Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

I have a great home for them! :wink:

Ordered this one on ebay for $25.18. It a Timex Weekender #T2N757. I really like the style, and it's cheap enough not to worry about scratches, etc. It's small at 36mm. Has an 18mm navy blue leather band which I plan to replace with a khaki nylon band..

Very “clean” looking. What’s the advertised battery life? Wonder how long it’s been in storage/shelf. Is it easy to change/replace the wrist band? How much is the nylon band? Can the battery be easily replaced, that is, is the cover open easily, not requiring a special tool?

One ebay ad:
All Watches sold by Watchgrabber have a 1 year limited warranty.
This warranty does not cover batteries, leather straps, or crystals,

From what I've read, the battery is supposed to last 10 years. The back snaps on which isn't hard to remove. The band is easily replaced. I ordered one from here for 12.99. I already bought one for another watch I have. It's nice quality.

If battery lasts 10 years, why it’s excluded from even the 1 year warranty?

What’s the indicator whether snap on or screw on?

That put the watch price to $38. How does the new price compare with others?

Seiko Solar SNE095_P2. I replaced the green strap with a black.

I have had it since 2011 and I don't have to switch batteries, just have let it catch some sun now and then. And I don't have to take it off in the shower, swimming or washing hands. Just about perfect for me.

That looks interesting!
Could you post some real life photos of it?

Thanks a lot! :beer:
It looks nice but the case is a bit too shiny for my taste.

I’ve never owned a watch before in my life bt for Father’s Day this year my buddy gave me this same watch (but in green) and I’ve wore it every day since. I ordered a kaki 18mm NATO band for it from amazon and after 11 days a black one came Thursday so who know how long its gonna take to get to a replacement.

Both him and his dad own nothing but seiko’s.

My Casio collection

Love Casio!

Only have two, and up until I got the Seiko I never wore a watch. Now I can’t leave home without one on.
Left: Citizen Navihawk A-T
Right: Seiko SNAB69 Flight Master

They are good watches. The one on the left is about 14 years old. Got almost 8 years on the first battery. Keeps good time too. I've changed the band a few times. It's the one weak spot on these. They crack after a few years..

The Seiko automatic's

Yep, I’ve changed the band countless times on my Casio, and several times it almost fell off my wrist and got lost before I realized the band was broken. My particular model isn’t super battery efficient like yours, the battery usually only lasts a bit over a year. I’ve had it for years, and my first two Casios also lasted me almost a decade each of 24/7 usage.

Do you know what model that is? Looks sharp! :smiley:

Here's two more. A Tag Heuer I bought when I was Vegas 22 years ago. And a Movado Valor I got nearly 10 years ago. The Tag needs a new battery.

I’m lookng for a few Casio-like watches for work. Anyone have an ‘Alike’ brand in their EDC collection? About $6-$12. Here are a few that caught my eye:

These look definitely super good and for such a low price it is hard to resist. The third one is what I like most.
Tmart has also nice watches I have this on order which cost me less than 12$.
