>>18109477Indeed
>>18109357Don't invest in crypto and lose 200k like me. Just work and save
>>18109450Is this that most accurate watch in the world? How are you liking it? Does it scratch easily?
>>18109475Is that the replica?
>>18109475Fake
>>18109481Ok what's a job where I can actually save for a house and rental properties in a reasonable amount of time then so I can retire?
>>18109479>5 year old batteryThe watch will run slow once the charge gets lower, happens to every quartz watch. First 2 years were impressive though.
>>18109487I could tell you, but I would be creating competition so I don't think so buddy. Go live under a bridge and die.
>>18109490So why does this watch get so much hate? It is also way cheaper than the alternatives
>>18109475The case looks like a used Werthers Original's.

>>18109494GS fanboys cope&seethe idk. Just get the VHP if you like it.
>>18109500I mean they are saying "vhp 5spy have been widely debunked, just get a watch that is 5 times more expensive and is definitely not going to get any attention by normal people"
>>18109499My phone camera isn't the greatest so I reckon I had to compensate somehow.
>>18109504If you want it, go get it. Don't let your dreams be dreams.
>>18109504If you want attention from normal people you should be looking at something other than a haq quartz, it means nothing to them since a phone is always on time.
>>18109415>>18109430Rolex external finishing is extremely basic, and pretty much entirely done by machine. That's why even experts have trouble separating replicas from the real thing.This is something that would never happen with something like a GS, because the difference between zaratsu and "regular" case polish is extremely obvious irl.

When I was six years old my grandparents bought me a mini mouse Timex watch at Disneyland. I will be 60 years old next year and that watch has been on my wrist every day of my life since my grandfather bought it for me. I have been offered other watches but have never wanted anything other than the one that I had. I always said the same thing when this one stops you can buy me a new one. I have only ever had this one watch my whole life.
>>18109540next time you can just post>watchesbecause that list covers just about everything

>>18109353I have a Rolex oyster perpetual. How do I know it is authentic or not?
>>18109679Post closeups to r/watches saying how over the moon you are with your Rolex and that you finally made it. Make sure to say you don't have papers for it.
>>18109665It does. Most of them do. This one falls under the guilty pleasure category.
I find it so strange that most people here dont care about accuracy. How can you justify spending thousands on a watch that is less accurate than a phone?
>>18109691You seem to have quite many interesting quartz pieces. Do you have a collection pic?
>>18109692>How can you justify spending thousands on a watch that is less accurate than a phone?it functions without having to be connected to any jew, except the one that services it, I supposealso, your phone or basically any other electronic is hot dogshit at keeping time if you disconnect it from the internetit's going to drift way worse than even the cheapest casio
>>18109695Yes, this is why I want a high accuracy quartz. I dont like the feeling of being constantly monitored and tracked by a phone etc.
>>18109692It may seem confusing, but accuracy matters less the richer you get.If you're a fry cook, seconds matter. A few seconds are the difference between burning fries and keeping your job.If your boss tells you to be at work at 7:00 am sharp, you better not be a second late, but no one's there to tell the boss that he's late when he rolls in at 7:02.In the professional world, a meeting can be scheduled to start at 10:00 am, but it doesn't actually start until the director decides to call in.Beyond that, business is done on the golf course, which is a famously un-timed sport.tl;dr: when you're rich enough to afford high-end timepieces, the true accuracy of any given watch correlates directly to how much power you have.
>>18109697You are missing the point MFIts not about needing an accurate watch, it is about demanding a watch to be accurate
>>18109692Accuracy is one factor of buying an expensive watch, but not the sole one and probably not even the most popular. If it meant anything, I'm sure there'd be a flippening of watch brands deemed as luxury
>>18109692>I find it so strange that most people here dont care about accuracy.Difficulty relating to other people's opinions and choices?Hyper-fixated on something extremely specific?
>>18109688LMFAO
Bros I want one so bad. Vintage would be fine too but I like the 2020 model actually. All this talk about Bulovas reminded me of these cool things.
