I'm new here. Budget collection 💪

Collection has exploded a bit recently with 7 of these being bough in the last 4 years.

Starting from top right:

  1. Withings Steel HR. Had to try the smart watch thing out.

  2. 90's Elektronika from Belarus. made up of 2 watches. My favourite of the collection.

  3. f91 with a strap that cost more than the watch

  4. Another franken Elektronika

  5. Hublot

  6. HMT JANATAIndian eBay special, £16. If it dies, it dies but working well so far and keeping time.

  7. ORIENT AUTOMATIC 46941- Another drunk night on eBay. £26 from India and my current daily driver. Accurate and reliable so far.

  8. Lorus field watch, the Lumibrite steal one. It's bright enough to walk by at night.

  9. 1979 Seiko 5 with Full Lume. Didn't like the yellow but its growing on me. Got this locally and is in amazing condition.

  10. Gold plated Automatic Citizen GN-4W-S. Another inebriated night on eBay. Day/date is a bit ropey bit keeps time for the most part. Winding is crunchy AF

Elektronika and which others are new to you?

Hey Colin, welcome 😁

Nice collection you've got, i also collect on a budget 🤑👍

Love the Withings HR, but wish they went with a complete Panda design for it with a black bottom sub dial to match the top screen 😉 Otherwise i think it is one of the more classy looking smart watches you can get 😁

·

withings and janata looks pretty cool and clean, but i like the hublot most 👍

·

The Hublot is outstanding 😊

The Withings as seen the most use out of all my watches. Its also the smaller dial but I agree on the second black dial. I cant unsee that now. The step counter is useful but the notifications are an annoyance and I apricate being less connected now. Still gets 3 weeks in between charges.

I did not expect the Smart watch to get the most attention out of this post.

a smart watch with 4 weeks between charges, when new atleast. These are overlooked

The Janata...?

Welcome to the WC! I am on a budget, also! 😎

From reading your post I may affirm that one of life’s assertions — ‘loss of inhibition due to increased inebriation equals a positive gradient in watch acquisition — has successfully been empirically demonstrated.

·

Lmao @ the Hublot 🤣🤣

·

The Hublot joke just casually tossed in...

Very interesting collection and welcome!

·

Welcome! Colorful collection. Well done, Sir. 🌈

·

Welcome, love that lego watch 👍

·

By the way, what movement does that Hublot have? Asking for a friend. @NicoLeanord hahaha Please don't mind me. There are a bunch of haters of Hublot in this world. I'm not one of them. That one looks sharp.

·

Welcome😊 Love your sence of humor! My son has that "hublot" as well🤣

·

Welcome,what a great collection and you don't have to spend a fortune , as someone who's got India specials and drunken purchases a double hello from me👍

·

Keep it cheap!😉

·

Welcome to WC!

Cheers!

Yeah i find that notifications can be quite a bother, but if you turn them off i like the data tracking of a smartwatch. Actually if i could have the tracking and no noticable display on the watch i would love it. I can check the stats on my phone when i want, no need to show me my heart rate all the time. Or in the Withings example give me a sub dial.

Welcome. Nice collection. Surely a second watch box is coming soon.

Might give it a spin again on a grey leather strap and notifications limited to my onlyfans subs
