Just when I thought I was out!

A screaming good deal on a Nodus Sector GMT Metro pulls me back in. Oh hai Mark.

My cousin’s G-Shock

For context, my cousin died suddenly in 2005 when he was 27. As I was at his mom’s (my aunt’s) house after work today helping her with a couple of thi...

My holiday weekend

Just about to head out the door for a 2-day backpacking/camping trip and decided this was the watch to take. What’s everyone else doing this weekend?

I got my first G-Shock as a watch to wear while hiking and camping . . . and then the rabbit hole opened up and I fell right down it. I have 3 now, and they’re still the only watches I wear while I’m in the woods, at the gym, or on my bike, but I also wear them as dailies when the mood strikes me.

My boss is into watches and has a few (mostly wears a Tissot T-Touch at the office), but he doesn’t get as deeply nerdy about it as I do.

Looks like a great trip!

Camping without dogs is no camping I want any part of. We went to Salamonie State Forest in NE Indiana, and this guy had the time of his life (and then slept for an entire day after we got home).

I have the 1918 Trench in 37mm. It’s a fantastic watch, especially for the price.

I have the SRPG29, which is the same model except with a blue dial. Yes it’s only got a hardlex crystal and hollow end links, but I still think it’s a great watch and would recommend it to anyone looking for a field watch in the sub-$500 range.

I think you'll find that there's just as much appreciation for affordable watches here as there is attention given to watches that cost more than my car.

Did I just order my “exit watch?”

After giving it a lot of thought, I have decided on (and have just ordered) the Islander “Ghost” Bayport. If any of you remember my post from a couple...

NWA! My new GW-B5600BL

This isn’t my first G-Shock, but it’s my first 5600, and it has instantly become my favorite since arriving today. I mean, just LOOK at those colors....

Seiko SRPG35

I love how rugged this watch looks and feels on a tropic strap as opposed to the stock NATO.

The Lurking Fear

Do you primarily lurk, or do you post/comment? I keep seeing polls with hundreds of votes, and I think “there’s no way that many people are posting here regularly.” Maybe there are (my math skills are...

I enjoy a good lurk

I like to post, even if it’s only occasionally

How does sleeve length affect your choice of watch?

My love for the Flightmaster has never waned one bit since I got it, but I’ve found that I only want to wear it on days when I’m wearing short sleeves...