>>18109719I just saw this yesterday for the first time. One of the wonkiest watches ever.
vacheron rolling in its shitgravehttps://a.aliexpress.com/_EyDTJDl
>>18109719It's quite big, isn't it?
>>18109719>Vintage would be fine tooIt doesn't exist vintage unless you're thinking of the tuning-fork Spaceviews, which are not too hard to find. The technology is completely different though.
>>18109605Supergeil
>>18109707I guess you're right.
>>18109734Redpill me, I thought they were basically the same. I just think they look cool as hell and the 2020 advertises a perfectly smooth sweep which is sexy.Are the vintages literally almost like a mini doorbell solenoid or something?
>>18109694Excuse the bad camera.
>>18109707I am now realizing I am autistic, it's a lot to take in.
>>18109771I like many watches in this collection.
>>18109727That's nice, but i prefer the miyota version of it.
>>18109771So far 100 % of Citizen 0100 owners have bad cameras, seems to be a rule.You have a heavy focus on movement side of watches, I like that. Nice to see the Omega is running true to the second btw.
>>18109786who's making that? got a link? haven't really seen too many chink driver watches desu
>>18109789The Omega seems to be on the gaining side. I think it runs at about +2 a day and it's pretty consistent in that.
>>18109771Get this man one high end Swiss piece stat

>>18109789I have an Xperia 1III. I find it hilariously ironic that Sony, the company that sources most of the smartphone industry's camera sensors can't the life of them put an actual camera on their own phones.
>>18109796Th- Thanks, anon.
>>18109769The movments have absolutely nothing to do with each other.The vintage Accutrons from the 60s use a tuning fork to regulate their frequency and move the geartrain with a very small ratchet wheel and pawl system.The modern Accutron uses a brand new electrostatic movement.
>>18109795I'm considering becoming a Lolexfag, but I like my kidneys too. It's such a conundrum.
>>18109769Also, vintage Accutrons come in a lot of different models, even with some complications (picrel has a GMT). The Spaceview with visible circuit are some of the mosty sought-after one along with the Astronaut GMT. The former because you can see the circuit which is nice but also for the fun fact that they were originally intended as window display pieces only but the demand was so large that Bulova ended up making them recular models in their collection. The latter for its flight cred and rarity.Also, do note that vintage Accutrons are vintage-sized whereas the modern electrostatic is pretty large as the technology is in its first and second generations in movements. Bulova is likely working on miniaturizing it.
>>18109769>>18109807hurrALSO important is : the new "Accutron Astronaut GMT" has a regular ETA movement. Not a tuning fork or an electrostatic. Same with their Legacy collections.
>>18109798aren't they actually praised for their great shitphone cameras? maybe your model is an outsider, or the app sucks major dickif it's possible to run gcam on it, it would probably be a visible improvement
>>18109806Unless you want one of the hype models (Daytona or GMT-Master II) or the unpopular models that are made in limited quantities (DeepSea Sea-Dweller) then getting a Rolex is not the challenge that it used to be.If you're looking for an OP, Exp1, or DJ you can even find ADs that carry them in stock. If they don't have what you want in stock, pretty much anything can be sourced in a few weeks.The only people left whining about wait lists are autists who think an autoresponse email they got from an AD "put them on the list" for a Daytona in 2020.
>>18109480Nice Hour Vision. Was that the first Omega to receive the Co-axial movements?
>>18109805>>18109807>>18109808Thanks anon. Pretty fascinating desu. Sounds like both vintage and modern might be worth picking up for me at some point. I'm very interested in all different kinds of movements, these both seem unique in their own ways. Part of the reason I want a spring drive too, something kinda different from your typical mechanical or quartz movements. Yeah watches are cool as fashion accessories but most of the appeal to me comes from having some sort of little tiny machine on my wrist, and the various ways that manufacturers have achieved that over the years is interesting to me.Not a wristlet so I should be able to handle the size of the newer one.Probably. A 2020 is an aspirational watch for me for sure, but I might be able to swing a used vintage one at some point.
