Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

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!

Seems garish to me, but if you were looking for something really different, I’d say you found it!

Thanks for pointing these out.

casio also has a GREAT watch for about $39
marlin

quartz

Mine

A few more of my Helms.

When you get bored of the one on the right……. :stuck_out_tongue: only kidding lol

I edc a Apple Watch 4 , with software that enables me to choise different faces

Very nice, that white dial is killer!

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!

I have a couple of watches that get daily wear

A G shock G-2900F-2VER

https://www.casio-europe.com/euro/products/watches/g-shock/g-2900f-2ver/

+ 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.

On cell phones there’s LCD, OLED, Retina and whatnot
On watches LCD hasn’t changed a bit in the last 20-30 years

Still the same ugly as it every was, not even different fonts not to mention technology
Strange.

Yes…apart from smart watches that need charging very frequently.

EXACTLY why they can;t be color 3d oled holograms!!

Well, doesn’t have to be multicolor smartwatch but it’s surprising that in this field technology and design are standing still

They exist, but some of them cost three times what a smartwatch costs for some reason.

… My Trusty Vintage 1969 Speedmaster …

… Precista PRS-3 … Semper Fi …

That’s due to the sensor and electronics tech and overall construction rather than just the screen.

There are G-shocks and ProTreks that are nearly that expensive with normal LCD and analog.

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.

There is such a big price range in the G-Shock products. The lower end seems good value to me, the top……not so much.

why g-shock are expensive it’s just plastic :zipper_mouth_face:
