thanks for updating your blog
i find watches painfully restricting. both physcially and psychologically.
I guess they are for some people and not others.
The poorfag classic.

Someone else wears my watch! So flattering.

My nigga
Doing AT thru hike next year. Any recommendations? Idgaf about gps or altimeter. Time and barometer most important. Is there any hiking barometer that is small and not battery powered?
>>762646
Use the compass to find a wrist that can actually handle that watch faggot.
>>762646
Specs says 12 month battery life in time mode. The fuck does that mean? What if altimeter, barometer, and everything is turned on?
>>762737
>if everything turned on?
about 72 hours
Also, watches, gay as fuck.
I'm thinking of buying a watch that has an altimeter. Do you guys have any suggestions or brands to avoid? I don't really care about it being too fancy or fashionable.
>>762807
Why is altitude important to you? You could get a proper gps, use your phone or use a compass and a topo map and get a good idea of it.
Im taking an ACMG course, and in addition to a gps they want us to have an altimeter, and I need a new watch anyways.
>>762805
Can you turn off the altimeter to save bettery, or set the barometer to only check every X hours to also save battery?
>>762721
Edgy meme. Sad life when you're 24 and still can't get black hairs.
>>762737
>>762805
>>762831
Don't know what you're talking about with switching the other features off. I think they just sleep if you're not on the tabs, but I've never "turned off" these features and have had the watch operating normally for about 6 months. I also have the storm alarm on most of the time.
>>762608
Fyi, it's a casio protrek, I've had my current one for over four years, worn pretty much daily with no issues yet.
>>762633
I have this in masterrace black face
What is a good basic analog watch? I like the look of Braun's line but i hear they are bad quality especially for the price
>>763216
What about a Timex? Depends how cheap you're looking for. Timex is cheapest. I think you can get a Luminox for $150 but I'm not sure.
>>763216
Seiko SKX
Thought this didn't have a backlight, but it does. Might be the 5600 that doesn't. Still don't know why this costs $100. Would be an instant buy for me at $60-70
>>762840
>Sad life when you're 24 and still can't get black hairs.
Very sad life being white and having blond hair.
>>763378
This is a good choice. I just picked one up myself. The lume is pretty solid and it has the day and date as well which is nice. Seems very sturdy for being /out/ but also looks nice enough to wear to a nice dinner etc
>>763602
So the carpet matches the curtains? That's adorable.
>>763624
It is. As for watches, a cheap Casio will do just fine.
>>762038
It's not only for poorfags. It does tell the time as well as a Breitling.
Casio literally has hundreds of variations of watches. How the fuck do they not have 2-3 of their most popular styles with practically every combination of features? Give me a 5610 with a vibration alarm, or another with a thermometer.
>>763660
They force you to buy the more expensive model, that's how it works. They cripple their cheaper models like every other manufacturer, be it navigation devices, watches, phones or anything.
>>762010

Do any of you actually use the altimeter, thermometer, or barometer of hiking watches while doing multi day hikes on marked trails? Of those, the barometer seems like the only one I'd like to have.
>>765354
Altimeter might be usefull to find out where you are in relation to the predicted 0° celcius level, but I just use topo maps for that. Barometer is actually usefull to prepare for incoming rain/snow, maybe an anemometer too. I've never checked the temp while /out/ tho, it's sort of irrelevant imo.
>>762038
I'm very bad at keeping watches intact, I scratch the glass, overwind them, the straps break and the watch falls off never to be seen again, so instead I buy one of these every three or four years, according to how long the thing lasts, if the strap breaks and I can't fit another I will glue the watch body to an old leather key ring and use it on my motorcycle keys as a way to know the time without having to fiddle with my gloves.
In short I love these things.
>>762038
My nigga
I've had one of these for like ten years. They're fucking indestructable.
>>765354
I don't hardly use any of the ABC features, but it is nice having a compass backup on my wrist at all times.
>>765403
So you just bought it because it's cool
>>765354
Yes, though I use them more for skiing/mountaineering/biking.
I'm also a watch enthusiast so i like my automatic watches - this one i wear not so often outdoors because its a limited edition and i can't replace it if I would break it
>>765488
So most of the time I'm wearing this Praetorian Signifer Automatik - I love the H3 it's so cool in the nighttime
pls gib
>>765414
>So you just bought it because it's cool
Yep. Tacticool!
>>762010
Could I get some recommendations for reasonably priced watches that have an altimeter, barometer, and obviously an alarm?
>>766928
also interested
solar or kinetic would be good, too, but maybe pushes it past the 'reasonably priced' bracket
>>766928 is me
For anyone lurking I've found this watch that's got good reviews and isn't expensive at all only thing its missing is a barometer, however I've done without it previously. It's $42.

