Thoughts on the DW-H5600 ?

I was pretty excited that this did heart rate and a few other functions, while still being a normal looking 5600 case. But then I saw some of the reviews, and have hesitated on the purchase since. I k...

commented on Dearest Crunchers: ·

Well, tomorrow I will not have posted that early. I had a farm issue that kept me up past 1am so I figured I would get a jump on it and post, but the wruw doesn't roll over until 2am for my timezone, so I will usually be in bed and therefore not as quick.

I will usually be at the far disadvantaged end of the time zones.

commented on Damn it, Seiko. You did it again. ·

Looks beautiful, I like the green variant.

Possibly too big for me, would like to see them in person.

commented on WatchCrunch Photograph Club: Your weekly photography challenge! ·

I've been looking for interesting water all week, and haven't really found anything good, so I'm kinda gonna cop out and post this.

I call it "deflection, a #1wc cop out"

commented on Do we read any more? ·

I don't currently read watch blogs regularly, but they do come up if I'm searching for things, and then I spend a while reading, and usually some other articles will catch my attention.

They do show up in my Google "feed" on my Pixel, so sometimes they will grab my attention.

It really just depends on how much I have to do that day.

I'd love to read yours if you did start one though. Even if you're just doing it as a way to wind down at the end of the day, I'd say why not start it.

But for overall best dials, I would agree with the people saying GS.

commented on How many watch winders/spinners/shakers do you need? ·

None, have been doing just fine without one for 15 years, don't see any upcoming changes to that.

I might reconsider if I had a high end perpetual calendar/moon phase auto that was a huge pain to set, but I'll probably never drop that kind of cash on one.

commented on Is is just me that I associate Crunchers and their Avatars?! ·

Mine was also a mk3! Yes pretty slow. Forest green was a nice color then, I liked that one. Mine was black. Not too exciting, but a black 4 door was cheaper, and what I could afford at the time.

I do miss colors these days.
