Nice watch and I am really liking the magnetic straps

Thanks.

Day 72.

Today, a Kyboe! Silver Hunt 55 Mariner found itself on my wrist. This watch features 10 Bar water resistance and a weird LED system that lights up a dot at every hour marker. This watch is a beast.

Found this 3D portrait of my girlfriend's cat. It is about 95% accurate. Had to get it for her once I laid eyes on it.

Like the green

Chako · **Reply #276 on:** August 24, 2019, 07:45:45 PM

I think it is one of the nicer colours...but if you look into them, they have more colour options than you could ever imagine.

Day 73.

Next up is a Wrist Armour USMC watch. Built like a tank...literally.

Wspeed · **Reply #278 on:** August 24, 2019, 08:02:30 PM

That is a great looking watch with the red detailing Chako

Chako · **Reply #279 on:** August 25, 2019, 12:05:17 AM

It is eye catching.

I thought I saw a super nova in daylight today. Turns out you were wearing the Techno Bling.

Day 75.

I wore a Fossil dress watch today. Love the blue face, and the leather bracelet is super comfortable as it is one of those pre-shaped straps.

Wspeed · **Reply #285 on:** August 27, 2019, 01:16:01 PM

Nice colour blue

Chako · **Reply #286 on:** August 28, 2019, 12:35:11 AM

Thanks. I do have a soft spot for blue watches.

Day 76.

Today, a cheaper line from Fossil. I forget the brand name...however it is not marked on the watch..front or back. This is a not that bad automatic.

We had seen a few photos on Facebook about how the St. Mary's River is so high, that it is flooding the boardwalk. We decided to take a look. From the vehicle, we couldn't see much, and decided to go further along the River to Bellvue Park which is still in the city.

Yes, the water is high. Probably the highest since the mid 80s. The water has reached higher than the usual large stone blocks that line the river at the park.

Forgive my terrible horizon line. I was trying to line up the arm.

We walked a little down the pathway in the park and spied a goose of a different mother from the usual Canada geese that we get plenty of. I recalled that his bird is a bit special as I had read about him a week ago. Here is the article....

So I was a bit surprised to see him sill here right in front of me. I took a few crappy cell phone photos of him.

Afterwards, we ended up at the Golden Dragon for a good Chinese meal, and a better photo of the watch.

Nice watch with the Roman numerals

gerleatherberman · **Reply #288 on:** August 28, 2019, 05:04:39 PM

Nice automatic, Chako!

Chako · **Reply #289 on:** August 28, 2019, 07:58:36 PM

Thanks guys.

Day 77.

Got a Nixon on tap for today. Very comfortable watch...but the bracelet is made from very soft suede leather that has the tendency to absorb water like it is nobody's business.

Today I decided to take the bushhawk camera rig out to see if I could get some better photos of the Greater White Goose.

Wspeed · **Reply #291 on:** August 28, 2019, 08:53:30 PM

Looks a comfortable watch to wear and nice pics Chako

Chako · **Reply #292 on:** August 28, 2019, 09:36:47 PM

Thanks Wspeed.

Day 78.

I bought this cheap Skechers watch at Walmart. It was rather attractive in that it also had an LED function. It is their Lawndale model. However, the super cheap silicon bracelet broke as there wasn't enough meat around one of the pins. It tore rather easily. I replaced the bracelet with a Leatherman Tread after buying an aftermarket adapter.

The Lawndale is a fairly large watch in need of a replacement bracelet. It is dark, and contrast nicely with the stainless steel of the Tread. They kinda look nice together. I did have to remove 4 links to fit it to my wrist. In these photos, the minute and hour hands look like they would be very hard to see, however, in actual use, they shiney metal hands contrast easily against the darker watch face. No lume...but then, with a press of a pusher, the central LED lights up nicely.

Wspeed · **Reply #294 on:** August 30, 2019, 01:47:52 PM

Looks good with the Tread

Chako · **Reply #295 on:** August 31, 2019, 12:59:04 AM

Day 79.

A Techno King Ruby World for today. We went on a short day trip back to Manitoulin Island.

Breakfast in Blind River at Subway.

Back in the Sault.

Wspeed · **Reply #296 on:** August 31, 2019, 03:11:43 PM

Wow you can’t miss that watch

Chako · **Reply #297 on:** August 31, 2019, 10:45:36 PM

A loud watch for sure.

Chako · **Reply #298 on:** August 31, 2019, 10:48:19 PM

Day 80.

Wow...another banner moment. I have worn 79 different watches to get here...and my journey has take the same amount of days. Today, a Fossil The Minimalist gold tone watch.

Here I am having a good breakfast at a place called :The Cup and Cone in the Market Square Mall in the Sault. They make really good breakfasts for a very nice price. Appears to be very popular with the older crowd. Surprised I don't see any younger folks frequenting this restaurant however. Funny how that goes.

Looks nice

And so does the watch
