Weird new Casio, AE-1700H

poorfag shitters

>>18556806
What even is the point of a rotating bezel on a digital watch?
Anyways, picrel is another new Casio.

>>18556821
one could also ask what's the point of making an analog dial if you're going to put a digital screen on it also.
but yeah, the bezels seem pretty stupid

This is the only collection a serious man needs. Anything beyond this is just frivolous and unnecessary. You may feel like you "need more" if you are effeminate but the truth is that there's neither point nor reason to go beyond these three watches.

>>18556806
It's a ProTrek, except it's not.

why does /fa/ need 10 watch threads?

Casios are bad and ugly. I know, i own five of them.

>>18556860
na they're kino

>>18556856
Each watchfag should have their own watch thread.
It's the only way to keep these autists from seething.

>>18556856
There are 3. This one for the discussion of watches, another one for the discussion of how many salesmen's dicks you had to suck for the privilege to buy overpriced status symbols that don't impress anyone, and one for memes.

>>18556867
Did you set the hands to hide the logo on purpose?

>>18556842
I went for Citizen cause I don't like changing batteries on a dive watch, and I dislike digital watches and all things that beep.
So I got a Komandirskie instead of the A158 and a hand-wound microbrand meme shitter instead of whatever that third thing is.
700€ total and I finished the watch game. Got a watch for every occasion, get compliments regularly (bitches keep asking if my Citizen is a Rolex, lol), and there's literally nothing else that interests me anymore.

My new daily, 180 euro pretty affordable. Definitely loving it and its beautiful IMO

>>18557012
There is no language in the world where Delhi is spelled like that. Also, why are (only some) cities spelled French, on a supposedly American watch?

About to pull the trigger, talk me out of it

>>18557025
Honestly mate no idea, I have only had it for a few weeks and I don't even know how to work that dial yet (any advice?) I still think its a pretty watch

>>18557031
As long as you know you aren't actually getting a watch built by German engineers, it's all good.

>>18556979
this pic got 17 upvotes on lemmy!

today's purchase

>>18557032
No worries, mate. I just tried to warn you that it's a fake Timex, but apparently they actually made this model with that spelling.

>>18557055
It's designed and assembled in Germany, with a Swiss movement. Pretty good.

>big hand is the head
>little hand is the tail
Casio... do this and my soul is yours

>>18557066
Yes, I know. And I hope you also know what that means.
Every single gear, jewel, lever and spring in that movement is made in China. The parts are then sent to Japan where the movement is assembled.
All parts other than the movement are also made in China. The parts are then sent to Germany, where the movement is placed into the case, the hands are attached, and the crystal is pressed in by a machine, accuracy is measured by a machine, it's regulated by pushing a lever, and the backplate is screwed on.
This is not a bad thing, and it's absolutely to be expected at this price point. I just don't want you to fall for the marketing.

>>18557072
Sorry I don't have any horse-cock-shaped watches.
Feel free to post yours, though.

I'm waiting for other colors or similar styled dials of pic related they'll release.

>>18557031
It's large. I have large wrists and hands and it's large on me.

So why is Vostok not restocking this Panerai lookalike in particular? The brown and blue dials are still being produced, but not this one. Was it actually a limited edition and they forgot to tell everyone?

>>18557058
Cool visual design, but not 15mm thiccness. Were you able to get it for $260?

>>18556860
Casio's regular, unreadable, negative face watches are sold as aesthetic accessories, but not really practical to use.

>the poorfag thread is the one with actual watch discussion
The absolute state of this board

>>18557032
Yeah I purchased it from the actual times website. Unsure on the spelling

$160. Pretty amazing what you get for the price. Much nicer made than my cheaper Seikos for less than half the price. BB58 homage by San Martin.

>>18557176
Really, at 42mm? My wrists are about 7.5, I've worn much larger

>>18557025
kek they managed to misspell a word

Still my favorite daily watch

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZyaKN9rgCCU

What do you think?

>>18557276
Beautiful watch, I thought of buying either that one or the speedtimer.

>>18557276
24h dial

>>18557321
Yeah that's how many hours are there in day.

