watches are technology and serve a practical purpose, not an accessory exclusively. you'll have to go back.

>>105913430

yeah the watch that's in your phone or smartband/smartwatch

boomer watches' purpose is fashion

>>105913795
It's very scary that zoomers have jumped back a hundred years to the pocket watch because they can't read analog clocks anymore. I can't imagine carrying my phone around with me all day, but I have a soul, which is something you'll never understand.

My watch is a custom one, only fags buy pre-built watches.

>>105913882
I certainly don't care about millennial "soul"slop

funny how you ignored that you can get a smartband you don't even notice you're wearing just so you can say some bs about "going back" to pocket watches lol. even if you could only carry your phone, it's still a computer vs a dumb watch

>>105913998
A smartband is slop. It's another piece of garbage you have to charge daily because, again, you don't have a soul.

I don't need a computer when I'm outside because I'm not a fucking moron. My watch tells the time, it does it day in, day out, and in 15 years when the oils start drying up, I'll swap in another 30 dollar movement and keep enjoying having the time on my wrist.

>>105914025
>mechanical
>not thermocompensated quartz

>>105914056
I don't need sub minute accuracy, and mechanical is within that over half a year. Is quartz better? Sure. But you can't buy parts that don't suck, because quartz has become the "cheap" option.

>>105912179 (OP)
bought it for the meme, it's really nice because I don't expected it to be slightly more accurate than my phone's clock

Apple Watch series 10

I don't wear a watch but if I did it would this one

Don't fall for OPs watch, it looks cool but god damn the analog watch is a bitch to set - it only goes forwards and it's easy to blow past the intended time. It does NOT track the digital watch portion.

>>105914175
so? it's the everyday man's GMT-Master

I've been wearing a Casio Illuminator for 2 years now. It's not the best looking thing, but I just can't justify replacing it.

Older model, but I like the style better than current.

>>105914175
you mean it's 2 independent clocks so it's like a gmt thing

this is japan technology appreciation thread btw

>>105914096
It's going to be consistently less accurate than your phone.

>>105916767
NTA, but the big advantage over a phone or a smartwatch is the 7 year battery life. Plus, the Sheik approves.

I finally got my grail watch

Big fan of the WVA-M630 Solar WaveCeptor series.

>>105917179
This watch with a proper strap that wouldn't fall apart would go pretty hard.

>>105917493
I put it on a cheap blue silicone strap, works pretty qell

>>105917787
Yeah, but then you lose the ghosts. That's half the watch, in my opinion.

>phone or smartband/smartwatch
>implying
>>105916993
i think im gonna need the sauce, that is, for the model and that ass.

>>105918727
I guess the bulk is due to their durability, but I'm not entirely sure casio even makes a product that isn't more than durable enough. Like, a basic a168 or f91w will take some fucking abuse and still work, some people will even go diving with these fuckin' things far beyond their water resistance rating and they'll still be fine

You may prefer other watches, but you would be wrong.

>>105919060
model? i think it could be a bit sportier but looks nice

>>105919060
my seiko couldnt keep the date

I think you probably need 2 watches: an apple watch for day-to-day health monitoring and a nice seiko for formal occasions.

If you are very rich, I can maybe see the need to have 2 seikos: one silver and one gold.

But the people who just have dozens of watches need to get their heads checked. So much money wasted, so much mental energy devoted to something that is obsolete.

fuck fashion, what's the most gizmofag watch there is?
i want a flashlight, a spirit level, a stripping pin-up, a survival whistle, and an hour indicator hand

>>105919403

>>105921904
I don't care, I just wanna borrow cool aesthetics while pissing off boomers. "Serve the People" is a good slogan, and I have heard people speak highly of the sea-gull movement.

if you want Chinese gummie aesthetics check out the seagull 1963

>>105912179 (OP)
On my wrist right now

i got a question
what is the most rugged and durable watch ever i am looking for the best one

>>105922301
what are your requirements? There are things like the Rolex Deep Sea, and then there is G-Shock which are intentionally made durable. That being said a simple non-gshock casios like>>105914096 etc will be more than rugged and durable enough for 95% of situations.

>>105922379
yea something like that
the rolex is def out of my price range
mayble something like the gshock series watches from casio btw what is their best one for durability in their lineup? i want like the best of the best

>>105922481
So more into about what you want would be helpful. Do you have a price range in mind? Are you concerned about aesthetics or just durability? Mechanical or quartz? How important is water resistance and how much etc?

>>105922517
1. $500
2. i dont really care about the aesthetics i won't really mind i wish it will like look those old panasonic toughbooks but that is just a bonus
3. preferably quartz
4. things like water resistance for durability and etc are really important

>>105922535
G-Shock all day anon. You should easily be able to find a variety of choices to fit your needs at or below $500

>>105919060
mechannical watches require taking care of
the quarts watches take care of you.