>>18109818The first build from the ground up coaxial, yes. And they wanted to show it off like there's no tomorrow. It's the reason why there's sapphire flanking all sides of the case and why it's called The Hour Vision.
>>18109540You forgot >nato>chuffed
>>18109823>sapphire flanking all sides of the caseOh? Got any pics?
>>18109823Very cool. It's an underappreciated gem in Omega's catalog, especially the annual calendar version.
>>18109829Can you see inside the watch through them? Like Minase 5 and 7 windows?
>>18109819https://electric-watches.co.uk/There's a bunch of odd pre-quartz electric watches out there but be warned that if something goes wrong with them, repair will not be easy and it will only get worse as time goes on and the supplies of spare parts run thinner and thinner.
>>18109806Why would anyone want an inaccurate watch?
>>18109834Neat.jpgI don't necessarily need every possible type of movement but one or two notable ones from a genre might be fun.Besides servicing are there any other downsides to many of these? obviously they're battery powered, I'd have to assume battery life is worse than quartz since it's using inductive coils.I imagine accuracy might not be great either but I'm not overly concerned with perfect accuracy as long as it's not way way way off. Again I'm more a fan of the engineering in miniature and mechanisms than anything else.
>>18109829None of the sides. No. I have to admit, it took me a while to realise that there was also glass in the space between lugs and not only on the left and right sides. It feels more like a gimmick though but still it's pretty neat.>>18109830I've grown to distaste the presence of date windows on watches, so whenever I see them, especially when poorly implemented, it kind, rustles my jimmies. I find the annual calendar version is extremely guilty of this. It looks like it's tacked on.
>>18109838Nice, metal and glass look good together. The lugs are sexy too.
>>18109842It's a good looking saucer. The bracelet is solid too.
>>18109837I have a vintage Accutron and an electric Timex.The Accutron eats through batteries in 6-ish months and you need an isolating ring around the battery or else it will short the movement. The movements were designed for a type of battery that's not really produced anymore. It's not a big issue since you can just wrap some adhesive tape to the side of the battery, but still, if you take it to watchmakers who don't know about it, they might conclude it doesn't work at all when really they just shorted it. Otherwise, they are pretty sound movements and were very accurate for the time. The smooth seconds sweep is nice too. Main issue can be waterproofing due to the caseback "crown" not always being completely safe.The Timex also eats through batteries faster than your typical quartz. The way it works is, it sends magnetic impulses to regulate a balance wheel and also powers the geartrain. It has the same sort of geartrain you'd find in a regular mechanical watch except for the mainspring. That means you get a battery that drains quickly AND the inaccuracy of a cheaper mechanical watch. but hey, they were real cheap at the time. And now they're still have as wacky relics of a weirdly experimental age in watchmaking.
>>18109846I also like the art deco dial.
>>18109850It's why I got it. Gotta thank George Clooney (Mr. Omiga ambassador) for introducing me to it. "Up in the air" I think the movie was called. I had just gotten the Mido and saw this other watch with this metallic ring going around connecting the hour markers and I thought "Damn, this looks like my watch." And so I looked it up and saw it for the beauty it was.
>>18109771Smart man. Investing in a Raketa before the nuclear war.
>>18109605I like the lume pips, especially the double ones at 12 o'clock.
>>18109818Based. (That's the 42mm version, I presume?)I don't understand how Omega has managed to make the SMPO worse with every successive generation.One or two mistakes can be forgiven but what they're doing to the SMPO seems like it's on purpose.
My watch gains 2 minutes per day but apparently accuracy doesn't matter all of a sudden so I'm fine.
best of luck to San Martin, they are trying to go upscale now with this JiangHun subbrand.

Master Chronometer Bros... Our certification is of zero value.
>"""accuracy doesn't matter""" WAAAAAH!Did this guy get his antianxiety medications adjusted or something?
>>18109952>Our certification is of zero value.That's ok. Nothing else about you has any value either.
