If you like the styling, then yes. The DUW 3001 is a pretty neat truly in-house ultra-thin automatic movement. Just be careful that they all wear much larger than you think due to being all dial and having g long lugs.

A pair of running shoed that won't fuck up your feet costs ~$80 minimum, and the impact on your foot and joint health is greater at higher prices (although admittedly not by much). A watch that won't fuck up telling time is like $25, and any extra money is for fashion and/or autism.

Why are Swatch trying to market automatics to normies?

It's iinaccurate and non hacking, surely normies will hate it, they're used to quartz watches that keep good time.

>>59241229
>literally knowing nothing about shoes
>>59241277
Mechanical is seen as a luxury that you can charge more for even though its objectively worse at keeping time.

>>59241286
>>/fa/

>>59241141
First of all, $400-$80=$320. Second, there are objective improvements in quality/cushioning/ergonomics up to around $140. Full retardation doesn't set in until the $150 mark imo, especially if the person is actually playing sports/running in them. It is still retarded to spend $400 on a pair of shoes if you aren't a high level marathon runner, but let's not pretend an expensive watch is anything other than a frivolous luxury purchase.

>>59241234
I don't have sausage fingers, and I guess that is something I just have to deal with

Why do you think hacking matters in this sense? Point hour hand where it needs to point, and minute hand where it needs to point.

>let's not pretend an expensive watch is anything other than a frivolous luxury purchase.

It's still more worthwhile that literal bits of cotton woven by someone in Bangladesh.

A watch is a mechanical machine that will last a lifetime. A pair of trainers is a bit of fabric that will be broken in a year.

>>59241345
Try running or playing any sport regularly in a pair of $50 vs $400 shoes. Your knees and ankles will feel the difference. Regardless of the price of raw materials in the shoes, the extra money yields a real, objective, valuable benefit (improved comfort, ergonomics, and injury prevention, leading to more enjoyment of one's athletic activities). Meanwhile, you can tell time just the same on a cheap Casio watch, which also lasts for a very long time.

>>59241600
>Try running or playing any sport regularly

Where do you think you are?

>>59241600
More like $50 vs $150. $400 trainers are the rare Nikes or whatever minorities collect. Now, $400 boots or dress shoes? That's when you're getting good shit.

>>59241277

it's a fun wind-up toy in bright colors that happens to be precise enough to tell time and small enough to fit in a watch.

if it seems overpriced to you, it's probably because you don't make enough money to be in the target market for it. in that case i would suggest that you should probably not own more than two watches anyway.

because a miyota powered watch in a steel case isn't a fun colorful plastic toy swiss lever watch that barely runs. it can't compete with the whimsy of a sistem51.

By looking at the dial.

>>59247608
You shake it and count how many times the rotor spins. That's your hours. Then you count out how many times the escapement turns in as many seconds as your rotor determined the hour. That value is your minutes. This model doesn't have seconds so you'll have to guestimate for your measurements

Of course it's not true. Once you have experience you can tell the time from the rotor position because some of the teeth are different lengths.

Yes!

Does anyone know the difference in quality between the quartz movements in: Grand Seiko, Grand Quartz and King Quartz?

So far I have found that the amount of the thing under the Grand Seiko logo means if it's one or two things there, means i t's either twin pulse or single pulse.

Tudor is going in-house with movements and they're doing it to an exceptional degree. Free sprung balances on bridges with 70 hour power reserves and silicon hairsprings, with the movements being COSC certified.

>>59248205
It would be a lot easier to just put a 2234 movement in as the dial lugs are the same as a 2209. You lose the date as it would be covered but that would be all.

If you mean the fact that the second hand motion is more smooth than a standard quartz watch, that's often referred to these days as a sweep second hand, even though originally a sweep second hand meant a second hand that was mounted in the center of the watch (concentric with minutes and hours), which is more challenging to make than the traditional small seconds hand on a sundial.

>>59254038
This, of course, being why the Swiss had to suspend all chronometer trials in the 1960s when Seiko began to utterly crush their specially built ringers with regular production models.

It's also why the Swiss remain so afraid of being embarrassed into bankruptcy by Seiko that TO THIS day they structure all objective criteria watchmaking competitions to specially exclude Seiko.

Srs tho the sistem51 is worse than chinkshit not even they solder the movement together and use a plastic fork and escapement
