Wristwatches

Besides screaming "I have autism!", what else does all the other shit on those watches do?

>>836426
other shit

>>836429
Still figuring it all out I see

I only wear digital as the ticking will drive me nuts

and stick to cheap ones that can be easily replaced; the one I've had for years has good battery life and keeps good time

>>836432
Yeah, sort of.
Did you know this thing can tell the time, too?

I have the one on the left, and its the worse casio I ever saw. Garbage. Do NOT buy it.

Have a Timex Expedition that suddenly started fogging up every time I wear it in the rain. Can anyone recommend a good affordable waterproof analog? I like dive watch style and find the rotating bottom timer bezel quite useful for timing other things,. but only need something waterproof enough for snorkeling and kayaking,

Digital is not an option, I haven't quite given up all hope of finally getting laid someday.

You can't go wrong with one unless you buy a cheap one. From my experience the ones over 100 dollars are better quality. I love the two I currently have and I don't really give a shit about what anyone thinks. It's on your arm not theirs. They'll get over it.

i have a casio g-shock i got for free.
and guess what... it's inaccurate you need to frequently adjust the time and also not very durable i accidentally knocked a little to a door and the display got rekt from the shock needed to be replaced after 3 years and warranty did not cover it.
if casio had better warranty for them i would recommend but most of them are expensive for plastic crap and prone to get damaged despite the name.

You should be mad: because women love a guy with thick wrists and big hands. It's like a foot fetish for them except all of them have it.

dude the frogman is the same size as any large g-shock model (anything 100) it also handles the same pressure btw 20 bar is roughly 200m.

>>836439
Only cheap analogs tick loudly. A decent watch shouldn't other you at all.
Timex are kinda the worst offenders, which sucks because everything else about them is good.

>>836737
Wait, are you seriously not making a joke? You're saying that g shocks aren't durable and they don't keep correct time even though many of them have atomic timekeeping and are digital anyways?

i have a basic model it does not update by radio it is inaccurate by several minutes per year. not seconds minutes.
and not very durable either.
so no you can probably do better for the price.
>>837072
it's my honest advice to avoid them. i had old casios that withstood more shit and were more accurate. one of my watch was lost for 3 years i found it after it spend summers and winters under the open sky and it still worked and showed the time. i had it for almost 20 years but i couldn't get wristband for it anymore. faggot casio stopped making it.

Anyone that does actual or participates in real activities including /out/ stuff should know that having that monstrosity on your wrist is a good way to lose your hand or your arm when you snag that.

Also, check with anyone that has worked ER. I bet anything they have a different story about the effectiveness of relying on something to break when things go wrong.

Besides the fact that it's digital, it's breddy gud. I'd spring for analog, though.

Bought this a couple of weeks ago. Had a previous Timex Expedition but it had a goofy ring around the rim, like the one divers twist to remind them when to surface, except it didn't move. I didn't mind, but when I was swimming in Florida a couple of months ago salt got inside of it and the light stopped working. This is pretty much the same, but a newer model. Would recommend.

>>837495
You're a shitposting idiot. What's going to happen when you're just fucking backpacking? I could maybe see the point for something actually potentially dangerous like sailing, but that doesn't stop sailors from wearing watches.

You have to admit though, the G shock IS pretty spergy.

>>838005
I disagree. It honestly doesn't look bad at all. Maybe the reason it has that reputation is because spergy people stereotypically wear digital watches, I don't know. If you're handsome, then pretty much nothing is spergy or autistic or cringey. If you're fat or ugly, then dressing with sketchers and g shocks is autistic, but so is trying to dress nicely.

its pretty good,
helps me keep track of time and remever left from right

>>838005
No, I dont. I find them highly useful:

They are cheap so I dont have to care about fucking them up

They are incredibly robust

They have (depending on model) tons of useful /out/door features, with a simple stopwatch as the most basic one

>>838007
It's not that, i've seen and owned some nice digitals and I can even appreciate functional ugliness. It's just got too many dials and slogans (Triple sensor! Protection!) and the case looks lumpy and gratuitously overbuilt, so to me it looks cheap and gimmicky even if it's actually an excellent watch.

I wasn't the one originally calling it autistic though, and I don't care what other people wear, I just don't want one myself.

I'm on the fence about G-Shocks, I've served 7 years now in my nations military and I was given my G-Shock by my dad before I left for basic and its been with me through countless deployments - Still hasn't broken on me. It does its job, tells time, has an alarm, tells me tides, has atomic time adjustment for when I travel into different time zones and has more regional time zone settings than I have use for. But first and foremost its seen salt water, fresh water, countless chemicals, paints, cordite, blood, puss, every bodily fluid you can name etc etc and has been bumped, dropped and thoroughly abused. But still it keeps doing its job without needing a single repair.

Unless you need a rugged as fuck watch and just want to look like a poser then yeah go ahead and slap on a bulky g-shock to look hardcore, but until you get some scratches, dents in the plastic and put some hard wear on it then why bother. Why bother having a set of boots you never want to bash? Why have a 4x4 for urban driving? Get a watch that suits your damn purpose. That being said Suuntos are pretty neat-o, my old G-Shock is sentimental and well worn.

Bite my dangle!
Anyone here use a T-Touch? Howz about them solar models?

Fuck you, you raging spaz, it was a present from my wife who doesn't know shit about watches.

>>837957
>Why?
I find the option of having several time zones useless, but I wouldn't care, if not the fact that they are switched between by right-botom button, which I kept pushing accidentally every time I twisted my wrist 90 degrees. I ended up glueing it with superglue so it doesnt move. The light is a peace of shit. The wrist band is scratchy and I had to soften the sides with lighter. The belt loops are from round wire and slide when trying to slip in the band. The glass is from shitty plastic and isn't protected by anything, it's already scratched, even though I don't wear it too often, becaue it sticks out.
Overall, it's a huge dissapointment, I generally love Casio wrist watches, wife knew it, but chose the present poorly.

compass (not obligatory, can do without)

It's true. Once I was in hospital for surgery. There was this very old lady with dementia, harmless, skinny, her hands ware like sticks. When she came from some surgery, and woke up, she went batshit insane, dementia & sedative must have caused it. She ripped of her bandages, started screaming and ripping out her intestines, and it literally took 5 nurses to subdue her, she almost gauged eyes of one of the nurses. Its amazing, what human body is capable of.

All I have to do is wear mine in an illuminated area, and it's good to go.
If I somehow managed to crack my watch, it would still be readable, and I would just have to replace the glass.

What essentials should a good watch have for a few month long expedition besides being waterproof? What is a heavy duty/durable model?? Thanks!

I'd prefer analog. And if anyone knows of a 24 hr analog I'd be ecstatically grateful. I've been wanting one for a very long time.