A Casio Lineage is one third of the weight, keeps it's own time through the radio tower, gets it's own power from the light, can show you the time zones when travelling or stopwatch for cooking and doesn't require a single thing from you, there's no servicing, no winding, no resetting them, they onlyh do things for you and never ask anything back

Of and it's also slim so you don't look stupid with a watch rolling your sleeve up.

>>105922590
>A Casio Lineage

>>105922590
>mechannical watches require taking care of
My NH36 was 30 bucks, when it starts losing time in a decade I'll just buy another one. It's a workhorse movement, and it's accurate enough with a bit of regulation. I have to change the time every 6 months for DST, which takes 20 seconds, and reset the date every other month, which takes 5.
>A Casio Lineage is one third of the weight,
A quick check shows a Lineage at 73g. My mechanical is 93 grams, and that's with a full beefy bracelet that's a lot nicer than the cheap garbage Casio will give you, and it's made of steel instead of titanium. I'm very particular about weight.
>keeps it's own time through the radio tower, gets it's own power from the light,
Radio time is nice, but it's not perfect. Solar power is meaningless vs automatic power, I had more issues keeping my solar watch powered up due to time spent under artificial lighting, it would frequently drop to medium power.
>can show you the time zones when travelling or stopwatch for cooking
All of my experience of Casios is that the buttons are fucking fiddly garbage and a hassle to use. I have never enjoyed pushing those things, I have nothing but nice experiences with a fat diver crown.
>and doesn't require a single thing from you,
Neither does a mechanical.

>it's also slim
This is the one good thing about quartz/radio watches. But mechanicals offer a lot more in terms of customisation and part quality, I can get nicer dials, nicer hands, proper bracelets that aren't folded link garbage.

I got a copycat of one of the citizen watches off of AliExpress. Actually looks pretty cool.

Seiko automatics look cool, but it's a shitty movement for the price. You can get a Tissot Silicium for a fraction of the price of a Grand Seiko that blows it away in terms of accuracy.

>>105927230

hello

>>105927822
no, they're fine

Replace my F-91W battery for the first time since I bought it.
So far it's been 3 bands and 1 battery, and the watch just keeps on giving. I really wish Americans did not have to ruin Japan, and we would have tech that would last the same.

are Garmin watches worth the price?

>>105928303

>>105929145

Well
>Would you recommend it as an actual day to day watch?
Yes
>What are some things you don't like about it?
Nothing. It's a watch and it looks cool. It keeps the time. I like it.

This is my daily driver and I also have a flashy yellow/black gshock for snorkeling/sports.

Lately have been thinking about getting more serious about cardio tho, and since I own a galaxy phone I've been thinking about getting a galaxy watch 7 but I just can't justify spending >200€ on a smartwatch. I just ordered from aliexpress a 3€ chinkshit and if the bp sensor works I'll be happy with it since it's 90% of what I want from a smartwatch.

>>105935933
Our taste might be different but is it worth double the price?

>>105936439
Nta but it does have double the water resistance rating, so... I guess?

I wear a casio a700we

>>105937360
Very nice and clean look.

>>105937360
just get a gshock

>>105917179
Where'd ya get it?

I bought pic related a decade ago, I wear it every day. It runs a little fast but I don't mind. It matches everything I wear and I love the simple clean look. I think the company went out of business though

>>105918727
I usually just wear the 'unisex' (that is, the women's one) because the size of modern g-shocks are ridiculous, the unisex ones are actually a reasonable size

>>105937486
then youd get a protrek but most ppl here are smelly bottom feeders

Hello I am from India. This is a vintage mechanical watch the Indian military was issued(the original back was steel only and this is a mod) back before our economy was globalised in 1991. I am proud of it. The movement is a licensed citizen clone, look up HMT - it's a state owned Indian watchmaker - serious collectors and hobbyists around the world including in the west go for these.

I have several casios and Timex watches too but nobody is going to post an HMT here so yeah that's why.

Oh inb4

I don't want special treatment, by all means call me a faggot and a curry nigger. But appreciate that people build good watches around the world. The only thing that'd make this thread for me is a Russian posting a Vostok.

>>105937406
thanks, I treat it pretty terrible though, it's gotten really scratched up and it's rusting
might as well call it character or something
>>105937412
not effay enough and too bulky for my 7inch wrist

>>105936439
The only issue with the duro is it's 44mm so there is a minimum wrist requirement. Otherwise yes that is infinately better looking and doesn't have that disgusting resin bezel that is going to scrape off. If you want you could go on ali express and get one of the cheap brands like addiesdive or watchdives. You can get an nh35 or seagull mechanical watch for the price the duro costs.

>>105928303
Addiesdive field watch. Before trump I got one for $56. I haven't looked since trump ruined ali express, but you could get a seagull nomos knockoff for around the same price and pagani omega knockoffs with nh35s for the same price.