>>18557326
practical if you forget if it's night or day

>>18557328
You just don't know military time soft belly.

>>18557251
How's the finishing? Is under the case/bracelet thoroughly finished and not sharp?

>>18557276
It looks like a re-edition, but I might be mistaken.

>>18556856
Because it's not in /g/ anymoar.

>>18557339
Pretty damn good. No sharp edges at all. The clasp and everything else has nice polished sides. The bracelet is probably most similar to my prospex Speedtimer. Has some good weight to it and feels way more premium than any of my sub $700 watches.

How do you guys keep track of the watches you're planning on buying in the future? Do you all maintain beautiful spreadsheets like I do?

>>18557425
Whenever I feel like buying a watch, I remind myself I can only wear one at a time. If you have more than 3 watches (1 for EDC, 1 for dressing up, 1 specialty), you're doing it wrong.

>>18557185
The machine making them is broken again and the guy who knows how to fix it died in Ukraine.

>>18557329
You need a dedicated subdial for that?

>>18557425
I used to have a list with all the watches i thought i liked. I came to my senses rather quickly after realizing that i don't actually like most of them.

>>18557171
Why does this trigger my gag reflex?

Yeah, your sister did a pretty bad job.

>>18557643
Sister? That was your mom you doofus.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJAL0W5p62M

They finally made a Khaki that doesn't say Khaki on the dial? I'm inclined to get this, it looks pretty nice. The white dial version looks like the cheapest possible Timex though.

>>18557087

i thought this thread was for enthusiasts

>>18557723
It's called European or Military Time.
Which is ironic, since Europe has no military.

>>18556812
All this proves is that Chinkshitters don't conform with 1st world regulations and just write whatever on the dial. What are you gonna do? Send it back to China for a warranty repair? Sue the Chinese government who owns the company for your $5 back?

he was making a joke.
you didn't get it.

>>18557788
mostly it was to counter the watch echo chamber that says big brand, cheap watches with WR 50 or 100 are scams and will break if you get caught in the rain or wash your hands with them on.
but in the case of chinkshitters, they really are that bad.

yeah that's gonna be a no from me dog.

>>18557425
How many do you plan to acquire?

>>18557954
I feel like an important part of the discussion people ignore is that a watch is rated for a certain depth at the time of it being brand new and gaskets and seals degrade in quality over time. So if you get a watch rated for 30m water resistance it will be more likely to become compromised in water resistance as it ages. The entire discussion is stupid anyway because you can get 200m rated dive watches from casio for like 50 bucks so its not like cost is even part of the debate here. At the end of the day why would I want to go swimming with an orient bambino on even if I could?

>>18558182
The day hand reminds me of an Oris Big Crown

Timex re-issue

China will grow stronger.

>>18558575
Not if they just keep making Sub clones.
The date Sub doesn't even look good, even Rolex fanboys agree on that. The reason people love it is that it's a true GADA watch built to the highest standard, and also a status symbol. You don't have to choose between the beater and the dress watch in the morning. The Sub is both.
And it signals even more status when it's scratched cause it shows you can afford to beat up a Rolex.
All of that is missing in the clones. They just signal that you can't afford a Rolex and don't know enough to wear something original.

>>18558587
>Wearing a watch as a status symbol instead of the tool it's meant to be
/wt/ is that way >>>

>>18558587
Steel sub is like 10k USD new. That's a quarter of the MSRP of a base model 2025 Mustang GT.
What favela are you living in that makes you see that as a status symbol?

>>18558595
LMFAO this it's the fuckign Brzilnog

>>18558595
>Steel sub is like 10k USD new
Plus another 10k you have to spend on the most boring watches in existence, to be "put on the list".

>>18556770 (OP)
Just in case you're considering this watch, you should know the bezel is fake. It doesn't rotate.

>>18556821
The dots on the display around the inside of the bezel represent seconds. (Probably can be changed to show minutes by pushing a button)
So you can use the rotating bezel just fine.

>>18558440
Came here to post this, the re issues are so dope

I thought chink watches were supposed to be cheap???

>>18558676
That is cheap for a limited edition hand-winding chronograph.

