Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

That’s great. Some of these are cheesy, but quite a few are really nice.

Just curious, if you were to leave the face display on permanently, how long would the battery last?

Good stuff, thanks! And if I'm remembering correctly, the NH35 and NH36 mvts are the non-branded versions of two well-respected Seiko mvts (of which the exact models numbers escape me at the moment... :)

Take care :)

Nice looking watch atbglenn! A non-quartz watch that I may able to afford someday.

Ya, I left the cheesy ones in for a bit of fun when I get bored. Some of those are like animated gifs. They show the versatility of the display. The battery life is short on these. This is one of the least efficient. Usually only a couple of days depending on the functions that are used. The longest display time is 30 mins. If it could be left on continuously maybe 4hrs.

ANDROID SMART WATCH BATTERY TEST - LEMFO LES1 vs LES2 vs Ticwatch 2 vs D101 vs THOR vs H1 vs i4 Air - YouTube a vid from the same guy doing a real time test of the batteries.

I am in the market for a diver and have narrowed it down to the Phoibos Wave Master (Seiko NH38a movement) or the Deep Blue Master 1000 (Seiko NH 35 movement).

Which one would you pull the trigger on or any other suggestion for an automatic diver?

Both verry nice. The ceramic bezel of the phoibos is a plus. I would decide on size. There can be quite a difference in real life between a 42mm and a 44mm watch.

12 yrs for the tritium to become half as bright as when you got it.

How many years/months/weeks/days will it take that your amoled display is half as bright or off after the last battery charge?

And which radiation might be more “dangerous”, the one from the tritium that a piece of paper can block or the constant radio transmission between the 2 devices?

Honestly, I couldn’t care less, I use my Traser P5900 without a second thought and I would do so with a same small smart watch.

That $30 Lenovo has caught my attention. Real digits, battery lasts a year, but you can program different alarms for every day of the week.
I like that, the watch looks nice, I don’t need the rest.

A 12 yr half life is what it’s marketed as, but if you read the watch forums that may not be so true for all. You can’t stop it’s degradation when not in use. AMOLED is rated 5 yrs at 8 hrs a day and degradation is mostly based on it’s usage. I only use it as a watch. Just a few seconds to read the times each day. But I wanted something always as bright as a freshly charged lume. It would take a T100 tube to match that. The smartwatch gives me that in med brightness setting and any detail that is not black, is lit up. The display stays bright until it needs recharging. This is a cheap alternative. I just found 1,000 free faces to add to the others in that file. You can’t do that with a trit watch.

I didn’t attack your choice, feel free to use whatever you like.

But, if it uses Tritium with a half-life of roughly 12 years then it will activate only half as many atoms in the phosphor layer 12 years after you had it in your hands for the first time. It doesn’t matter when that happens, if it was on the day of production (say 100 to 50) or 12 years later (50 to 25 of the original brightness)

I heavily doubs you’ll wait 12 years to buy another watch anyways :wink:

And well, I have my Traser roughly 5yrs now and it feels same bright as when I got it.
I wouldn’t even change the watch face but I wish I could take the glas out of the bezel, stonewash that steel ring and re-attach the glass.
I guess it’s glued in so I better don’t try.

Only the faux leather on the nylon strap was degrading after 2 years so I had to take it off and sew on real leather.
I just like the fact that I can read the watch in any light circumstances without the need to push a button or to charge it with light.

Maybe the smartwatches now realize the arm movement when you look at them, at least that’s how it should be.

It’s also kinda difficult for me to find a watch that I really like. Digital is a no go for me and I like “real” things, we stare at monitors all day anyways.
I don’t need a mechanical watch, god forbid hand winding, had that when I was child, thanks but no thanks :wink:

But a real face with maybe even minor mistakes in centering that you only find when you’ve got nothing else to do, that’s it for me :wink:
At least today, tomorrow is another story to tell.

Seiko day

Ven, It’s Seiko day for me as well.

Its about time!!!

Very nice glenn, love it :sunglasses:

Thanks pal. I just noticed I haven’t updated the date since before April. I have to start wearing this watch more often.

Nice Guys. Some great Seikos here.

What is this, a Seiko day? OK, I’m in…

Cool Seikos guys!

I purchased this one around 8 or 9 years ago.

Nice one, Glenn! The one I posted earlier was bought about 10 years ago. Unfortunately, I don’t actually know where I put it. It’s probably sitting in storage somewhere. :frowning:

Pete, I hate when that happens! You’ll probably find it when you’re not trying to find it. That happens to me all the time.

Very nice guys, must be Seiko Saturday
