New Casio watches with short battery life

One of the reason I will not buy one of the latest Casio's is their dependence on being charged daily if not weekly. What is a "Rangeman" that needs t...

Here is the next generation, bigger display, more flexible band. Oh yes, just what we want, wearing a full computer on our wrist. May as well be a tracking device.

Tudor is to those whom are not watch enthusiast, virtually unknown. Most will simply see it as a Rolex Knock Off. Watch enthusiast have many opinions on Tudor. My opinion, Dive Computers are the tool watch for divers, no longer mechanical watches. Most people whom like the look of a dive watch should get one, just know it is not what a serious diver would choose for diving. Bottom Line: If you like it, get it. The quality of Tudor is excellent.

A few pocket knives and a massive number of bottle caps from my childhood.

commented on Tattoos and Watches...Where are my tattoo brothers and sisters!?! ·

It does not add to a watch or vice versa. If anything, it is a distraction as I am more likely to notice tats as they can be seen from a greater distance.

commented on Do we really need lume? ·

Nope. Unless you are in a cave with complete darkness, most watches cab be legible even in a move theater because of the reflected light from the screen. And if you had lume, most fade fairly rapidly other than Tritium or dare I say Radium. (A good Radium lume is not available that I know of). I happen to prefer Casio digital G-Shocks which all have lighting.

commented on Is 36mm too small for a diver? (Review link) ·

Most divers started wearing dive computers years ago. That said, if you like the look and it meets your needs, it is awesome! Maybe these beauties should be called vintage dive style watches. I have several, but they are no longer for diving. That said, the size goes with the vintage application.

commented on Kevlar's WRUW ·

Thats the problem with a great watch, there is no reason to buy another. It is proof you have won the battle against consumerism, the dopamine release of a new watch, and the disappointment as it shows wear.
