Listen up guys, this thread is for the devices that you buy once and then realise 5 years later you're using them every day.
It's those devices that require no micromanaging and perform their duties with perfection.
>(a.k.a. the antithesis to linux, but we disgress...)
May I present to you: Casio GPW-1000.
1) Built like a tank, literally undestroyable (by brute force, water, electric static, ...)
2) No need to change the battery. I mean, c'mon, it's 2015! It has solar charging.
3) No need to set the time, anywhere in the world. GPS finds your location and sets the local time with atomic precision. Remember, this is not a one-day-battery-life Garmin or Suunto –it's still powered by solar energy only.
For these three reasons, not only will you never have any issues with the watch, but it will also last a life time because there is literally no reason IMAGINABLE to upgrade –you can wear it in any conditions, without external needs, and it will display atomic time; you cannot imagine a reason to upgrade something that has reached perfection –a watch showing the exact time, forever.
>>52074881
I got a really nice g-shock solar waveceptor for very cheap a few years back, still wear it every day.
Great watches, but the ones with digital displays look cheap, unless you opt for one with a stainless steel band.
>>52074881
you'll also look like a dweeb tho
>>52074944
lol actually browsing the fa watch thread in another tab... But honestly though, there are so many alternatives that do just as well without the overkill anti-poon action
>>52074881
The strap will more likely fail than the watch itself.
What you guys think of the Tissot powermatics? I can get pic related for like $400, is that a steal?
>>52075425
Haha no, Tissot is where Swatch pedals its dogshit just to try and lure suckers in with the "Swiss Made"
>>52075277
that's the case with all g-shocks, but that doesn't mean the strap is still strong in absolute terms.
i just really would like a watch that is completely no-maintenance, and setting your watch because you're outside of the very tiny radio radius *is* maintenance.
also, how does pic related make me look like a "dweeb" (sic)?
I picked up one of these today for AU$215.51. Did I make a decent purchases or fall for the meme?

Well, that depends if it is useful for you or not.
For me it would be a waste of money, but trips of fortune say you're fine.
What do you think ?

Hey, came to ask a question:
I want to build my own digital watch. Is this possible? Anyone else here done this?
>>52082005
Sure. Depends on what you mean by build. You can recase a movement and screen. You can build a circuit but then it probably won't be wearable other than as a novelty - I think there are kits for that.
>>52082092
was thinking about building a circuit, I just want somethink minimalistic and digital able to beep every 10 mins

I don't really like how yours looks but I do love g shocks and wish there were more in this thread.
Found a website call bazaar-watch and they are selling omega watches for a very low price, so low that i really doubt if they are fakes...
>>52083963
Fashion quartz. It's cheap and basic quartz movement in casing which may or may not flake off the coating within the next year, and sold with huge markup.
Best gshock coming through.
Everything else is shit.
>>52083963
Cheaply made, with a disposable movement, sold with a huge mark up to unknowing persons.

>Do any of you have any experience with watches that aren't meme tier on this threads or just talk out of your ass?
I have a few vintage Omegas (Got my mum a 1966 Ladies Seamaster Cosmic), a doppelcock GQ, a few meme watches (Tisell, etc) as well as a bunch of other watches I bought without influence from /wtg/.
I'm only about 50% memed so far.
>>52084469
I've had some watches gifted to me, and noticed that fashion watches in general won't last (at least in my usage). I own amphibia and random casio digital watch, at least those aren't trying to be anything they really aren't.
>>52084562
Most cheap quartz watches will keep time better than an Amphibia or a Komandirskie.

One of you guys posted this yesterday, but by the time I was going to ask, the thread was dead. Anyways, what model is this? And what strap? I really dig it and I've been trying to find it on ebay for an hour.
>>52084734
Komandirskie.
>>52084585
I never said the amphibia was accurate, now did I? It's russian watch, made from old soup cans by some crooked and perpentually drunk kirgisian using soviet equipment. Still probably lasts longer than your skagen, while being unaccurate soviet tank of an watch.
Got this autism band for Christmas.
I'm liking it, nice bright number display too.
>>52084760
I should've been more specific. What Komandirskie is it?
>>52084762
An innacurate watch is a shit watch.
Also not the guy with the Skagen, and I think that anon doesn't need a durable as fuck watch because it won't take any beating on a regular day.

