Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

I never thought I’d get a smartwatch, but I did. It’s a Samsung S3 Gear Frontier. I purchased it based on the excellent reviews I’ve watched on youtube. Right now it’s charging, so I can’t give my opinion yet. I purchased it from BestBuy for $299.99

This is the only watch I own. My oldest son and my wife got it for me for fathers day 15 years or so ago. Don’t know if it’s a decent one or, a not so decent one. It’s the only watch I have ever owned or worn. Keeps good time and only needed 1 battery in 15 years.

Sad news about my newly purchased Hamilton mechanical watch. The crown shaft broke by simply winding it. It was most definitely not overwound. I returned it for a replacement or refund. I called my credit card and filed a dispute just in case Watchwearhouse gives me a hard time.
Wish me luck.

todd if its still going strong after 15yrs, its certainly a decent one! Priceless in fact

Liking the smart watch glenn, presume you can pick your display/hands…………very cool. I am still in the old ages i guess, auto’s mainly for me. Just something about them. Hope you get sorted with the Hamilton, sure you will………….damn i would have been gutted.

Love the seiko’s weklund, you certainly have some nice gear, watches, lights and no doubt knives! Maybe a mans worst 3 enemies to his wallet.

Also love that skx013, very cool :slight_smile:

I recieved the polarizing film today, changed it on the watch, it’s like night and day difference, so happy i did this.

Edit:

Took a picture next to my Rangeman, sorry for the dirty Rangeman, been cutting some branches in the rain.

Today I have allow yourself this: Luminox SR-71 Blackbird; Bought used (new I couldn’t afford it) but it’s fine, I like it even if it’s a little heavy on the wrist.

My Hamilton Khaki Field Officer Watch is being repaired instead of replaced. watchweahouse.com claims it’s being repaired by their expert Hamilton repair guy. I told them I’m extremely picky as far as any evidence, scratches, accuracy, etc. The guy I spoke to assured me that they are picky as well. They said they will calibrate my watch as well. I was getting about 10 seconds fast a day which is good for a manual winding watch. Maybe they can get it better? I hope so.

… Luminox 3150 …

Ordered a SEIKO PROSPEX MARINEMASTER PROFESSIONAL 300M QUARTZ BLACK RUBBER SBBN033. Can’t wait for it to arrive!

Nice one! Photo doesn’t do it justice, it looks so good in real life.

I should have it in a few days. I’ll take a picture of it on my wrist and post it here.

Those things are great.

I need quartz though. Plus solar and ‘atomic’/radio controlled.

Personal failing :slight_smile:

It is quartz. I’m personally tired of manual and autowinding watches poor accuracy to be honest. The Seiko I ordered has an accuracy of plus or minus 15 seconds a month, typically only a few seconds compared to plus or minus 15 seconds a day for mechanical watches. Not only that, it gets minimum 5 years of battery life.

I recently ordered my first automatic watch, will post pics when I get it :slight_smile:

This is the best automatic+skeleton watch that I could find for less than $500.
Wanted something where I could see the moving parts, such as the flywheel, second hand, and rotor.
Apparently the movement is pretty good too for the price.


1986 GMT Master II.

several of my quartz watches including a 1984 seiko are like 5 sec a year or less

15 sec / month is just the spec

will probably be way better

and of course the atomic ones are 0 sec /eternity :slight_smile:

Got my Seiko SBBN033 MarineMaster Professional today. I got it from an authorized USA dealer for a great price. I’m loving it!