>>762712
Altimeter is extremely underrated. You won't care about distance, just how many more vertical feet to the next peak.
>>767143
This, altimeter is hugely helpful if you are reading a topographic map, it helps you verify your location if there isn't many monuments around
>>765488
does your dad know you are gay?
>>767147
If you can't see reference points by sight the chip in your device won't be able to calculate your altitude you gumbo. Go play operator at your containment board
I do need a relatively cheap watch that can take a beating, specifically for outdoor work. Keep posting, anons.

Also
>projecting this hard
>>762010
I really prefer not to wear a watch while /out/. I wear one all week for work so I like the sense of freedom. I keep an eye on the sun so I know when to set up camp and I take a cheapo compact digital travel clock to set an alarm for the morning to avoid sleeping in.
>>765362
>temperature irrelevant
Yeah it's always seemed a bit odd to me. You're outside so you can feel the temperature, what's the point in knowing the exact number?
>>768225
Curiosity.
>>768118
I'm seriously thinking the g shock 5610 has got to be the best basic outdoor watch.
>>768225
calculating wind chill
>>769247
In 20 years of hiking and climbing I've never once needed to know the wind chill, I'm not saying this to be an ass but if it's too cold to carry on you should find shelter and get your core temp back up before moving on
I've got a key chain thermometer that I almost never look at, I just tend to trust my instincts about this stuff.
>>765354
Nope
>>769247
Yeah but that's something you'll do when you are already sorted, like a passtime when you have your shelter fixed and you are just waiting for your water to boil. As something fun to do, yeah, it might be fun, but you'll need an anemometer with you as well
Are there any good portable (compass sized), solar or mechanical barometers for hiking?
>>762010
Suunto Regatta Been through hell and back but these ugly cunts just won't break. I never take the off my arm and I've never changed the sealing o ring even though I've changed the battery like 4 times already.
Thanks to the anon that got me into buying this.
Very happy with it, I only wish it had smaller numbers and tritium
>>768345
It is.
There are other solar 5600 on the market nowadays though. With colors and shit.
If you're not wearing it it will lose track of time eventually. Like minutes difference, which is not great for obsessive people like myself.
I switched to a 4000 1aer from the 5610
>>769924
Plenty in amazon, aliexpress, etc. It's not top tier hi tech so any cheap one will do (15-20 dls).
>>766928
That's one qt catter.
>>762646
Had this, but recently got the g-shock rangeman. Will be cool to test out