>>18109958>>18109956Post watch
>>18109921Yes. 42mm with the 2500-D variant. (the stable one that doesn't just randomly stop working)It's a great watch. It's listed at 42mm but it wears like a 40mm because of the asymmetrical case. It's 14mm thick but wears thinner because of the thin midcase and conical caseback.The new ones are just terrible. They are absolutely huge and sit tall on the wrist to make things worse. The glossy dial and ceramic bezel make it feel more like a piece of jewelry, whereas the old version felt like a performance dive watch.On one hand, it's sad to see what's happened to the model, but on the other hand, I got mine, so I really don't care that much about the new ones either.
What's the consensus on the Kith and TAG Heuer Formula 1 collaboration?It seems like a bit of a flop. The Moonswatch had people screeching for months.Maybe it's because it's far more limited than the Moonswatch or because it's far more expensive. Maybe people just don't have that much nostalgia for the old Formula 1 from the 80s.
>>18109983case is steel right? too bad it looks like a plastic toy like the moonswatch but is like 6x the price
>>18109353thoughts on picrel
>>181099831500 bucks for a Ronda quartz is terrible, that's the consensus.
>>18109989Is that the one with the fusée-and-chain?
>>18109983>>18109985Exactly this.The Moonswatch is/was selling like crazy because they are priced in that sweet spot that many working people can afford at the end of the month after all the bills are paid, without thinking too hard about it. You bring that over 1000 dollars and besides the 4 digit price tag psychologically influencing people, it starts to become a bit too expensive to impulse buy.
>>18109989It's very German.
So how accurate should a watch be for it to be acceptable?
Accuracy only matters for poor people.
So I should get a nice bracelet instead of a watch?
I miss him bros..
>>18109998Within 3-4 seconds per day is fine; it's always better to be slightly fast than slightly slow.If it's been well adjusted, you can always speed it up or slow it down by leaving it on its side or on its back overnight. >Slightly slow: leave it on its back. Slightly fast: leave it on its side.
>>18110019I read that the Daniel Wellington Sheffield Classic is rated at 15 seconds per month, so half a second per day. I think I will purchase that watch.
>>18109998as long as it's between +1 sec/day and +3 hour/day, it's fine. Accuracy isn't that important.
>>18110034What if it loses a second per day?
>>18110037it's fine too, again as long as it's less than -3 hours/day
>>18110039Why does it matter if it's over -3 hours per day? Are you a poor?You can always use your phone for time you know.
>>18110003no
>>18110030Cool. Take some wrist shots when it arrives.
>>18110041If it varies more than 3 hours, I may miss my dilation window.
>>18110044Time dilation? What are you an astronaut?
my wrist is 16.5cm can someone recommend me good classic looking watch
>>18110047you didnt give a price. Nomos have some more classic looking options. I like >>18109605 quite a bit, they have some other stylings as well that are nice.
>>18110047I think a Daniel Wellington in 34/36mm would suit you well. They deliver certified chronometer accuracy too.
Anyone own a Cartier tank quartz or solar beat? I think it might just be what I am looking for. They don’t have a second hand and tanks have a closed case back anyways so you don’t miss out on being able to look at the movement so no point in it now being quartz
>>18110059the solar tank were recalled a while back because they just didn't work lmao
>>18110052200$ max>Nomos they are quite expensive
>>18110061Do you have a source for this?
>>18110061I thought it was because they were too expensive to produce.
>>18110062Orient bambino isnt bad, most people here say to get quartz at that price point though so DW would be a good option.
>>18110067Orient Bambino is a mechanical watch so you'd get the craftmanship, heritage and soul that goes to a mechanical watch. It doesn't keep as good time as a DW but that doesn't matter, unless you need it for actual timekeeping, in which case you should save up and use your phone and buy a real watch once you've accumulated enough wealth to live off your life without working ever again.
>>18110069Yeah i have an orient kanno and i like it. It runs pretty fast but it's not that big of a deal.
Thoughts on this? Looks like a sweet beater to get.
>>18110078Something about seiko's case shape i dont really like usually. The blue one looks decent though.
Redpill me on Vostok Amphibia and Vostok Komandirskie, i kinda dig this soviet look Are they good?
>>18110082It's a bit chunkier than its predecessor.
