I tried to apple watch today, stupid store demo. The build quality and screen were nicer than I expected. The stupid heartbeat function was a lot more powerful than a vibrating alarm. It felt close to a dual shock controller.
I would buy if I did cardio, seems like a nice device and a step towards the future.

GF wants to get me a watch but she is on a tight budget.
Any ideas for any nice watches other than Seiko 5's under $100 and are 35-38mm? Looking into any style really.

How do you guys feel about citizen watches
>>53813222
Citizen makes great movements, comparable to Seiko, so is their external build quality. Too bad 99% of their watches are so ugly no one with any hint of taste would ever want one.

They make some nice watches, plus Miyota movements are pretty good.

15450 in steel is definitely one of APs best contemporary watches. Though it and the 15202 are pretty much the only contemporary APs worth a damn.
Pretty gaudy in gold and anyone who tries to pass a 15400 in gold as a dress watch is clearly the ROO demographic.
>>53813845
Yup, I'm a poorfag, but there are a lot of watches that are a lot more expensive than this one that I respect and admire, and would like to have.
Just cause your shit royal oak is expensive doesnt make it not tasteless or nice. Its ugly as fuck bro, and tacky. If a less respected company had put out that same design first, it would have been rightly shunned.
>>53813944
The Royal Oak was designed by Jean-Claude Biver you incurable philistine, the man who single handedly saved Swiss watches from the quartz plague. It is a widely imitated and high respected masterpiece of horology.
Stick to your Tisshit and Shitizen faglord

That is equally as disgusting.
>>53814229
"objective taste" is a contradiction in terms you homosexual
if you have zero experience owning/wearing/using something, your opinion of it is invalid
>>53814290
You're just being silly. I can have an opinion on the design of a watch without buying it.
>>53813898
15202 or bust
>>53814074
An ugly and gaudy watch is an ugly and gaudy watch no matter who designed it.
And you're proving my point. If it didn't have that history behind it, or was of a different brand, you would probably agree with me. But you're judgement is so clouded by what you deem to be horologically significant, that you can't see an ugly watch for what it is.
We can all appreciate what's important about that watch, but only little fags like you who crave the acceptance of other "watch afficianados" will actually walk around with such an ugly watch

>>53814792
Actually you're an emoticon-posting reddit faggot
>>53814572
It's a gorgeous watch you miserable chimpanzee. The case is finished to perfection. The dial and bezel are perfectly symmetrical. The lugs are sized to prevent the bracelet from having a bad taper. Pictures don't do it justice. But you wouldn't know because you've never even seen one in person.
>>53814475

If you guys weren't so insecure about buying expensive ugly watches, you wouldn't concern yourself with miserable chimpanzees posting online ;)
>>53814916
ROOs are pretty hard to look at in my opinion. They mostly exist for the new money shitters that want something flashier and bigger. The 41mm case is already oversized for all but the largest wrists. The complications aren't even made in house, as I understand it.
Too much blending of materials and textures. And they're heavier than sin
The SNK809 is on sale for $57.50 on Amazon right now. Should I wait out for a lower price, or cop it?

Really good. I though it would be hard to adjust to my size but I wasn't hard at all. Took like 20 mins. Still a tiny bit loose so sometimes a hair or two will get stuck but it's a small price to pay for such a dank watch
>>53816352
Why not spend that money on a mail order bride instead? Bam, now you can be miserable with a woman who doesn't speak much English.

1st for smart watches
>>53820792
Shittiest smartwatch with Daft Punk's shittiest album.
>>53820792
That watch seems a bit too big for you anon :^)
Look at pic related. Notice how well the lugs curve with the wrist to make a snug and comfortable fit.
Notice how low profile the watch is to his wrist so he can easily pull his shirt over if need be but always has the convenience and class of a watch at his disposal.
Notice how the watch doesn't smother his wrist unlike yours which reminds you of that really fat girlfriend you met in college who you had sex with twice and then didn't talk to again.
Am sorry anon but that watch is just too big...Kinda like that girl you met back in college.

>>53823833
Too lazy to come up with a response so here's a contentless reply :^)
Looks like Rolex has a watch with an all-numeral dial now in the form of the new Air-King.
Too bad it looks like shit. Why can't they just make a proper 1-12 dial, maybe as a variant of the Datejust, Explorer, Submariner or Milgauss? Or just bring back the Observatory.
The guy isn't found around very much. I even managed to get the box and original strap, which is pretty rare for these obscure Russian watches.

Not wrong, it's really hard to get on and flys off the wrist when you undo the clasp. If it was worn every day though, I think it might be fine.

It does work, there's just very little distortion. The date window is actually tiny.
>>53824036

I have that and a few Android watches. You can live without them, but if your someone that gets a lot of business emails or messages, they are very useful. Very few useful apps for any platform right now. My favourite aspect about the Android watches is the custom faces. You can chuck on a new band and change the face and basically have a completely different watch.

>Can be dressed up
nope
If subs and speedmasters are considered dressy nowadays then this is too.
Its 40mm so the size is fine for fitting under a cuff.

If you like it then buy it, but it looks very bulky, and can't be dressed up.
And an interesting dial doesn't have to be so cluttered.

That shit is enormously busier than even a speedy. Not even close to being able to dress up.

I'm still mad I didn't snap one up for $400 a few weeks ago. I bought a SARX013 instead though.

Someone in Worst Korea was selling one on WUS I think for that price, it was the white one though which I think is the inferior model, if the crown pip was like pearl or some other white bit it would really be nice but the black just doesn't fit. So I didn't buy it right away and two days later it was gone.
