Anyone ever heard of the "Swissbeat MP3 player"?
No? Exactly my point.

I have one, brand new in the box:D

I am really surprised you have one.
Maybe one day it will be worth a lot of money?  :pok:

Seiko 5 series is a classic so many different and great designs over the years.

Yeah, unless you're the lucky guy who buys one, brand new, from a legitimate store and after a couple of years (3, 4 months after the warranty expires) of taking really good care of it, it just breaks and starts getting 10h ahead every day. Apparently, some production batches had this issue.

Price of new watch: €110
Cost of repair: €80

 :facepalm:

I'm now the proud owner of a very expensive non-precious bracelet with some (very fast) moving parts...

 :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

Right now, Seiko has made my "no-buy" list, along with Timex (in the watch department).

I had a Casio digital in the early 80's, but briefly, the plastic band and steel back were irritating, also I left it on the seat of the car on a hot day and when I got back to it the display was gone. That thing lasted about a week. Maybe they have worked this problem out since then, but it made me avoid cheap watches, particularly since wearing a wrist watch wasn't my thing, baby, yeah. Also I heard somewhere that Swiss Made watches were the best, but I couldn't verify that by my grandfather's Omega automatic, which I couldn't keep on my wrist for more than a half hour without getting a rash and many hairs ripped out of my arm. Maybe a worst-watch-ever thread is in order.  :D

I accidentally dunked my f-91w in a glass of water without noticing. It must have been in there for several minutes before I noticed. :ahhh :facepalm:

Maybe they have gotten better, dunno, not going to find out.  :D

Vic says I can run over my INOX with heavy machinery, float it to the stratosphere on a balloon, dangle myself from a helicopter, chuck it off a three story building, and burn it out of a block of ice with a torch. I think I'm good with that. What I like about it is the titanium doesn't give me a rash, it's the little things...  :)

Well Grant, I guess the topic just ran out of gas, that , or it was destined to crash and burn.

The takeaway appears to be - one person's worst is another's  " not so much"

I have a lot of weird, wacky and just plain unuseful MTs, tools like the Quirky is out there, but I think I agree, the SwissBricks are the worst.

I have a G Shock like that.  It is a GA-101 Dark Knight which looks amazingly cool in pictures.



As cool as it looks, it is extremely difficult to read at a glance.   :facepalm:

At least the hands aren't black, and it was a fraction of the price, but yeah if I have to dig out my reading glasses or start carrying an Explorer just to read my watch, then it's pretty useless other than jewelry.  :-\

Here's a $900,000 POS.  :D

Does it produce a drum roll when someone asks you what time it is, or what? Fanfare?  ???

The time it takes to read it would be more valuable to the person who could actually afford to buy the stupid thing.

For that amount of money, I would like some additional functions. Kitchen, living room, three bedrooms, car space with car, pool, garden, two washrooms, and a study.

Yes, it is indeed a much less expensive, slightly more useful watch, and so not as bad as the Omega, but trust me, the hands really blend into the other dials and hands and things and so you really have to spend time looking at it.

I bought the watch (or rather it was bought for me as a birthday gift) from someone here on the forum (yes, I know who you R  :pok:) and it is a beautiful watch that I very much enjoy having.  It's just not one I usually wear because it takes effort to actually see what time it is, and it seems I am a bit too lazy to spend time actually looking at a watch these days.  I have been spoiled by easier to read watches like the Orange Monster and various digital and smart watches I guess.
