets after stoping, it still is 2 clicks behind...

 :rant:  :rant:  :rant:  :rant:

A good thing is that I can set the time to the second! It's the small dial at the bottom. the third, longer hand, is used to count the seconds while the chrono is on. The top dial gives the minutes and the left one the hours.

I got this watch by subscribing to some magazine. Pretty nice for what it (didn't) cost me!

G'Day,

Day Four, another Frogman to see some daylight.

The forth Frogman that was released was the GW-2XX range. A major change from the previous models, these models were solar charged, bar two (Snake Killer and the Carbon Fiber, these models were GW-201-XX). There were a lot of collaboration models in this line with colours to suit every taste. This range is by far my favourite and I have a few of them. Today I picked the Blue and White ICERC model GW-205K, one of the best looking models IMO.

Cheers,

Pete

G'Day,

Frogman Friday it is!!!  ;) Today was the last day in my Frogman challenge. Today was the turn of the mighty GF-1000.

Again Casio gave us some new functionality in this model. FINALLY a Frogman with the tides!!! I think it should have been added a long time ago. We also got atomic timekeeping in the GFW-1000 range and the moon phases. This one is also a bit bigger than all the previous models. And with all this the prices have increased significantly, especially the atomic models. I do like this model too, a lot of wrist presence.

I added a group shot as well, and a picture of the Baby-G Frogman.

I hope you enjoyed the Frogman week. If you have, one dust it off, they are great watches. Thank you Casio!!!

Cheers,

Pete

Yip, the tide one is nice. In Oz we don't need the fancy "Radio Controlled Time Stuff" we are to far away from the towers. And, I seriously doubt if Canberra is going to add a tower for us. ;) we can therefore get the cheaper version like I did.

Casio GD350 is still on my wrist. I have worn it every single day since I recieved it. It has been great for work and it regularly gets hit on things, wet, and goes into the -40F (-40C) freezer without skipping a beat. I am thinking of breaking out my other GD350 (in grey) that's still in mint condition and giving it some wrist time for work.  :think:

Thanks!
The Garmin is a bit pricy, but it also has a lot of features. It can be both analog and digital, new watchfaces can be downloaded. It has a accurate compass, altimiter, barometer, GPS/Glonass and programs for recording all kinds of activities and give you detailed feedback with graphs and everyting. (I mean, who doesnt want to know how many crawl, breast and back strokes you have taken while swimming? :D )
Pluss, its a smart watch wich can connect ro both Iphones and Androids, and only needs recharging once a week with normal use.
Also it measures how many steps I have taken, how many floors I have climbed the stairs and gives me kick in the but when I need to get off my butt and move around. It even gives me a nice kick in the nuts on sundays by reminding me that Sundays are my most inactive days and asks me what intend to do to fix that! But hey! It gives me fireworks when I reach a daily goal and awards when I pass certain milestones. :D

If you are going to get a Suunto, get a D4i.

You are right about the watch although you can find nice used G-Shocks for the MSRP of a MRW 200.
Need to dig mine out.

The first one I bought was "borrowed" by my Dad for a long term test. This means I may get it back once the battery runs out. Then he will either ask me to replace the battery or "borrow" another watch while I keep "his" MRW to change the battery.

I have my Böker apart atm to fit a Vic can opener instead of the 45 degree finger cutter.

    Casio 3 Sensor (SGW-1000) watch being worn now. Wanted the solar version but didn't have the extra $250+ to get one. Found a place on Etsy called "JaysAndKays (https://www.etsy.com/listing/241639078/jaysandkays-strap-adapters-kit-for-casio?ref=hp_rv)" that has these nifty Strap Adapters Kit.

    Had a smaller version from Lowtech that I was using for a previous basic Casio solar watch. After having the watch battery die on me about three different times, and having to set it outside for a few hours in sunlight (even tough the indicator showed high charge) I went shopping.

    The newer Casio sensor watches supposedly have better and more accurate sensors. It's the cost factor though. :ahhh

I only own 1 watch and have worn it since I got it for Xmas around 1999. It's a Seiko Kinetic and has served me well. It's a bit battered and scratched, but it has never failed me.  The glass has 2 main scratches from puppy teeth when I got my Westie in 2002, but other than that it's just general wear scratches.

I've thought about replacing it with a G shock or something but never have because it just keeps on ticking.

I always said I wouldn't buy an Apple Watch, as interesting though they were - I thought they were ridiculously overpriced.

So, I was kind of amazed when SWMBO bought me one for Christmas. I had no idea until I opened it on Christmas morning.

When people ask about it (and they do) - I simply say I wouldn't buy one, but its a bloody brilliant present :D

So, I've been wearing it daily for 7 months or whatever and I have to say I really do like it. I use it for boarding flights, train tickets, reading / sending texts and I use Siri. Its brilliant for traveling as it adjusts to the local timezone etc, etc. It works for me and I'm glad I have it. I'm even more glad I didn't pay for it  :D

The 'alleged' 1963 Chinese airforce prototype.

It's a little gem at 38mm and has a very good version of the Lemania 1873. Which was the same movement omega modified for the Speedmaster.

I've only owned it a couple weeks so way too soon to really endorse it but it's holding up pretty well so far :tu: :tu:

A Jaragar again, on a new strap, that increased the watches value by 50%.

