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

[Zaku_4]

Thanks guys! I am pretty happy with it. I got a new strap and mis-measured, so ended up with an 18mm strap when it fits a 20mm. I'll probably replace it one day but for now I'm happy with the fit!

I really like that Crown & Buckle strap, maybe something alone those lines


thats interesting. a quartz movement and tritium lume? is it also sapphire?

[Sivart444]

Yeah it is an interesting combination for sure. I hadn't even considered it could be sapphire but now that you mention it, it is 20+ years old without a knick anywhere on the crystal.. Hmm. Triton lume and swiss quartz movement. Coudl be re-lumed for sure.

I just don't like the fact that without a smartphone link, they are useless.

Not quite. Works perfectly fine as a watch without being linked to your phone. When linked to the phone, it is useful to avoid having to look at the phone when getting text messages. The nice part is that you have a watch, but when you have your phone near you, you also have an external screen for notifications.

a bunch of fossil's about 7-8. have a g-shock for work. michael kors. a rollie.......yes i know and my favorite watch a brand called black eagle bought in portugal just beautiful and simple watch

[Sivart444]

The Pebble looks much better on a bracelet. I do like the idea but i'm so much more in love with the mechanics of an automatic watch. Even a nice quartz, its got some soul. I have enough gadgets and even though i see the appeal i won't get one until its been dialed in a little more

Let's see some pictures people!

I have an original pebble now but am tempted to buy the v2 steel.

Honestly I wasn't even aware of it until now. These aren't really on my radar, to be honest I really like the analogue angle to my watches. Plus I switch them so often I wouldn't get enough regular use out of it.

[Aitch]

In other news I'm pretty damn certain I'm going to get one of the new Cerberus (http://www.lewandhuey.com/cerberus/)by Lew & Huey. It just hits all the right notes for me.

My latest purchase was also a blue/orange watch that I've wanted for awhile, finally managed to pick a used one up for cheap. Fossil CH2846, reminiscent of the Tudor Heritage Chrono:

Thanks! They just brought out an updated version, with a blue bezel and black date wheel. Really nice but I still wouldn't pay $200 USD (or $280ish CAD) for the MSRP. $50 off of eBay is acceptable though haha.

Bought this vintage Seiko at a flea market for 15 bucks on Sunday. Then I stopped by my uncles and he gave me a box of old watches he got from his dad. Need straps but they all run!

Wearing this Timex today, needs a better strap though

oh my, my dad has the same gold Seiko lol
vintage indeed

[Sivart444]

Awesome! They are all in running condition which is a plus! Took some cool Macro's / photos of each that i will post at a later time.

After a bit of research, the Bertmar i got was manufactured in Illinois in 1887! Movement is immaculate and so far its keeping perfect time. Doesn't appear to have ever been worn.

Wow, that strap is awesome. Where'd ya get it?

[Aitch]

I actually traded for it on WUS, so unfortunately I don't know the original source. Was planning on putting it on another watch but as soon as I got it, I felt it would only be right on a watch with hidden lugs. Luckily I have one of those haha.

Nice buy!

The Seiko5's are great. Although the movement doesn't allow for hand winding which is a little odd.

[Aitch]

That's the only thing I dislike about mine. Although new releases are using an updated movement that hacks and handwinds (the old 7s26 movement has been discontinued).

Curses..... if you search this thread you'll find that I expressed my distaste for replica watches, although I like "homages" (different brands with similar designs). But I haven't yet found an homage which really scratches the itch for an Omega Speedmaster.

Then I discover there is a replica which uses a proper mechanical chronograph movement (Seagull ST19).....

loki B/c of daycare etc, see previous discussion haha.

Believe me I want a genuine one and I appreciate their value, but it's not in the cards at the moment. Plus I love having some variety, I'm not sure I would be happy going from 6-7 watches to 1.

I'm not saying I'll buy a replica. But one having a quality mechanical movement has my trigger finger itchy.

[Timotee]

Anybody here dealt with Authenticwatches.com? Been reading mixed reviews as they somewhat deal with "grey market" stocks, cheaper than the authorized dealers but will not have any international warranty.

[eqlso]

Don't know much about watches, but this is the one I wear now. Wife got it for me. A little heavy, but very happy with it.

Like my Fossil so much I bought a second...

Not really. Finally found a new one with a bracelet and unscratched crystal for a good price. Old one is for sale now.

Bought this yesterday to use as my every day watch. Found a good price for it and pulled the trigger. This is the stainless steel version, the black ecodrive posted last week is the same model but titanium. Really happy with it! http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/11/02/2faf9afa68b5bdc2f9474ff985984b66.jpg

I was Fred Flintstone for Halloween, and even though Fred never wears a watch, I decided to wear my PAM000560 because it has a light brown leather strap that *could* have been acceptable in the town of Bedrock. :D

Good enough to make GQ's top watches of 2014 list (#15) good enough for me! My wife actually got it for me for my b-day along with a watch box for my expanding collection......she had a really tough time finding this one and had a few jewlers and shop owners here in the GTA tell her they couldn't get it and 'good luck in finding it'.

I'll snap a pic of my collection sometime and post it - nothing extravagant but it's coming along.

Pretty cool!

Grabbed a reproduction Tudor dial to go in my Parnis "Submariner". Some say replica, I call it a mod. This isn't a replica of any specific watch, since Tudor didn't make a Submariner with this dial or bezel insert.