>>18110095I was considering a GS but the cases on those are also weirdly chunky to me. That in addition to the bracelet clasp were a deal breaker for me unless i were to see a used one at a good price.
>4:30 date window
>>18110065Well it's pretty much under wraps and shoahed by Cartier but see thishttps://youtu.be/2kEccBcUimE >>18110078Looks like shit compared to the sarb033 and sarb035, they need to bring those back. Such a good design
>>18110110
>>18110102Not the worst. Pic relHonestly, bros, I have a couple thousand burning a hole in my pocket, and I’m torn between this or the new Junghans Max Bill Regulator.
>>18110112That bird on the dial makes it look like a balkan watch
>>18110061Looks like you can still buy them on the website. What about normal quartz? I like how it’s a Louie Cartier in steel and $7000 less
Today, for me, it is this vintage automatic Timex. I'm gonna daily this thing for a while and see how it does on accuracy. IIRC it wasn't noticeably off over a month but we'll see.Neat because it doesn't have any jewels in the movement, I think it's just metal on metal or at absolute best just metal on oil impregnated brass bushings but I don't think it's even that fancy. You can hear it ticking without even holding it up to your ear but like I said IIRC it keeps good time.I actually have two of these little guys, identical, on different straps. I got them for free in a bag of watches I was given. Mostly crappy old quartz and women's watches but I was pleased to see an actual brand I've heard of.>>18110090I have an Amphibia. It keeps decent time but I think they're prone to magnetism because I had mine go way inaccurate for a while but I demagnetized it and it seemed to clear up.I would personally skip the Komandirskie because it's not THAT much cheaper and it isn't automatic. Just doesn't appeal to me as much as the Amphibia. I think it's OK to have one or two in your collection because they are neat. Tons of dials and cases to choose from.Great baby's first mechanical.
>>18109771Not my taste but you definitely have a specific taste, most of your watches have the same proportions with a smaller circle inside the dial.I only like the Ginza dial Seiko and the Junghans (tho i would have chosen a smaller size for thay wrist size). Junghans are all dial, it wears bigger than the adverized size.
I concluded watches are a rabbithole of cope. There is nothing good to be found
don't know too much about watches but I do know citizen wearers are all a bunch of gay faggots

>>18110212- Find any stable job- Have a modest lifestyle- Don't get in debt- Never buy real estate- Invest your savings in traditional high dividend stocks- At one point you own money enough for several calatravi
>>18109719Very cool, love the look of the Spaceviews and looked at this one a few years back but ended up falling for this one instead.
>>18110213Good point, I don't know. Maybe I won't anymore.
>>18110219>- Find any stable jobLike what?
>>18110213Why not retard? What else is the point?
>>18110216I am unironically on the sigma male grindset trying different things until I hit a jackpot. But I'm getting inpatient
>>18110223In IT I guess. Learn cobol, there are still plenty of antique computers running this shit around the world and the youngest cobol engineers are in their late fifties and soon retiring.
>>18110229Ok I know Cobol, now what?
>>18110229I'm almost in my fifties too, don't see how this will help but ok, I'll bite. How exactly do I get this job? I know everything there is to know about computers from the 80s to 90s, but as far as I know everything that has to do with any "antiquated" technology is the type of a job where you happen to know a guy who gets you free money for a job that you can learn to perform in like a week.
>>18110230Nothing, he's bullshitting like always. Just learn how to punch cards and you'll get that $60k/year in Alaska just fine even if you're from Algeria, they're really down bad for the card punching guy and the helicopter girl will fall in love with you.
>>18110230Send resumes to banks, insurance companies, administrations, all these businesses that run IT systems for ages and seem to never have any money to upgrade them. Pay is decent, correct hours, benefits, stable income. You may eventually want to have a carreer and become manager, which to me looks like unnecessary burden but it's up to you.
>>18110237What do I write? Good Sirs I'm Pajeet Brahmaputra and I know Cobol? And this will get me hired? Or are you leaving something out?
