Achievement Unlocked: How did you manage that?

I don’t know how either. One day I looked down and there it was: a knick in the titanium bezel and a scratch in the sapphire crystal. It’s faint, but...

Bertucci A-11t Americana: First impressions

Well I finally bit the bullet and bought a watch. Decided on the Bertucci because it’s a US brand which actually assembles in the country (as an Ameri...

Do G-Shocks count as tool watches?

I mean, I think they are. They have a purpose other than looking pretty (getting beat up), they can time whatever you need it to, they’re used by prof...

Make the current Seiko 5 dive watches 200 M water resistant. For the prices they are charging, I feel like the dive watches should be diver level water resistant. If Casio G-Shock can do it, y'all can too

commented on Best Budget Small Watches (Under 40mm)? ·

Under 40mm would be considered smaller for me, as I have a 7" wrist and have only 40mm and up watches.

As for budget, under $500 would be nice.

I often go back and forth on with I prefer, often when thinking of a purchase that I end up never making. Overall, yes, quartz is objectively better. Better accuracy, far superior shock resistance (once wore my Seiko SRPD on a bumpy bike ride; went from spot on to about 30 seconds slow from just little trip), set it and forget it, you can hang around speakers and amps without a care, and no need to reset them if you choose to wear a different watch for a few days. But there's something for that smooth sweep and watching the rotor and mainspring bounce when I'm bored that just makes mechanical watches that much more special.

commented on Dear Tag Heuer ·

I think it's cool, and as one who plays a lot of video games I really think it'd be nice to have, but why Tag Heuer? Timex, Casio, etc would have been better for your target audience. You know, all ages. Ones that don't have $4000-$25000 to spend on a Mario watch?

commented on A Weird Poll ·

Take the Chrono. It's using an Epson movement, so the chronograph hand sweeps. Also the mechanical Cali dial does not hack. I think hacking is a must

It's your watch. Your property. What's the difference between doing this to a G-Shock than the AP? A price tag and a wait time. If you shell out thousands of dollars on a watch, and wait god knows how long for it, you earn the right to mod it to your heart's content

commented on Bulova Lunar Pilot Hidden Date? (S P A C E) ·

A guy on the forum, WatchChris, posted a photo and short on his YouTube page about it. Looks great, albeit an early unit. They are making a sudo Snoopy version as well with the blue panda dial. Just in time for Artemis I to (maybe) go to the moon

Dive Bezel + Chronograph makes no sense

What's the point? The Dive Bezel is ment to be an easy to read chronograph anyway, so I really don't get why some companies slap both on there. Any th...