>>105923143
please do some pushups

>>105936439
Yes, it is a beautiful watch. Just a heads up, the models with metal bracelet are the ones with a stainless steel dial, the ones with the rubber band have a resin dial. Does not make a huge difference but I felt a bit lied to when I got picrel and saw that the dial was made of plastic

>>105935707

>>105937561
>17 jews
damn

>>105937885
Thanks man, but to be fair I got into watches because of these threads more than a decade ago and that's why I have Casios too. I stopped wearing watches for a bit and abandoned everything in a drawer for a while and now that I am picking back up I felt nothing for any of the Quartz watches I own including the Casios so I let them be and just started wearing the HMT and Timex mechanical(including automatic)watches I own. I have no idea if I will even bother replacing batteries in any of my Quartz but I certainly don't have the heart to throw them out. They were a part of me and it'd be like throwing a past self out.

>>105937918
Well I see people posting coveting HMTs especially if New Old Stock around the internet so that's why I say they are sought after.

As for the case on my Jawan, no I got a new case it's likely aftermarket not an original polished case.

>>105937561
what are the street prices for an old HMT in India? And where can you get it?
I like old Vostoks and Poljots, so this is right up my alley.

>>105938370
Modded HMT mechanical watches are between 2-3k INR and New Old Stock around 8K INR.
Not sure about international shipping but in India you can try these
watchtopia.in
watchitmove.in

Besides the f91w for /out/ activities, I got this for $45 from skywatches almost 10 years ago and it works perfectly.

>>105938370
you're asking for mumbai special

>>105938577
it's now 100+ if you find it at all

so.................... how do you make that watch to make boom ? (technology related)

>>105938649
probably solder it to the beeper and set the timer

>>105938678
dam that's dead simple

>>105937561
I once bought an HMT watch off ebay when I first got into watches, it was a janata model, one thing I remember was that the packaging was tremendously elaborated, probably the most care put into a package, like it was a inside a case with polystyrene beads, which was inside another case with extra polystyrene panels. I thought it was funny that so much care was put to protect it when the watch price was really cheap. As for the watch, I have no complains of it really, as I bought it of pure curiosity as a mechanical watch being sold so cheap. I later traded it as payment for a different one, so you could say I even made a little profit off it, but you know, seeing as they're being sold with custom casebacks, I might be tempted to buy one again, just for the novelty of it.

>>105938750
thats only part of it ofc the beeper has very low voltage so youd need an additional circuit for the bomb.

I like this type of watches. It looks no-bullshit violent. Straight arrows like swords. Brushed metal and rubber straps with design of a gun grip. Totally would go great with some vintage scrambler bike and leather jacket.

>>105940202
i just need a dumb watch with big dumb numbers and the day cause im scattered brained. it was either a gsock or a smart watch for me. the smart watch woukd of been better cause it can set appointments but id need to charge it.

I have this (b650), and all i want from Casio is more minimalistic version of this. Elon Musk was 100% correct with Cybertruck design.

So make the display take up the whole front face, and get rid of outdated words taped everyhwhere ("illuminator", "alarm", everything except i guess you want to leave "casio")
thats all i want.

>>105940202
a watch is more than a dial or case

>>105931455
I have one of the cheaper ones, forerunner 255 music. I'd definitely recommend it if you run even occasionally.
I charge it once a week. NFC payments work well IF your bank supports it (only a handful do).

I installed a third-party compass app which was very useful when travelling. It's one of only a few high-quality worthwhile third party apps though, and I found out why when I took a look at the SDK... it's limited and you need to use their own custom programming language. I appreciate that's probably a necessary tradeoff for battery life though.

Mine has a MIP display. Unfortunately it's the last Forerunner model to have one, the newer ones all have OLED displays. There are pros and cons to that but I'd say MIP is definitely preferable for something you'll mainly be glancing at in sunlight. Only some overpriced high end models (Fenix) are still available in MIP.

>>105940466
why would a compass be useful for traveling?
do you actually read maps?

>>105940306
I think you’re half right, I literally bought my Casio watch because it has least the text

>>105940554
Easy to get turned around in a new city. I didn't want to be a slave to google maps on my phone, but did want a quick sanity check that I was heading in the right direction.

>>105938517

That watch is a Seiko 5, which was like $80 new. Sadly they've changed the style and they're all pigfat shitters now -- they also upped the price to $300 or some shit.

you would need to stick geiger-muller tube in it and it would be twice as thick because of it.

>>105947390
>>105947092
>>105946828
You know, just because something has a symbol on it doesn't mean that it detects what that symbol represents

I was gonna buy a smartwatch during prime sales but didn't
the day the sales end I go look at the watch and there's a new banner on the page - frequently returned item

>>105947429
What's the minimum size a geiger-counter can be?

>>105947460
>smartwatch
For what purpose?

>>105947498
not too small, you need to have a tube of a sensible size to catch radioactive particles. if you make it too small sometimes you catch something, most times you don't catch anything so the error is so big it doesn't really tell you shit

>>105947505
I wanted something to track my runs but they keep recommending I get a $500 garmin watch for that. I thought some $200 Huawei watch would be sufficient and then I see it's returned all the time.

>>105947430
