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...

Ahh, I love both but prefer Nomos.

If it is going to be quartz, I say be digital. Have atomic clock time setting, solar charging, and never require service.

I have always wanted a Nomos and that model is amazing. The red sub second is as complex as any Nomos should be and red always looks stunning on a black dial. I love that watch....ahh , a timeless look in what I call a forever watch. BTW, for the wedding day my friend. I am married 29 years and that day stays with me more than the honeymoon as we have had many great times after, but the wedding day is unique.

Maybe a Doxa or Zodiac.

commented on The Line Between Tool Watch & Military Watch ·

Well the modern tool watch is most often digital. Climbing Mt Everest or working in an oil field or fighting a war - mostly G-Shocks, though not exclusively. Hikers and the like often prefer a fit bit, or sports watch with GPS. ~20% of people in my office wear a smart watch. All of these are tool watches. I love mechanical watches, but just telling time is simply not enough as most people have a smart phone or computer screen always within reach. I know many many people who do not even wear a watch these days, the time is everywhere except maybe in a casino. So if you mean was designed as a tool watch, that is something different. A new Rolex Sub was designed as a tool watch, but today, for most, it is like a 4WD truck with dirt tires that never goes off road. It just makes a statement. Do I still like them, very much so. Subs and trucks 8-)

commented on Still one of my favorite original GMT and Pilot design watches - the Glycine Airman ·
