Though I feel it's too small for my wrist. Is it asexual design? Or is there a male vs female version?

Got other things to be paying for and tastes may change. They may not.

Any cardiofags here? The Fenix 3 HR is going on sale for $400 on black friday, should I pick one up? It seems to have every feature you could want from an exercise watch while also looking like an actual watch. But $400 is still a lot of money for a fucking running watch, the FR235 is also going on sale for $250.

Might be going to Japan at years end.

Is it worth trying to buy a watch there ? What would you recommend?

Could I actually get a good deal by purchasing something there ?

Thanks!

Also I'd go for a blue Turtle, get a PADI if you can find one at a decent price though as the blue dial looks better with the Pepsi bezel than the Black dial on the SRP779 imho.

>>57484209
I might be able to get a PADI for 350~360.

Though after buying both a uncommon blue dialed Daini KQ and jewing the Moonview for a SRPA29 I'm really on the verge of getting a SRP777.

It's a full watch. Normally the GA100 sells for 70ish from amazon but ebay had some kinda sale. I don't own any g-shocks or any large watches in general so the price put me over the edge and I picked it up.
The tough solar watch is just something I picked up off my wish list to remind me of trump's victory. I like buying watches right after big events so they have meaning

Why would a woman care about a chronograph. Get a quartz watch that look gay enough to please a woman.

>>57485832
>What's wrong with buying one of those 5-10 dollar chinese ebay watches

Something is more likely to break after a while. The hands might fall off and so on and so fort. You also will likely just have access to quartz watches. The lume might stop working after a while and they LOOK cheap usually.

You can get a pretty decent functional watch in the $50-$100 range. While one of the best watches around ~$10 is likely a Casio F-91W. Which they only can keep in good quality (except the strap which still is shit) due to the large amount of them they make.

Some cheap chinkshit will likely have worse quality than that. But you might be lucky. There is also the fact that you can not reliably know the quality of a $5-$10 chinkshit watch. While a brand watch needs to have consistent quality or have some sort of warranty to keep their reputation.

>>57486117
get out... smart watches are not technology and don't belong on this board.

>>57486166
Because they make fewer of the green ones and the price is so small that a slight price difference easily becomes twice as much.

I want to get a new watch and replace my G-Shock with something that doesn't stand out so much, without making compromises on functionality. I've been looking at some Seiko analog-digital models since I presume they have the same alarm and digital stopwatch functions as the G-Shock. For example, the Seiko SNJ023P1 would be something I'd be really happy with, but it's not easily obtainable.

Got any recommendations for something similar that I can actually buy?

Seiko Sarb is likely the best for a decent and dressy watch. The orients in the same price range are also good, but what about a cheap orient like possibly this:

or if you like a gold tone (even though I think it's a bit too much for my taste) then this is a good deal atm. http://a.co/81hKaNE

There are also some great Seiko 5s in that price range that are a bit dressy like this one: http://a.co/ifjIWsz or maybe this one with a patterned dial http://a.co/dhPheJu

I wondered why so many wanted chronographs. So precision tea making is now a thing. Neat.

Women need chronographs to assess the financial capacity of their potential mate. Also around here it was revealed that many customers for high end watches were ladies of the night using watches to transfer "currencies" back to their home countries in a manner safer than notes.

You could build almost this exact watch out of current production Vostok parts. Only this type of Scubadude dial isn't made in black anymore, only blue.

There is however a black 12-6-9 dial in production with the Scubadude, dial model number 634.

I like the look of those.
It's the "Rider's chronograph" Giugiaro reissue, with the dial slanted so that you can read it while holding the handlebars of a bike.
But once again they used a quartz movement that has a 24hr subdial and a date...
I ride a motorcircle, and even though I wouldn't read a watch while riding, I really appreciate the thought behind the watch.
The asking price is just steep for me at the moment, since there are several nice mechanicals I'd want to buy with that money... But this is a limited edition. I'm torn.

>new to watches but would I be able to wear this with anything or is this for just suits and such?

That is up to you, I would say anything though. It isn't too flashy, and a lot of people wear steel band watches with a casual look. I think it could go either or, but I personally wouldn't wear it to super formal events.

If you like that look, maybe you'd like the orient palmer. It is what I plan on eventually getting, after I get a few other things first.