>>18558587
They make plenty of other things. If you're criticizing them for every brand having a submariner knockoff, every watch brand period has one.

>>18558595
>40% of americans living paycheck to paycheck, less than $1k of savings
>muh $10k is pennies what FAVELA do you live in
aaaah shit I've fallen for an obvious rage bait for poorfags in poorfag thread

>>18558595
But the Sub is a piece of jewelry you don’t need, and you can’t finance it, so you’ve gotta drop the whole pile of cash at one time.
That’s a way bigger conspicuous consumption hurdle than getting a loan for a $35k car. Mustang costs the same as a Camry, and it’s basically the same level of practical if you’ve got no kids.

>>18558676
This is so 100% typically Chinese. Seagull and Sea-Gull aren't the same company. Seagull licensed the right to make copies of Sea-Gull watches, cheaper, with worse QC and a display caseback.
Apparently it even confuses online shops.

i gotta admit, this is a sexy chink watch. anyone want to talk me out of buying it?

>>18558911
It's a GMT

>>18558991
Fully aware, yes

Ordered picrel a few days ago. I'm a hopeless poorfag and this is me owning it

>>18559017
It was my cope field watch for a while, I like it but it's kind of loud.

>>18559017
>>18559021
the light is cool as shit though, worth having for that alone

>>18559021
>it's kind of loud
The noise will motivate me to get my racks up so that I can buy a Junghans

just realized timex has a moonphase

watch id ?

The thing I love about tiny microbrands:
You can google what the woman doing QC looks like, whose hair is inside your watch.

>>18559064
Hublot Big Bang Meca 10 titanium

>>18559026
A field watch off that style is supposed to be cheap IMO. They were handed out to millions of grunts, after all.

>>18559096

>>18559064
>>18559117
hublot king power unico

>>18558911
see if it still looks sexy in an actual non-rendered photo, otherwise that's a nice watch. I like that they only put the logo on the dial and not the Chink company name.

>>18558911
It's battery Quartz. For that price you could already get a solar or automatic diver from Japan.

>>18559200
I prefer quartz watches

>>18559207
me too, but I prefer Solar or Kinetic over batteries.

Milsurp company Kommandostore are doing a reproduction of Soviet digital watches (when Casio was banned) Electronika / Melodiya Chn-55

Whats up guys anyone knowledgeable with Vostok here? People were talking about how buying watches off their website was not an option at the moment, has anyone purchased any of their watches from amazon? Are they real? They're only like 100 dollars with shipping, but anything I should know before I bite the bullet on one?

>>18559798
Amazon ones can be shady as can eBay, try to get the one you want on ScubaDude's store, either on his website or eBay. You can buy on vostok-watches24 as well for cheaper but you need to make sure they can ship to your country, otherwise you'll need to use a proxy shipping service.

>>18559801
Shady in what way? You mean they're fake? I want a Komandirskie but they're all sold out on the ScubaDude website in the styles I like. Amazon seems to have different bezel styles I can pick from as well and they're currently 25% off so cheaper than everywhere else too.

>>18559810
Some of the Amazon and eBay listings you see are frankenstein mods or replicas with only some original parts, but if the seller has enough good reviews it's probably fine

I'm looking for a cheap GMT watch that I could take to gym or on holidays and wouldn't need to worry about it. Quartz but if sweeping running seconds is a possibility that'd be great. Also if it could handle some swimming that'd help. Budget up to $400.

pic unrel, a cat I met in Italy and fed it some fine fucking beef. That mf probably won't taste anything like it for a long time

>>18559092
I'd pay extra for that.

>>18559821
I think I'm gonna give Amazon a try. The seller is "Vostok Trading" and I did some research on them using chatgpt, and mostly everyone on reddit and watchuseek is saying that they are legit. Only concern is that there seems to be long shipping times but that seems to be the case just about everywhere.

>>18559901
>I'm looking for a watch that I could take to gym
Don't do that only indians wear a watch in the gym, the only acceptable watch to wear in a gym is gshock, which also fits your needs.

>>18559930
>research on them using chatgpt
You cannot trust anything those models tell you, least of all on a subject this specific. DYOR!

