I finally got my Timex badge.

It took me longer than I thought... apparently they're not as popular as Casio, despite having some really cool offerings. Worse production value and...

Which Casio World Time do you prefer?

The most basic Casio digitals have one thing that G-Shocks lack: Under-sleeve wearability. From the other side, they have just one alarm, only 1h stop watch, no timer and usually lousy back light. I h...

I'm no green brain, but current Czech president, former AČR and NATO general, got a Prim Orlík Generál. Not sure if it's the best watch, but it's undeniably cool:

Orlík was originally an experimental stainless steel watch for army divers in the 1960's, but not many were built. It served as a base for a popular chrome-plated model Sport. But with this military heritage, a reissue was in order. Prim like to do limited editions, and this one was made for generals. Having a watch made specifically for service to one's country is one hell of a flex. Also, all in-house.

commented on To those of you who own a watch with a black coating over the steel, how do you feel about your purchase now? · 3 hrs ago

Let me applaud you for logically complete poll options!

Also: My first watch (it was a gift, I didn't buy it) was painted black. Painted! In a few years, the coat literally peeled off and uncovered a base metal of dubious quality. No regrets with a cheapo children's watch, but I'd definitely opt for PVD or DLC on a grown-up one. If I wanted a black watch, that is.

I don't like pilot watches. 💁 So, it's easy for me. Black Bay is balanced and Air-King is the good kind of weird.

I'm no expert, but how old is the battery? Can there be dirt in the resonating parts?

Who makes the best affordable dive watches?

Citizens are brutish, Seiko have QC problems, Orient lack ISO certification. And AR. And they could do something about the small crowns on some models. But they're all great. Who is the best, though?...

Which cliché phrase do you dislike most?

Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo is an italian film, why did it become an opener for watch reviews? And there are more clichés in the watch scene. What other ones do you know?

"The good, the bad, and the ugly" (no Clint Eastwood))

"Pull the trigger" (no firearms, just a watch purchase)

"Acquisition" (why so pretentious?)