I included some pictures of the old and the new strap.
The old one was OK but had questionable leather.

The new one is a bit shorter than I would like, but otherwise of good quality.

To be honest I think the current Victorinox mechanical watches are about the biggest bang for your buck Swiss watches around.  Their quality is on par with watches costing 2 or 3 times the price. If not better in some cases.

I agree. And their quartz watches, too. I have a Victorinox Infantry mechanical and a Maverick quartz. The Maverick is a bit dressier dive style watch that is better in fit and finish than comparably priced Seikos and Citizens. I'm surprised Victorinox watches are not more popular except for the fact that they seem to have a very inflated MSRP. You have to catch them on sale or closeout models to get the best deals.

they are expensive for a standard quartz. they are also not very well known, unlike wenger.

Post by: raistlin65 on September 23, 2016, 09:36:47 PM
I think their mechanicals can be a bit expensive, too, at MRSP. I picked up this Maverick for under $200: (https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81jcd1Cx7IL._UY445_.jpg)

Fit and finish and definitely a good bit above your standard quartz watch with a decent bracelet, too. I think it's a very good watch for the ~$200 range.

For the first time since the mid-1980s I'm wearing something other than my Casio CFX-40 scientific calculator watch.  I decided to pick up a Casio Rangeman.  It's quite a beast, very solid.  It's got the full compass - barometer - altimeter sensor range (version 3 - less room, less power).  Runs on solar power and is apparently waterproof to 200 meters.  It will be interesting to see if it holds up...

Tissot had a habit in the past of obsoleting models and the spares would just disaspear. I had an early T-touch, I broke the crystal and was unable to get a replacement

Given the fact that the second hand has it's own dial (instead of being centered with the other hands) I'd estimate that watch somewhere in the 60's ;)

That is a carnelian (orange/red agate) watch fob and is at the end of the chain. It has an R carved in reverse, so probably was used for sealing wax. The chain and fob are much older (Edwardian?) than the watch.

That's so sweet, litterly everything I want but soooo out of my price range! 1-12 number markers rather then dots, a date, 24hr, and best of all automatic and beefy, only other thing I'd rather is 5-55 number markers, and a day/date.

Cheers JR, out of all the watches I own I seem to end up wearing this most of the time.
Out of all my watches I pretty much seam to stick with those two gshocks, 95% of the time that 6900, cause if you don't wear those fancy ones for a couple days then you have to reset everything since some of them are automatic, thus why I really like that 6900, cause well it's solar and also atomic, just wear it and forget about it.. that other one of it starts getting low just wear it on a good day or just stick it in the window for a day,,

Years later I'm still wearing my Casio G-Shock GD-350 each and every day. I love the look, the user interface, and everything else about this watch. It does everything I need it to and has been 100% reliable. I could not ask for more.  :tu:

Took the battery out of my old Seiko for storage purposes but on the upside I put new batteries in both my Wenger watches and they run like........ well a Swiss watch.  :D

I would like to replace the bands on both of them though. I'm thinking a Leather to replace the metal bracelet and a new leather for the other. Also want to get a new band for my Seiko 5.

Thank you, I like them because they are simple and un-fussy.

The Mavericks look good, the mechanical will be an ETA 2824 at a guess and there is nothing wrong with that movement at all!  ETA 2824 Automatic for the People (http://wornandwound.com/caliber-spec-eta-2824-automatic-people/)
The chronograph is quartz (not always a bad thing) not sure which caliber but again shouldn't hold an surprises. The cases and bracelets are also top notch as well, as good as if not better than good many other 'Swiss' brands. Hey I've got two vic watches and I think they are great value for a Swiss watch. :tu:

H&S training has to be provided at no cost to the employee (even if self employed). If they send you on a course they have to pay for your time, it's in the regs and is non-negotiable.  :salute:

Used to have a G-Shock, then went to the Huawei Watch W1 and as I upgraded to an iPhone 7 Plus the Watch W1 didn't play that nicely so got an Apple Watch Series 3 and been wearing that now for around 2-3 months.

Pic is from a few weeks back, couldn't be bothered taking another pic, the bumper case is the Spigen Rugged Armour.

Bought, well gave the older kid a watch for his grad,, simple invicta dive watch..

Great gift!  I'm sure he'll treasure it!  :like: :like:
I hope so, idk if he’ll ever use it, all he carries is his cell. But if he does all he has to do is shake it a few times then set it cause it’s a self winding and will never need a battery.

Yeah I thought the same, not too sure about the new Airboss TBH https://www.victorinox.com/uk/en/Products/Watches/Mens-Watches/AirBoss-Mechanical/p/241820 Although I like the blue dial dial, the tachymetre has no use on a non chronograph and the 24 hour ring is un-readable in red

My current watch is a Casio that I got at Costco several years ago for about $60. It has been a very good watch but it is all scratched up and recently it has started to fog up on occasion. I am open to paying a little more for quality but I would like to keep the price under $100 if possible. I am also open to different styles as long as it is not too large...size does matter. :D Please feel free to make suggestions for retailers and watch models. Pictures would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Two, everyday. I wake up with my Luminox on, swap it out for something else, then back to the Luminox when I go to bed. I prefer the tritium at night.