>>18110232go into indeed.com and type cobol
why are the royal oak offshores so fucking thick compared to the regular chronographs? what's different about them?that said the regular chronos also have the date at 4:30 which is just unforgivable
>>18110240Royal oaks are nigger watches, and they have a shit and unreliable movement. Which is honestly unforgivable for a watch that costs that much.Be a white man and get a VC, Lange, or even a Patek if you can find one that isn't butt ugly.
>>18110183If you take the "showing your financial status by having an expensive watch" angle, yes it's a cope game that you can't win.But there are many other angles.Mine is about having a small collection of modest and proper watches (that i'm mostly the only one to know that i'm wearing them).
>>18110219>never buy real estateWhy not
>>18110238have you never had a job before? how spoon-fed do you want to be
>>18110257Leave the hard work (landlording) to the people with big brains and real money
>>18110259No, I haven't. Thanks for the "help" just continue dabbing on le poors since you obviously have no idea how to get it either and all you've ever had is what you inherited from daddy.
>>18110257Buying real estate because you need a place to live is one thing. Buying real estate for investment purposes is a different game and not something that non-high net worth individuals should engage in. Way too easy to get burned and you need to be able to soak losses.
>>18110290>Way too easy to get burnedIt's literally like buying a Rolex moron it's only ever going to go up.
Are Explorers plebian now?
>>18110280>never had a jobseems like you need an attitude adjustment
>>18110301>Are Explorers plebian now?Always were.
>>18110307You too, now how do I get that job again?
>>18110299>It's literally like buying a Rolex moron it's only ever going to go up....he says as Rolexes are now available at below MSRP...
>>18110314True.But they seem even more pleb now.
>>18110280>>18110315i refuse to believe people as retarded as you exist

>>18110321Normally people who have shitloads of money can give other people jobs, why can't you?
>>18109941Yes, they are called G-shocks
>>18110115i own this watch, in the rubber strap. it’s my only diver. be aware that it is a very heavy watch, but highly legible and accurate to +3spd during daily ware.prior to deciding on it i was strongly contemplating the Sinn U1.
I'd buy a rolex Explorer it it had a fucking date function but apparently ExPloRers don't need to know the fucking date.>>hey what's the date?Uh I dunno>> look at your watch?Uh yeah...about that..
peak hot whoreology
>>18110399An explorer date would be fucking awesome actually. Like how the submariner offers date and no date models.
>>18110449The thing with putting a date on the explorer is they'd either have to drop the 3 from the iconic 369 numerals or put the date at 4 o'clock or some other position to jot drop a numeral. I'm not against it either way but decisions have to be made.
I swear breguet is popular just because you have to say Gay

>>18110183the end game is just to 'use your phone', similar to /p/'s case on dedicated cameras.
>>18110508Balls are a bit thick and chunky because the tubes need space. I suggest trying it in person before you pull the trigger.
>>18110410I get they're super cool and trendy and expensive and I can't afford one and all that but am I the only one who thinks Richard Mille watches look cheap as fuck? Look like something out of a happy meal.
So I finally got the courage and opened up my HMC 200 automatic calibre movement to regulate it, and after struggling for a good hour, got it down to 0.5+ SPD. I was very excited and went to show these results to my wife. She immediately started crying and told me that she had no idea we were in such financial troubles and asked me when I was planning to tell her. Naturally, was very confused at first but before I could process it, she already packed her stuff and moved back to her parents. Shortly after, her father called me->"LMAO Poorfag"and he hang up instantly. I looked around online and couldn't find out what any of these meant. I ended up here as my last resort. Can anybody tell me what I did wrong? brb, the bank send another letter, right on time like they do every day. thanks in advance.
>>18110516Saw this from the front page, just chiming in to say you're a fucking loser. What an awful post.
>>18110560Based
>>18110510Dedicared cameras deliver superior results. Watches do not
>>18110238>Good Sirs I'm Pajeet BrahmaputraLol
>>18110354I choose to not hire or in any way give money to shitskins, so sorry for that, but you're shit out of luck in that regardbetter luck in your next life, maybe your parents will teach you how to function in society with your lower double digit IQ
Give me 3 good reasons not to.