I know shit about the strap since it isn't my pic.
>>52084811
Thanks. I'll continue looking for a strap.
>>52084798
+20 seconds a day is something I can live with, but you're right on that different folks have different priorities.
>>52084830
The strap reminds me of Hirsch straps for some reason, not to mention that the watch itself has aftermarket bezel and insert installed.

Anything else is literally autism.
I've been comfortable with the F-91W for years. Everytime I try on a watch it just seems too big for my liking.
>>52085744
>wears a G-shock
>Calls other people autistic
My beater digital is a Suunto Core that I got for $65 at a garage sale, and I love it. I only wear it when doing /out/ stuff or working in the shop, though.
My daily wear watch is a SKX009 with an after-market super oyster bracelet and orange PO style bezel insert.
>>52086183
Better picture of the bezel insert before I swapped the bracelet.
Can someone with a 42mm-45mm watch with manlet wrists post a wrist shot? Looking into an orange monster or skx009. 40mm looks good on me but I don't want to blow $200+ and then have to mail it back when the damn thing looks obnoxiously large on my wrist.
>>52085885
Same here, not for the size but I just don't feel the need of anything else on a daily basis.
Maybe I'll get some chink DW to wear when I need something more dressy, like 4-5 times/year, and I'm not going to spend more than 100 bucks for that.
>>52085744
I like your second choice but wearing a G-Shock on a daily basis is pure autism.
>>52074881
>2) No need to change the battery. I mean, c'mon, it's 2015! It has solar charging.
Solar is fine for a watch like this, but it's stupid on a dress watch (and I see far too many dress quartz watches with solar). A dress watch lives under the cuff most of the day, and yet in the instructions it specifically says to keep the watch out from under the cuff in order to charge.
>>52075425
The dial finish looks pretty rough to me. As for the movement, I would want to wait several years to learn about the longevity and durability, not to mention how much it costs to service. It could be a disposable movement.
One thing I really don't like about them is the lowered beat rate (21600 vs 28000) on what is essentially a modified ETA 2824-2. I don't like how it has several thinner parts as well. The increased power reserve isn't worth it to me.
The ETA 2824-2 is a reliable and rugged movement, and can be easily maintained. The only real fault (handwinding) can be addressed by proper lubrication and just using the efficient auto winder most of the time.
Wearing my Breitling for Bentley watch at the moment.
>>52086321
Looks gay as fuck.
>>52086463
>car branded watch
Breitling has some decent models, but that's pretty embarrassing to wear desu
>>52086463
Too big for dem skinny wrists.
>>52086458
I don't think solar is an issue on a dress watch, unless you put it in a dark drawer it should get plenty of light to keep it charged when it's sitting on your dresser between wearings. I don't have much occasion to wear a dress watch, but my solar watches certainly stay charged fine during the winter when they're covered by my jacket sleeve most of the time.
>>52086511
I know. I need my metabolism to fuck off so I can go plump.
>>52083963
Design-wise, Skagens are pretty good. If only the build quality matched the design. If you read reviews or go to Watchuseek, you'll see a common complaint of the watch just not standing up to day-to-day wear. On Amazon, there are complaints about the crystals cracking. A light whack and the case comes apart.
Skagen could be a winner if they just changed a few things:
1. Make a sapphire crystal to reduce scratches
2. Improve quality control
3. Improve case design for greater water resistance and shock resistance.
Do that, put a good Seiko movement (like the tough 7N43) in the case, and you'd have a nice looking watch that would last as long as you'd need it.
>>52086509
Yeah, I mean I did get it for a Christmas present and I never wear watches so I thought why not give it a go haha.
>>52086541
>Implying you can make your wrists bigger
>>52086563
Well with the amount of junk food i eat I'm surprised I'm not a blob that is stuck halfway into the sofa
>>52086512
I wear a dress watch under the cuff, then I take it off at night when I go to sleep. The only real time it could charge would be on the week-ends.
Maybe it would work, but for my use pattern, an automatic works better. If I wanted a rechargeable quartz, I think a direct drive Seiko Kinetic (which allows hand-winding) would work better for me. I'd probably stick with a regular quartz, however, as I change my own batteries.
If this thing also had a strobe laser built in and a speaker that made pew pew noises I'd buy it in a second.
>>52084811
>>52084794
Anon that posted the watch here.
Now for a more detailed explanation, 431171 dirskie, aftermarket bezel by boris_gvb (ebay), aftermarket Seiko 7002 insert, a spiedel buffalo grain strap (slightly water damaged, will be replaced soon).
>>52086463
Quite an expensive belt buckle there m8.
>>52086666
Tah very muchly and nice satanic quads
>>52086663
That better have a creepshot dedicated camera.
>>52086627
I usually take mine off as soon as I get home, so the few hours of artificial light they get seem to be enough, and I also tend to leave them on my dresser, which gets a decent amount of natural light from the window in the morning before I put the watch on.
I like autos as well though, an SKX is my everyday watch, but I've been through periods where I was wearing a solar one regularly, and I just got another one for Christmas so I'll be wearing that a decent amount.