>>18559937
is swatch acceptable tho? bright funky colors or white

>>18559974
No.

>>18559967
I asked for it to give me links to watchuseek and reddit threads because google's search engine is functionally useless now. It also found me a youtube video where someone opened one up that he bought off amazon and it has a legit movement inside.

>>18559990
Well, I guess that was a waste of time anyway. When you try to checkout on Amazon it tells you that it can't ship to US addresses.

>>18560026
Go on chrono24, lots of Vostoks sold from Poland there.

I just realized that if watches are people, mostly all have Asian blood. Mainly Chinese/Hongkees (almost all), then Malaysian (Seiko, Orient?), Filipino (Timex, Citizen), Thai (Casio, Orient, Citizen), Japanese (doubt it, they only took a vacation there).

>>18559030
If you want a cheap mechanical moonphase look at sugess

>>18558804
>he wants to finance a watch
literally if you can't buy the 35k car in cash at the given moment you shouldn't even be thinking about a 10k watch

>>18560154

I never take loans because of who owns the banks.

Mr Wonderful always says you should never take on debt to buy a watch, and I trust him implicitly

Scurfa makes dive watches that are a million times more durable than Rolex subs for 500 bucks. Keep coping

>>18560645
lmao the indices are mis-aligned even in their rendered promotional images.

>>18560674
yep

>>18560685
Huh?

>>18560154
Well, duh, I’m 100% against someone financing any type of watch.

That’s why I thought it was so crazy that the guy was saying a Rolex is “cheap” compared to a mustang or other low-medium performance car.
There’s no expectation that you’d buy a car straight up, but anyone financing a watch is an irresponsible moron.
Sure, if this guy thinks dropping $35k straight up on a mustang a minor purchase, then a Rolex is cheap, but no way is a guy like that on this website

>>18557708
it says power reserve 80 hours

I like everything about bertuccis except the name

>>18561612

I don't like that they have to be nato strapped. I also like the chink version better, specifically the brass and dial color/textures

replaced the clasp on my cheap bracelet with a cheap micro adjustable clasp yesterday. love it. the weather is hot and very humid here, I've needed this since forever

>>18562821
whoops

>>18562213
surprised they don't offer a cheaper quartz version, surprised there's not really any chink brands undercutting bertucci, no reason a plastic quartz watch should be $60-80

I want a red dial watch but I'm broke.

Russian military operations coordinated by Vostok watches would explain so much.

>>18563213
The "100m=330 feet" on the dial, without specifying it's water resistance so they don't legally have to test it, really is the cherry on top.

>>18563218

Hey guys what are you thoughts on this.
How do you wear this thing, is this thing /fa?
Could you wear this thing and be taken seriously by anyone except the most Diehard maga?

Its $500 USD Btw.

Craftmanship looks questionable compared to more established brands in the price point.

Does wearing this make me a President?

So many questions...

>>18563632
Looks like crap and probably costs $20 to produce

>>18563632
It's a Trump branded product, so it's made in China, sourced by the cheapest bidder, thinly gold-plated and sold at a 100x markup.
Maybe it will be useful as a signal to other Trumpists, proof you also let Trump fuck you in the ass without lube and charged you for the privilege.

>>18563758
they wont do shit, the reason for the collab its because its their 40th anniversary.

saw one of the staff wearing this at my uncle's mri today

>>18563703
I looked at the price and thought that's a joke right? Then I remembered how stupid tons of people are today, they're probably cuing for that slop. Personally if I were Trump I'd be embarrassed to have my name on such a shoddy made product at least have 2x the quality for that price even for your cult followers.

>>18564053
Doesn't suprise me. Alot of people that understand technology apreciate the craftmanship on the design and engineering end of Casio.
Some of their "50m" watches can actually do pressure tests exceeding 150m Vs most cheaper brands that break. Several guys on youtube ran tests it was a mini fad 5-10 years back.

>>18564062
If you were Trump you wouldn't be embarrassed. This is exactly what he's about.

>>18564078
Starting to believe you might be correct. A lot of cringe around this president unfortunately.