It's super comfy, and the tan dial goes with leather much better than the black dialed version.
Great watch.

>>57499026
Did you have to mod the NATO to get it to fit on that 420 case? I read that it's a tight ass fit.

>>57499649
Nope
There's an ample amount of room between the springbars and the case, and it uses a standard size spring bar, so even a thick nato will fit just fine.
Same goes for the mdv106

>>57499565
Thanks alot man,

I do like the Palmer but the textured dial on the union is what sold me.

>>57499526
The Symphony II is the better watch, especially if you're looking for a dressy watch.

I think you have fat wrists. The model came out over 20 years ago too.

You can always take out the lug pins and stick a NATO strap on though. A sensible idea as even though the watch has a battery life extending well over 5 years the stock strap is the weakest component and most likely to snap/break first within a few years if even that.

>>57501562
Nah, the cheap resin bands on the low-end casios have rivets for allowing your wrist to breath.
The problem is that they're not molded, but just sections of thinner plastic.
So they's basically weak points that break with repeated flexing.
The more expensive ones don't have this issue.

Looking into SARBs atm, first time for Seiko. Which one (between pic related) does /seiko/ recommend?

Just sharing my retro Casios, sorry about the shit lighting.

Pictured from left to right:
TS-1200(1983), 59CGS-57(1980), F-10(1984)

Bought the left two cheaply from some dude on an online sell spot along with some other shit digitals, didn't seem to know what he had. Great condition, the 59CGS-57 in particular is very rare. You can hardly find anything about it, but it's an official model because it's in a magazine from 1980. Not sure if there's a demand for it though, most Casio collectors seems to focus on either G-Shocks or Marlins & Divers.

yeah it's a miracle how fucking shit she is.

I'm thinking about getting an automatic...but I'm not very active, most of my day I'm on a PC and when I do sport I have to remove my watch (muay thai)
So my question is : will an automatic watch still runs fine for someone that's not a very active person?

>>57503742
this desu

>>57503876
Yeah just wind it every so often

>>57503876
Some rotors are sensitive enough to where they most certainly will wind, If needs be, just wear it on your masturbating hand.

Get one that also has handwinding to be sure. Just not ETA though, because pic might happen in a decade or so.

Thanks.

Fuck I was about to get the Seiko 5, it doesn't have this it seems.
Any alternative under 100 $?

My Seiko 5 has handwinding.

>>57498866
Great first buy desu. It's one of the best watches in the price range

>>57504139
There's no good watches in that price range

>>57499481
If you find a limited edition that you want then get it... I missed out on a limited edition Christopher Ward watch that I wanted and I regret it.

>>57502412
>>57479628
Get the 2nd one. Cheap, full range of functions and it's solar too.

>>57499526
If you want to wear that to formal events then get black leather straps for it

>>57504099
100$? Vostok pretty much.

>>57504131
Maybe I missread something but it seems like some Seiko 5 (the cheaper ones) don't have it. Can you tell me what's the model you have?

>>57501322
What a pretty watch. Never heard of the brand

>>57504230
SNK809

>>57504260

Thanks

I like the alpinist. It's on my wish list

>>57503717
Nothing homosexual about it.

>>57504161
Of course... The straps on it are horrendous and break easily. But it shows the time, has an alarm, date, stopwatch and lights up with a button. It's functional and apart from the straps it should last a while.

>>57504246
I honestly didn't either until almost right before I bought it. I would highly recommend Ball watches desu. This thing has been one of my most prized possessions ever.

>>57504367
it's the brand with the best lume ever.

Is the DW-5600E-1V a solid watch?

>>57504367
Looks cool. Unfortunately the closest store is in Stockholm, there are nobody selling it in norway

>>57503033

If it was an actual osyterquartz I'd be pissed but but the manager probably knew it was a shitty fake

>>57504423
Yep
Certified by NASA for spacewalks too.

>>57504573
What kind of retarded marketing bullshit is this? I know my shitty knockoff F-91W can be used for spacewalks too and I don't need a bullshit NASA certification to tell me that.

>>57504573
>>57505767
Actually it's only certified for spaceflight. The Speedmaster is still the only EVA approved watch.

>>57501322
The "RR" better stands for Rolls Royce.