>>18110598Forgot pic.
>>18110599>>18110598I can't, it's literally perfect.It may not be as accurate as an atomic clock, but accuracy doesn't matter. Go for it, it is perfect.A beautiful watch.
Bought this for roughly 5 bucks. I don't know shit about watches. Was it a good deal?
>>18110598>>18110599didn't even search the ref but>thickness>bigness>shitness of the braceless>pr in your face for an automatic
>>18110600yeah i'm not poor enough to care about accuracy.
>>18110614You could get a used vintage Rolex for that money, it's even less accurate.
>>18110601no, it was a good deal for someone to get 5$ for itbut, strangely, you managed to get a somewhat interesting/decent looking one, so if it runs, use it
>>18110615>>18110614you poorfags ain't got shit on NH35
>>18110599Reason 1. The black dial is betterReason 2. You wish you were worthy of such a nice watch, but you aren'tReason 3. You'll set off every shitcunt in this thread
>To he anon who suggested a bonklip bracelet:Cheers!
>>18110575Actually, some watches do probably have better accuracy than a phone.
>>18110683If the watch isn't presented to you by a man in a suit with cavity search gloves and seeing it doesn't make you cry, it's a shitter.https://youtu.be/_1s5zSOqDeQ?feature=shared&t=503
>>18110683Examples cunt
>>18110683How do you figure? Atomic watches? Technicality argument that a watch might be more accurate than a phone's internal hardware clock?Phones otherwise use NTP to get time from a master source, they don't need to be hardware accurate to read nearly perfect time, all the time, every time.
So, im only 5k deep into watches but id like to know what the consensus is of smart watches here. Ive never liked them cause they arent convenient, i dont like charging shit, especially a watch. Anyways the idea came to me cause i want to keep track of my sleep. My insomnia is getting worse and i would like to keep track of how much sleep i actually am getting.
>>18110691anything less than 20 seconds a month is probably going the be much more accurate than your shitphone crumpled together from bottom of the barrel components that have been sitting in a box for the last 7 years of 0 innovation in phonesother than folding phones, I suppose?turn off network connectivity and leave a phone down for a month
>>18110694will knowing this bullshit statistic cure your insomnia, or rather will increase your blood pressure from seeing a sad number?fitness trackers/bands can track sleep and cost like 20$, still fucking uselessone function I've seen that I would say is a good one, is that they can wake you up at your alarm by just lightly vibrating instead of blasting some default alarm sound from phone
>>18110696>or rather will increase your blood pressure from seeing a sad number?you're right
I like the look of vintage watches like this Seamaster, but even if they were affordable the need for periodic servicing would make them too expensive for me. The Timex Marlin 34mm or the Orient Bambino 36mm would do for now, but I would rather buy a quartz watch. Are there any similar looking quartz watches that you know of?
>>18110700forgot pic
>>18110690The watch that made him cry.
>>18110702Nice fingerprints. Also that's a very weak red seconds hand.
>>18110601Q&Q seems to be the basic budget brand under the Citizen brand.
>>18110695Right so you're arguing a technicality not a practicality.
>>18110712no fucking shit retard>constantly phoning home to get a correct atomic time that wasn't even know of more than 50 years ago is more accurate than springs and gearsyou feel smart that you figured this shit out?phone displays time, it doesn't fucking keep it
>>18110716>phone displays time, it doesn't fucking keep itbulds absolutely retarded fr
>>18110716You're the tard, you're trying to argue something that doesn't fucking matter. Phones are always going to be more accurate than any watch. Nobody sits with their phone off in a cabinet for months. It doesn't matter that the RTC is technically shittier. If a phone isn't connected to a network it's not really being used as a phone. I have never heard anyone say "damn my phones clock is so inaccurate" who cares if a watch is better than some shitty phone hardware clock, it doesn't need to be that good because there's a better way to stay accurate.
>>18110721>youre trying to argue something that doesn't matter>in 4chan>on faggot board>in watch threadand my gshock still dunks absolute balls over any phone ever madeeat shit, roodypoo
>>18110598>>18110599Hello there!