Reasons to never buy a used watch

>>18565075
>Stealth Blue Lives Matter watch.
seems weird they would pick a Harring/Basquait crown considering how much the right hates modern art. the crown is unmistakably Basquiat but the three lines suggest the homage Harring did when B died.

maybe this could talk you back into it?

public service announcement:
after giving my new mechanical a month's worth of full winds, I used the Watch Accuracy Meter app to regulate it. with the app I was able to see that my movement was fastest in 6 and 9 up position and slowest in 3 up, and that the delta or range between all positions was 26 seconds.

however, when I compared with observing the actual SPD over the course of a full day, my regulation I did with the app came out ~20 seconds faster than what it gave me. although, the delta was 23 seconds. so, the app's delta reading was basically accurate with the observed.

with this knowledge, I used the app to give me a "wrong" reading that came out to what I wanted IRL.

>>18565835
here is the observed data. the top row was after a "correct" regulation with the app.
second column is re-regulating to put the worst loss in 3 up position (which is only when my arm is vertical i.e. not often) and to be slightly fast in 6 and 9 up, which is arm at my side and arm resting on while seated. all the other positions are closer to 0 spd than these three so after fucking with the watch for a while I only focused on these extremes.

tl;dr the app was extremely useful but it had to be tweaked, at least for my particular watch.

I want to get my mom a snoopy watch but there's so many and the prices are all over the place

>>18565857
decided on this one

>>18565987
I want a Belka and Strelka watch but they're all frankenfakes by Ukrainian scammers

>>18566040
I just bought one not knowing any better, I hope it's still half decent >>18563439

>>18565883
Women seem to like Timex with Snoopy on the dial. I've seen a few wearing them.

What's a cheap watch that doesn't look like poorfag cope?

>>18566431
M5610

>>18565883
i like it

>>18566431
>doesn't look like poorfag cope?
to normies or to watchfags?

>>18566551
Yes.

>>18566040
Russian watches come frankensteined from the factory. That's just a fact of life when you buy into high horussology

>>18566431
A Rolex Submariner superclone. It IS the absolute cope watch, but no one except you will notice.

>>18566686
Smack your head with a hammer a few times and you won't notice it either

>>18566646
normies can be fooled easily.
watchfags will know poorfag cope when they see it, but there are cheaper watches that watchfags more or less respect.
someone posted an imgur link to a list of these type of watches a few threads ago, I'll see if I can find it.
also, chinese microbrands are offering the best value now but those brands are more likely to be interpreted as cope rather than Seiko, Citizen, etc. but I don't.

It'd be nice to see an updated version of this list. What would be on there?

>>18566787
None of the seikos, orients and citizens, thats for sure as aliexpress offers much, much better quality and materials for the price.

>>18566786
The part about crystals is just straight up lies. Wonder who the fuck came up with that bullshit about sapphire being vulnerable to shattering?

>>18566786
everything on there costs 2-3x the listed price now

>>18566944
go drop your sapphire watch on a tile floor

>>18567124
Are you suggesting that dropping a shitter with mineral glass on a tile floor will not brake it or what?

>>18566941
I'd keep the orients

ok, so let's make a new one.
I nominate the Baltany watches, although I'm not sure one has a stronger value than the others, they're all made with cheap, time-tested movements. you just pick the style or features you prefer. but there probably are some that stand out to people nerdier than me.

How is the readability on new negative display G shocks?

>>18566431
Any digital casio / g shock.

Here's my humble /pswt/ collection. What do you think?

Yes.

ahahaha

hi i just bought this today, is it good ?

>>18567531
Only get the MIP version.
If it's just a standard negative display and the unreadability becomes bothersome, you can mod the polarizing filter inside the module to make it a positive display.

>>18567740
Your dick is tiny lmfao.

>>18567623
Not my favorite Seiko 5, but it's a start. Consider putting on a good leather strap.

>>18557708
God this is ugly, the whole point of a field watch is to let the dial be as clean and legible as possible. This just defies the purpose.

>>18565690
desu most people should just buy this and a vintage omega and be done with it.