My niggers
solar powered cheapo watch
So my Seiko kinetic has started doing the 2 second jump thing and I'm pretty sure the capacitor has finally kicked it - it's 7 years old!
Looking for a temporary watch with following criteria:
- Digital
- 38mm case size (or similar, not some big hulking thing)
- Alarm
Cheaper the better, and I'm a europoor so please no US specific deals.
Will be buying a SKX013 (smaller brother of the SKX007 pic attached) as soon as I have the disposable income.
>>772299
You can't go wrong with the Casio F-91W. The must have watch for any /k/ or /out/ poster.
I paid 15 eyro for it
>>773003
add 4.00€ and you can has real waterproofness
https://de.casio-shop.eu/shop/marken/casio-collection/w-201-1avef/
>>773003
I once knew a sheep herder that was like 90 and always speaking his mind, the guy was extremely based and in great health.
The guy had the insides of an F-91 (no straps or case) inside his pocket and said it was the only watch he needed his whole life and that it was awesome.
>>773021
But desu that looks like a turd strapped to your wrist
>>763592
got it, worth the 120 EUR.
most durable, simple yet powerful watch ever.
the secret alpha under the casios.
>>773822
The 5600s are not bad but they get hickups of some miliseconds and fall behind.
Also the time is always changed a bit when they fade to sleep mode, if you leave them for long periods of time the time will change and you'll have to adjust it.
Also:
>No bullbars
>No carbon fiber strap
>No steel hardcase on back
>Not atomic
>Secret alpha
Yeah, no.
You could have lurked more for better 5600s senpai
>>773855
Forgot to mention:
The sides of the resin bezel are not screwed to the main body, so they will open up eventually with humidity and heat, and you'll have to close that shit with superglue.
>Hidden alpha
>>773808
why would you wear a watch arround the wrist?
Thoughts, guys?
Only 38 quid.
Can these G-shocks take regular straps? I have a hard on for nato straps and hate this rubber shit.
>>767139
But it says it has a barometer in the description. Lovely find. Thank you for sharing.
>>774009
That's not a g-shock
>>774009
g-shock says it on the face, that's just a rugged looking normal casio.
I wear my speedmaster professional.
>>774636
/thread
Fuuuuuuck
>>773021
I like it. It looks like they've taken the f91w and removed all the autism. I think this might have to be my next purchase, thanks bro
have some class faggots
/out/ and /fa/ are more accepting of digital watches than /g/ is.
What the fuck? Are the people on /g/ just pretentious?
>>774700
>What the fuck? Are the people on /g/ just pretentious?
Have you heard about compensating?
>>774697
I do, which is why I don't flash my rolex around like some poorfag nigger
Planning to buy pic related. I just want something simple for casual wear in and /out/
I'm going innawoods next month. I'll probably wear my Submariner.
Just my Timex Weekender. I'm not one for bells and whistles on a watch.
>>776090
Man I wish the timex analogs weren't so loud.
casio w 800 h.
>>776084
Where and when exactly are you going to be alone in the woods with a 5 thousand dollar watch? Just curious.
>>767139
>>774282
Well I've purchased it and it came yesterday, what I've noticed so far is that the thermometer always sits at 80-95F simply because it picks up body heat? I'm not sure but I was never buying it for the thermometer anyways.
my watch was great
2 alarm
2 time zones
timer
stopwatch
light
100m
then I lost that Freestyle Shark Predator and got this other Freestyle Shark Predator with only 1 alarm, no timer, 1 time zone, and the rest. But its still good
Hi /fa/shion
What kind of socks should I wear to match my boyfriends cock ring while he is deeply fucking me up the ass because I am a huge faggot?
I love g shocks. I've put this thing through hell.
>>762010
Luminox bros! Had this 8002 since 2007, it's freakin' indestructible, still looks nearly new.
>>765488
Nice. Fuckin' love Oris, one of the few truly independent Swiss makers left.
>>774636
No you don't, unless that's not your pic.
>>774697
>Rolex
>Class
>>778147
I don't really know but probably you have to calibrate it, the same as the altimeter and all the other stuff.
>>774636
Get a wrist fuccboi
>>776935
Maybe he likes to use it, hence why he bought the watch in the first place? I keep seeing this attitude on /out/ where people can't fathom owning or doing expensive stuff for any reason besides showing off. What's up with that?
The scope and rifle I hunt with are worth $2,500 and relatively few people ever see that. Is this also confusing?
>>778216
It's not just expensive things, it's stuff which is unnecessarily fancy, ie taking a $5000 watch innawoods, or using a needlessly complicated and flashy stove setup (jetboil) just to boil water instead of using a fire.
Being /out/side should be about simplicity, and doing things yourself, with your own hands. If you're carrying stupid poof gadgets then you're entirely negating the whole point.
>>778216
But having said that, an expensive scope would be something quite apropos; there's nothing simpler that a scope is needlessly replacing.
What would draw /out/'s ire is if you had one of those guns that aims and shoots for you.
Does that make sense? It's important to define the quality of our hate.
>>778170
These are fine and reliable watches. I just don't like the operator look tho, but nice machines they are
>>762010
Luminox is based
>>778506
Luminox is shit to the point of scam.
They're not even waterproof and the tritium falls off.
Their customer service is utterly shit and almost insulting.
It's just a brand for fat neckbeards and army rejects.
SEALs wear whatever they want including g-shocks, not that shit.
>>778170
What model?
That negative display looks amazingly readable
>>778147
Casio gimmicks dont work well
Get a watch that tells the hour, a good gps, a good compass, a good barometer etc...
>>774697
nice fake bro

>>778181
I really do. It is my pic. I just take care of it. And it's pretty new.
>>779195
Alright then post pic of you wearing it out
>inb4 I don't have one
>inb4 posting pic with you way way in the background so you can't see the watch
>>779218
I can't show you a pic of me wearing it when out, because when I'm out I don't sit on my phone photographing my watch like some /g/ fag.
Here's another pic I just took.
>>779259
Of course not. You only act like a fag when you're at home, on /out/
>not your watch
>>779281
Alright, here you go, faggot
>>779410
It took too posts by some random anon for you to do that? You really need to harden up m8, you can barely stand any pressure.
>>779432
M8, I'm at work. Hardley got anything better to do.
>>779410
But of course you don't take it /out/
...
of the box, except for photos
>>778170
>through hell
Get on my level.
Simple Swatch from 1999. Have never had to replace the battery. Keeps time like a champ.
Don't need much else.
>>780361
Also have this but I feel like I should wait until I'm an old man to wear it.
Never take it off.
Hey, im a raft guide and im looking for a reasonably priced, durable, waterproof watch I can keep on the outside of my lifejacket full time.
I keep buying 15$ Walmart watches that last for 2 months before breaking.
>>778506
Luminox biggest shit
I got this today since it's solar powered and a gshock (GW-M5610-1ER)
>>763592
You can have it so the light auto comes on when you look at the watch if it's dark