Ceramic is pretty reflective, it's why a lot of people prefer aluminium bezels.
>>52081732
I've had it for just a few days, and it's been good for the money. The case is very well constructed, the bracelet is very comfortable and we'll made.
The movement is where the corner gets cut, but it's a miyota 8215, and a decent enough movement,especially compared to a 7S26 which is my only other watch.
>>52087696
Yeah, it's made by Surefire, who are a really highly-regarded company that makes flashlights for military, police, and civilians who value a bright, rugged flashlight.
The idea behind this thing was apparently that it'd be aimed at the target when holding a pistol with two hands, but why wear a ridiculous clunky "watch" when you could just attach a light to the pistol instead?
>>52087563
Surefire made this too, give it another fifteen years.

>>52088172
Yep.
>>52088211
There's no hope for that watch then and it should be thrased.
>>52075277
Then get one with a metal band.
>>52088172
It's possible, but mostly on very ugly gold/rose gold/odd gold toned watches like >>52088211
>>52088185
Waaaaay too black.
Amphibia in pic was too much so i dismantled the bezel and insert. And they were stuck together with some serious shit.
>>52080257
Ive got 6 1/2 inch wrists. Pretty small. But the submariner or submariner esque watches look fantastic on this size. If thats not your style, look into vintage dress watches, from 35-40mm. Pic related
>>52088302
It might be bit black for some but I fancy one anyway as I have my SKX009 for a steel finish watch.
>>52088172
Call me crazy, but I don't think many black watches look good on brown leather, or even stainless with a black face and bezel.
Brown with a white or blue face is top tier, though.
Breitling Galactic
>>52088302
I like that vostok diver. Is that bezel a mod? It looks like it's from a seiko diver
Can someone help me identify this vintage omega. The case diameter is 30mm and it says nothing else than swiss made. The caseback is steel and has nothing on it. My grandad bought it a jewelry store in the 60's.
>>52088751
Looks like a constellation to me.
>>52088736
Ye
Those bezels are like 25$~ off eBay (cheaper for the versions without an insert) and come with Seiko inserts.
Also very easy to install.
>>52088751
I can't be the only one that doesn't like how nato straps look on that kind of watches.
Nato looks too sportsy, I only find them fitting in divers or digital watches.
![AE-1000W-1BVEF[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/qToyzKQ.jpg "AE-1000W-1BVEF[1].jpg")
I just ordered a Casio Ae-1000W-1Bvef as I don't have a rugged black digital in my collection yet and it fills that role nicely without paying extra for a G-Shock.
£15 from Amazon, should be a decent watch for messy activities etc.
>>52088802
You're not the only one, it's a thing started by the Daniel Wellington style watches I think. It would look so much nicer on a tan crocodile strap.
>>52088802
Old photo, it got a gold mesh band now. For my other vintage watch I ordered a brown leaater strap with a gold butterfly buckle.
are 80s automatic seikos off ebay are THE best bargain watches?
>>52088751
Its omega geneve from "69
Its sells around 600-700euros in europe if in great condition
Source:
I own one.
>>52089061
I think they might be yes. I got a 1980 gold Seiko 5 (my birth year) for around £8 because the band was badly worn with a lot of plating missing.
I slapped a tan crocodile leather bracelet on it and it looks fantastic, keeps perfect time too.
>>52089061
Unless they are from India, and or have been given the Philippines special treatment.
Then yes, otherwise vintage soviet watches are even bigger bargains.
>>52086552
They're a Fossil brand, so unfortunately they'll never stop being poorly made Chinese shit.
>>52088775
Constellations have a star on the dial and say Constellation and chronometer on the dial, plus they have the observatory logo on the caseback. I think Seamasters also always say Seamaster on the dial. It's probably a Geneve like >>52089139 said but there's really no way to know what year or anything without removing the caseback to check the reference number.
>>52089175
I thought you had a really fat forearm and way too tight of a band until I realized I was looking at a right arm.
How do you stand having your watch way down at your wrist joint? I wear mine so that the top of my hand barely touches the crown if I bend it all the way back.
>>52080257
you are the epitome of /g/ haha