>>18567770
:p

which one?

open to suggestions for other silver digital watches

>>18567881
>security guard
Might as well just get a cheap positive display Skmei or Sanda if you want strong light for overnight rounds. Or get a Casio with "Illuminator".

How many shitters do you own /PSWT/?

>>18568065
never spent more than $400 on a watch, I own 6
Islander mitchel day-t dlc coated, rangeman 9400, casio duro green, a black timex expedition with a cream dial, a casio a168, and a thin caravelle with a stretchy steel band and blue dial

>>18568065
For ultra poorfag watches, around 8. They range from $3.50-$8. Mostly Skmei and Sanda. kek

>>18568065
It is sad to say, but 15.
I should sell most of them i just couldn't be bothered and nobody will probably buy them anyway.

>>18568065
I don't count.

>>18568088
>>18568099
Unfortunate mishmash of everything on this shitter. The best microturd in this style was the Monta before they fucked it.

>>18568125
It's for a 17 year old that likes purple, I think it's neat. What are your criticisms?

>>18568065
I guess most would count my Vostok as a shitter.
Although I've come to admire its design.
Russkies knew they can't build to western production tolerances or use luxury materials at this price point, so they designed the watch around what they could do, with some pretty creative hacks.
Like a friction bezel you can adjust by bending a wire.
The "over-wind protection" is just a tough spring mount that would require pliers to break.
The case pushes down on the gaskets so it gets more water resistant the deeper you go (The Amphibia is rated for 200m, but only fails at 800). The crystal is acrylic so it doesn't shatter and you can easily polish out scratches.
And the crown stem wobbles when you unscrew it so it won't break off.

>>18567881
whicch one has the best backlight? I dont see electroluminesence on any of them so maybe they all suck.

>>18568177
Vostok enrages me enormously with it's stupid design. Friction bezel might work at 200m underwater but i am not 200m underwater and this shit is never where you left it, the crown is moronic: if it stopped and you wind it up and then try to adjust time when you are done with time and screwing the crown back there is 80% chance for minute hand to move and you have to unscrew it back and adjust time again.
It is the worst watch i have ever come across.

>>18568208
Completely forgot, if you are unlucky enough to buy the model with date you will be jerking off that crown a lot since in it's whole history vostok couldn't manage to make a quick set date function.
God this shit makes my blood boil.

>>18568132
Just read the post monkey brains?

>>18568208
The bezel is adjusted to work under pressure cause that's what the watch is designed for. If it's too loose for you, you can adjust it to your liking.
And the watch was made for Russian soldiers and workers, who will only own one watch. So they'll keep it wound.
I agree, objectively it sucks. But it sucks in a way you can work around, if you use it the way it was designed to be used, and submit to its quirks. That doesn't make it a good watch, but it makes it an interesting one to have in the collection.

>>18568223
So it was designed stupid so they don't have to pay those capitalist pigs for their patents.
Patens expired ages ago, why can't they make a watch that i can buy and wear without having it finished by me?

>>18568253
If it is that easy to make a quality watch fully in-house and sell it for under $50 out the factory door, why don't you buy one off the many other manufacturers who do it?

>>18567881
If it's for work then honestly go for the silver royale. It has 5 alarms that you can use for reminders during your shifts and a much better backlight than the ones you posted.
If you REALLY want the "small casio" look then get an a168w since it's the exact same as the a158w but with better backlight (at the expense of having uglier aesthetics on the face but hey, it's for work, not for going out)

i work at day i dont need or care about the light
its rather shit tho i agree

the only feature i need for "work" is a digital 24hr / 12hr toggle

>>18568786
Skmei 1123 has a 12/24 hr presser (I have one). Other models including Sanda also should have one, also Casio. Bottom right (world time) doesnt have it, (I also have one). Not sure with the other ones in the photo.

>>18568088
>>18568099
How's the bracelet?

>>18568805
is that not just a ripoff casio brand
i dont want that man... ew

>>18568873
Swiss brands also have a ripoff of other brands. Count that too.

>>18568867
comfy, but the micro adjustment mechanism is a bitch

>>18568786
Out of the ones you posted I like the top left the best, but I'd really try to get one with a decent illuminator backlight in case you do need it at night.
