Watches... what do you guys/gals rock?

[Soyabean]

No issues with mine so far ( 7 years & counting). It is stored in a location where the dial is getting at least 4+hrs daily sunlight.

Thanks SirWanker. It is probably right because I dont charge it properly as it barely comes out. I have since left it on the kitchen table where it gets decent amount of lighting and it is working fine since this weekend

no issues with any of mine. Mine seem to hold a charge for a very long time even without being in sunlight.

It is probably because yours was properly changed. I got mine recently and it went into my watch box right away without charging it hence it doesnt last because it was never properly fully charged

Been 7 years+ since I've worn this, but new leather strap and battery and she's good to go

Have any of you guys got a Truwood watch? I was thinking about getting it as a gift, the reviews seem ok, wondering if anyone has some experience.

Looking at this one:

tru"WOOD" [/chuckle]

Noticing a lot of "wood watches" lately.. not sure how the band would feel. Looks uncomfortable

The '91 tissot wood face I have uses a leather strap

Sold my SKX007, got a SKX031 instead (scored it for $67 from eBay, so I actually made money on the switch).

Been getting back into watches again lately and have been peeking through this thread again. I have had my eye on an SKX007J1 - how did you like it for daily wear? Did you find it kept good time? Thinking I'm going to grab a couple of nato straps for it and swap them out for variety. Want to get something nice enough for daily wear without being overly dressed up or dress down. 2 cents?

Another SKX007 owner chiming in. Excellent as a beater watch that looks great with most straps ( metal; nato; rubber or leather ).
As for keeping time, mine runs a little fast and needs correcting once in a while.

New addition to the mix...

Awesome, thanks for the reply! The versatility as far as straps go is a big draw for me. I've also been very happy with my current Seiko. As far as time corrections go, doesn't sound like I need to be too concerned. Thanks for the input!

*edit* Any experience with/preference between Seiko's automatics vs solar?

[SirWanker]

No experience with Seiko's solar technology but if it is similar to Casio's, make sure the watch is stored in a well lit location where the battery can recharge, especially if you do not wear the watch for an extended time period. Otherwise the battery will drain and you have a paperweight. Mind you, if you know when it will be worn again, just allow the watch to recharge prior to the date ( with time and date adjustment obviously).

With automatics, just shake a couple of times, adjust the time and date and you're good to go.

Perfect, appreciate the reply. Probably order the SKX007 tonight then!
