Nice!
I really hope to own one of those Helm watches one day, maybe not that one - I have thought about it many times, but the import duty etc puts it that little bit too high for me.
I’m a lume fan, and they have plenty of it lol!
The “Duro” is such an amazing value. Can’t believe the level of finishing that comes on a $40 watch. If they released one with better lume and a bit smaller case it would dominate at even $80-100. There are different color version out now too!
+ Smaller than the full size G-Shocks and very comfortable to wear
Robust and cheap enough that no worries if it got damaged
Can be configured to illuminate when you turn your wrist
Large stopwatch digits, a key reason for selecting it
10 year battery life (claimed)
Easy to switch time zone
- When you switch time zone the alarm still has to be set in the home time zone
The silver bezel ring, would prefer matt finish
I am neutral about the data memory feature, no value for me
The other watch is a Rolex Submariner 16800 that my wife bought me 20+ years ago as an estate piece. Really love that watch although the luminescence doesn’t last long.
I used to have a Mudmaster GWG-1000. It’s pretty nice, but ultimately it’s a plastic watch with a quartz movement and solar charging. The temp sensor is essentially useless on your arm and the barometer isn’t accurate enough to be anything more than a curiosity. It’s a bit overpriced at ~$600 so I ended up selling it.
