Mini photoshoot

I started to take photos (with a camera, not my phone) in May and I quite like it, but I pretty much only shot birds and other wildlife. Yesterday, I...

My first dive watch!

Ever since getting into this hobby at the end of last year, dive watches hadn't really spoken to me. Recently, the Casio Duro caught my eye, partly be...

Which watch should I take?

Hi everyone! I'm going to my hometown for a day this week, and I would like to take only the watch on my wrist, just to keep it simple. The thing is, I'll go walk a trail in the woods in the afternoon...

Very nice! They remind me of Kuoe a little bit with the size and the railroad track pattern around the dial.

I'm pretty sure they're judgy until you start chatting and then maybe they change their mind if you're nice and a little bit knowledgeable about the watches you're looking at. :p

It's quite a long trip to go there, at least from Montreal, but I was lucky enough to go to play a show in a small town about an hour outside of Bordeaux. It was a real treat!!

Gladly! It's a place called Bijouterie Mornier in Bordeaux, France. They had a very nice selection of different brands, and even the super fancy clock that JLC make.

It's a nice memory! The guy was so nice even though he probably knew I wasn't going to buy anything 😅

One of my friends took a picture from outside the boutique, and you can see I was clearly not dressed to go into a fancy place to try on expensive watches! 😂

I tried an Omega Speedmaster in a nice boutique while I was on a trip, and only had my G-Shock DW-5600 with me so I didn't even think about it. While taking it off to try the Speedmaster, I mentionned it's really not as nice of a watch, and the guy said something like "G-Shocks are god tier watches!". He was really chill about it and even offered to let me try on the yellow gold Speedy with green dial afterwards!

I'd go for Casio, they have a good variety of models and fit my budget! Plus I wear a G-Shock almost every day anyway.

Water resistance?

Ok so a G-Shock has 20 atm water resistance. That's plenty to go swimming, and even diving it would seem (not that I plan to do so). What bugs me is t...

Do you prefer a hand-wound or an automatic movement?

Part of the reason why I'm into watches is the romantic idea of winding my watch every morning. That intimate, almost meditative time when it's just you and your watch; you set the time, you wind it,...
