commented on Date or No Date? ·

A date is a must for me because when I have to sign off forms and authorisations I'll want to double-confirm even if i  read the date in the morning.When $ is involved...

Even on off dates, the date is important to be easy to access for the way I live my life...

Also save myself the embarrassment when I have to fill in a form and struggling to get the phone out of my pocket, the receptionist looks at their SMARTWATCH and then tells you the date.

Eh that YT channel is sensationalist click-bait. It is on my block list for nearly a year now.

I've seen these S5s at an AD. Low cost, in resin, maybe can beat them up more than the usual S5. Not as resilient as a G-Shock, but a nice mechanical beater alternative that can take more abuse without scars showing like they do on steel watches.

commented on What does the community think about gold watches? Would you wear one? ·

It's just a question of whether it fits the person. 

In Indian culture gold is widely appreciated as an accessory so it will be highly acceptable even if the colour match is not ideal.

For me, gold does not suit my skintone.

Back in the 2000s when I first started looking at watches and saw a Seiko S KX as a non-watch person , I thought, "that's a cheap looking pretend-Rolex". Sentiment still remains today - as that initial impression was so genuine.

Nice business strategy, just not my thing.

Not much different from a  girl buying a LV-lookalike bag. It's not a crime and some people are happy with it. And the girls laugh about it with their friends.

Mushy, fiddly chrono pushers. 

The product page showed vintage yellowish markers... as you can see, the real thing is a far cry.

60-min totalizer is mecha-quartz. But 0.2s chrono counter is quartz. What kind of half-a** movement is this? Either do a full-quartz or full-mecha quartz.

No 0.2s markers despite having a 0.2s chrono counter... My fault for not spotting this. I guess other chronos also have this problem.

Currently least favourite pick in the collection.