They all have 601 cal,the 12 hour markings have different patterns depending on the year manufactured.
>>52088751
Take a knife an pop the back case its that easy.Lest us see it
>>52089280
It's not really that low, it rests just above my wrist joint so that it's basically resting on the end of my forearm bone. I guess it just feels comfiest there, do you have a pic of where you wear yours?
If I bend my hand back all the way it only just touches the case, plus that's a pretty small case anyway at around 35mm.
>>52089378
Maybe it's just the pic then, mine sounds about the same as yours. My strap rests on the end of the forearm bone too.
>>52085744
I like both watches. No having other watches is not autism, it's just throwing money away. But i'm fine with that, since i really like my watches.

The back.
I don't want to remove the back cover. I'm afraid I will chip the side of the watch. The thing hasn't been opened for years.
>>52090324
Huh, at first glance I'd say it's an obvious fake.
But the dial looks alright. Maybe that's not the original back?
Anything that looks like the Seagull 1963 that doesn't make you look like a memer or socialist cosplayer?
>>52090361
It was bought at a jewelry store called "Steltman" in The Hague. I don't think they sell fakes...

I just want an atomic/solar or kinetic one. I don't really need the GPS. I like these metal G shocks but the resin is more inert than the metal, if we're talking lifetime.
>>52089665
But they are. You don't have to like it, but it is a well-considered unified design. It rips off several other designs, of course.
>>52090413
Something IWC, maybe?
Expensive, and might count as a meme watch, though.
Also the Carrera 1887, but you get a whole load of TAG baggage with it.

>>52091887
I have this Gundam watch, I think it's the nicest one they've ever done, and actually wearable on a daily basis. It's a Citizen, based on their old Navitach movement IIRC.
They made a Char one as well, but I've never been able to find one for sale anywhere. It has a full-red face and isn't as low-key as the Feddie one anyway, though.
protip: dont buy large watches if you have a girly wrist like OP

And that's it for now.
Hope you enjoyed it anons. Cheers!
>>52079947
Its pretty good honestly. Order a mesh bracelet too and you'll have a nice looking dress watch for less than 5 bucks
>>52092336
This is one of the few non-round watches I've ever liked. (Along with the McQueen Monaco, of course.)
>>52092351
I hate you.
What vintage is it? Or a modern reissue?
Fuck, I just noticed that it's a moon phase too.