I know Timex makes one with a compass, thermometer, and tide guide.

Micro-brand update!

Another free watch giveaway from Lew & Huey (http://virl.io/VgWaXJB)!

They're giving away 2 Orthos dive watches on Dec 16th. All they need is your email and you can unsubscribe from any newsletters afterwards. Enter here (http://virl.io/VgWaXJB).

The Legends Kickstarter project (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lewandhuey/the-legends-racer-from-lew-and-huey-inspired-by-le) is running too. Pretty much the best take on the Tag Heuer Monaco that isn't a direct ripoff IMO. If you want one make sure you back the KS; if it doesn't get funded it probably won't get made.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/002/913/344/3cffff297518b817b31a01e29d70c8de_large.jpg?1416021 192

Polish brand G Gerlach is planning a retro dive chronograph. 200m water resistance and a Seiko mechanical/quartz hybrid movement (battery operated, but a 1/5s chrono function which snaps back mechanically). Named the Enigma, as it was actually Polish engineers that cracked the WWII German Enigma coding machines. 4 color variations planned. Total price under $250 US, reserve now for about $50 US (http://sklep.gerlach.org.pl/index.php?route=product/category&path=81)!

http://sklep.gerlach.org.pl/image/cache/data/enigma_kw-500x500.jpg

Lastly, Canadian brand Helgray is about to launch their Kickstarter project for the Silverstone chronograph, which uses the same Seiko movement as the G Gerlach watch. Again 4 color combinations, target price is under $300, but the early Kickstarter backers will get some significant discounts.

Anyone use a heart rate monitor watch?

I have a 10 year old Timex Ironman, but I can't find the damn chest strap thing, so now it's just a watch, no heart rate :p

I figured I'd spend a few bucks on a newer one.
The Polar ones look pretty snazzy, but it looks like you have to buy the wireless USB dock separately? Anyone have any recommendations?

But I gotta say that I highly doubt it's real.

Long story short - my brother was touring Asia for three weeks and coincidently ran into a friend of mine who knows I'm into timepieces. He took this off his wrist and told my brother it's a gift for me.

That being said - my buddy is pretty well off - but again - I doubt he'll give over a $5K watch

My collection has been dormant for a little while now. I'm also a member of WUS and was very active a few years back. Built up a nice little collection and was ok even with a car payment. Then came the mortgage and now a baby; and it's completely come to a stop. I'm now so lazy and don't even bother wearing them most days which is a shame. But a natural hoarder I'd never sell either. Lol.

So many boutique brands that build nice quality pieces. I've got two Stowas which I think are great value and also prices have appreciated since I've acquired them which is a nice surprise. But with our dollar the way it is. I don't see myself buying anything soon. I got a news letter for a new blue dial Sinn 103. I'm in love.

This afternoon, I checked out the recently released TAG Heuer Connect smart watch at a Birks...way too big for my wrist...46mm. With the CDN in the tank, I thought it would have been close to $2000, but to my surprise it was $1650. They only had the red band, was told that the black band was on back order by about 2 to 3 weeks.

[RTEnthusiast]

I'm not quite on board with smart watches yet. I consider a watch an accessory, a part of one's identity. Then again, I'm old fashioned in this regard.

Cream dial Orient flight watch. My daily beater. I work in a chemistry lab so I always run the risk of spilling chemicals on it or banging it against things while working, wouldn't want to wear anything overly nice to work (not that I can afford a nice watch anyways).

[Aitch]

Orients are great for everyday wear but some of them are great quality too.

[RTEnthusiast]

I like that Orient a lot.

Very nice! I have a different Eco drive and I love it. Orange and black is my weakness.

Has anybody had any issues with the straps on a n EcoDrive?

My boss has had to replace his after 3 months.

Then again he hasn't confirmed if it is a replica or original. Apparently he proudly owns 4 replica watches in his "collection" :rolleyes

I didn't use the strap that it came with. I put a NATO strap on from day one. The leather one it came with was pretty lame though.

[ski-guru]

the only strap i had an issue with was with my primo. The buckle broke, sent it in to citizen and they replaced it for free since it was only a couple months old. The new one has been able to take quite a beating.

I wear the one in the pic above as my daily wearer. No issues with the strap. I've had it about 1.5 years now

Another one to add to my collection......the sweeping second hand on this Accutron is simply relaxing........i just love how it glides/flows.

Recently jumped to the world of smart watches and got the Asus Zenwatch 2 for the past few months now.

Overall, functionality, quality and value for the watch is really good. The battery life also lasts for 1.5 days with full use of the watch (step counter, using it for phone calls, changing music tracks). I really like the customization of smart watches and that you can change the face anytime and it doesn't break the bank unlike other smart watches.

For you guys who have an eco drive watch, do you find that the battery sucks? I leave mine on my desk where there is regular lighting but my time is always off even after I fix the time right like the day before? Maybe I need to fix mine

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.

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

I run the Fossil QFounder watch. Looks pretty good, and isn't overly complicated. Does notifications and step counts and the Google voice stuff works pretty good (talking to your watch, which I use when driving to trigger things on the phone hands free).

Overall great little smart watch if you're not looking to invest in stupid money.

As with all smart watches, gotta charge daily which is somewhat annoying but I just charge when I get to my desk in the AM.

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

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

[dexter]

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?

[shawnmcw]

For the last few months i've been wearing a garming fenix 5hr watch

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.

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!
