Is it original, and has anyone tried it? A newish Skmei.

Analogue quartzes - tell tale signs of the cheap and nasty.

commented on Before you dismiss Apple Watch ·

I do not like pieces of technology with pretty much built-in obsolescence, so Apple products are not for me. I once tried to re-purpose a refurbished Mac as a software development machine and encountered a whole host of artificial hurdles put up by Apple to stop me and take more money from me. The idea of a watch-like thing I have to re-charge every other day does not appeal to me in the first place, but from Apple it is a NO.

The GS is nice, but you could not pay me to wear the Hublot. Not one of their ugly range but a chunker.

I would have picked the 1926 if I did not know that it is too large (42mm) for its type. So, the Conquest.

commented on How many watch boxes do you have? ·

I have 5. 4 of them are 24-slot boxes and one is a watchwinder with 4 wheels and another 10-or-so slots. Just a shame that I have run out of space anyway.

Acceptable precision loss for a quartz in 6 months?

I used to absolutely not bother about the accuracy of my quartz watches, simply assuming that they are all super-accurate, adjusting them once in a blue moon when switching timezones and then a little...

Review of another Casio clone

The Skmei 1381 looks exactly like a Casio DB360 - at first glance anyway. I already owned the Casio and wanted to know how its knock-off would compare...