Wish that thing could come on a tantalum bracelet too.
>>52092311
What is that, I actually like it.
>>52088151
My heart just melted.
I need this, wish it didn't have that typeface on the bezel but oh well.
>>52092655
IKTF
>>52092744
It would be quite heavy and more expensive, as tantalum is very much harder to work than titanium or platinum, for example. (This said to me by Francois-Paul itself.)
Also the polished part would constantly stain with fingerprints...
>>52092868
Apparently tantalum is twice as dense as 316L. Makes sense then I s'pose. Could maybe leave it brushed like the tantalum APs.
>>52092904
Yes, one could left it brushed, wich lowers the price and reduce the staining, but IMHO it would clash with the mirror like three dimensional blue dial and Francois-Paul wouldn't have it.

>>52088302
Hey there anon, how much of your 7002 is original?
>>52092825
It's a Gundam special edition from 2006 or so, made by Citizen and only sold in Japan in relatively limited numbers. (I don't know the exact number, but mine is only S/N 295.) They also made a red-faced Char model and a green-faced generic Zeon one, but I've never seen them for sale.
I found it on eBay way back in '08 for around $300, felt reasonably confident it was real since it was a Japanese seller, and snapped it up. I've never seen another one on the international market.
My only complaint is that being an older watch and Japanese-market, it wears pretty small, the case is about SKX-sized but the bezel and face are smaller than a Weekender, and it takes a 20mm strap.
I've been meaning to find an appropriately Gundam-colored but tasteful NATO to wear it with.
>>52092966
Oh, I remember seeing your pics now.
Every time I see this one I think the shutter was "dragged" after the flash popped and then I realize what's going on.
>>52092311
Here's my Gundam watch.
Newly acquired.
Both are quartz.
Both have balance wheels.
>>52093194
Interesting, that's one I've never seen. How old is it?
No idea, my brother got it for me in Japan. The box has no information at all.
>>52092966
>it's fucking beautiful
i'll zuck ya dick for it

Sorry dude. Unless you're a 10/10 girl, you aren't my type.
>>52093155
Great looks, isn't it? Sadly, I have yet to take better pictures af this almost impossible dial.
>>52074881

had it for 7 years now it's a charm
>>52076798
I like these models but complete metallic
>>52093062
Are there normal, more easily found models of that watch? I wouldn't mind a gundam one but I bet they're more expensive and hard to find.
>>52093507
The Navitach shared the movement, but the face, case, and bezel seem to be unique to the Gundam ones.
Which one shall I wear?
>>52092498
How is it IRL?
>>52093828
Pretty quiet, pretty light, tends to be like half a minute ahead of time after 2 days or so. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase. The band that came with it was pretty shit though, and I'm not so sure about the perlon I have, but it works well enough for the moment.
>>52093893
Cheers, I might pick one up.

Is that a 9015? If it is then try regulating it, because they can run much more accurately.
>>52092518
If you ordered that off Ali they'll definitely refund or or send another one.
>>52094190
Fuck. Now I'm hungry too.
I'm gonna go to L'Kitchen an make myself a sandwich with an unholy amount of L'Turkey from Xmas with cheese and avocado.

Fixed that for you m8.
>>52094646
It is. If I open it up, will it still be waterproof?
>>52076777
I had a fitbit. Sold it last week because I never used it (still exercised, but couldn't be arsed to charge the thing and wear it running).

Basically the bisector line between the hour hand & 12, with the hour hand pointed at the sun, is your north/south line.

If you place the o-ring correctly and use some silicone grease on the threads, yes.

In all honesty, I've chosen my namefag not because of le maymay but to remember Ginanni Agnelli, le original L'Avvocato, but I'm starting to dig L'Avocado as well. Haha

>>52094646
>>52093893
Tisell Bauhaus watches do have 9015 movements.
If it's consistently running 20 seconds fast per day, then it should be fairly close to <3 seconds a day when regulated.
It's all about consistency.

Going off the rest of your watches I expected this to cost somewhere in the five digit range, but $900 is surprisingly inexpensive (comparatively of course).
I like the look of Daniel Wellingtons but don't want to pay $200 for a watch that costs $5 to make. Wat do?
>>52095885
Just get a fake one from aliexpress (or whatever site) for $5. Same shit as the real one.
>>52095885
Get the Denzel Washington