>>18110761Based Chad.So what are your thoughts, is the spring drive mechanical or quartz?
>>18110614I am become accuracy
>>18110761Are you in that discord server as well?
>>18110761I love the finishing and the dials on a lot of grand seiko models but there's always something about the case shape that throws me off a little, what is it? Anyone knows what I'm talking about?
>>18110765I care not. I love my shitters equally regardless of what heart beats in their proverbial chest. >>18110770Hell no. Funnily enough, discord's been sending me emails about the termination of my account due to inactivity for a while now. I'm content to let it die.
>>18110772It is pretty robust.
>>18110772Some just don't click with them. They aren't all the same, mind you.
>>18110767Are you timing this thing? I know it's too soon to ask how's it running.
>>18110794>Poorfag accuracy timer only has breadLMAO
>>18110800
>>18110719Need it or keep it?
Does a good blue sunburst dial titanium 36mm watch exist. Christopher ward the 12 looks okay but I don’t like the brand logo or hand set
>>18110794So far it's still spot on.
>>18109464Me too.
>>18110227there is no such thing as a sigma grindset or an impatient sigma.
>"MUH DOMED SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL!"
>>18110855
>>18110826I love the idea behind this company but the printing on the dial is so boring. I wish they did nice applied markers.
>>18110826too bad the text reminding you of the material ruins it

>>18110560coffee time? Not even been a week and the hesalite has some hairline scratches>>18110855ive seen a few of these domed sapphire crystals, why doesnt the speedy sapphire have one of these thats just like the hesalite?
>>18110783You made a fist so you look robust as well
>>18110783Just kidding you look like a wimp with an oversized japanese cope watch
>>18110900>scratchesSo glad I dont have an expensive watch, would drive me nutsReceived a washing machine today and there was no protective skin on the display. Full of scratches. I am returning this shit no matter the effort. I wont accept it. Should have been a lot more thorough when accepting the delivery. Those delivery untermenschen always fuck shit up
>>18110910Most watches use sapphire which is pretty hard to scratch, the case is the only thing that would get scuffed up. These arent noticable unless you look for them. I wanted the sapphire version for the durability but it just looked so much worse ill just get over the scratches and use poly watch occasionally.
>>18110913Saphire looks worse because its like a bulb?
The swirls and chips in my cars paintwork also drove me insane. Feel relieved having sold it. They should dedicate more scientific research to preventing scratches
>>18110916It doesnt have the same roundness of the hesalite, instead its more of a hard step up and then a slightly curved face. When you look at it straight on its got a milky white ring around the edge which i just didnt like. I was resigned to dealing with some scratches, i was just hoping to get through the first week without them but oh well.>>18110919ceramic coating helps with preventing scratches fairly well. You can also get your car wrapped and then coated and if/when scratches do happen in places all you need to do is replace that section of wrap.
Had a technical interview today with the same guy following last weeks disaster the hiring mgr wanted to be sure. I totally rekt him today. Asked him some basics and he didnt know shit. Man I feel angry how people are just frauding alll the time
It just goes to show how you can nearly bullshit your way into anything. I was really irritated. I hate these type of all talk people who cant deliver shit
>>18110924>>18110926what kind of role was this for? I've had interviews where i used to know the information they wanted i just havent been doing that specific stuff in long enough it's no longer something i particularly remember but would pick it back up quickly.
After few minutes I said ok I think we are done here, I have gathered all information I needed. Bye.Then I told that stupid noobie recruiter that people who claim to know everything usually dont know jack shit. Somebody who really knows his shit is usually humble and aware of the reality of not knowing everything, not even close,offensive that people would believe it to be possible even
>>18110928Cant go into detail but first line IT support>I've had interviews where i used to know the information they wanted i just havent been doing that specific stuff in long enough it's no longer something i particularly remember but would pick it back up quickly.That would be normal and understandable
Srsly so angry. I feel offended that someone would think he could deceive me without any preparation

>>18110938That's called a percolator aka the coffee maker that was perfectly fine but that every appliance maker gaslit us into believing was obsolete while (((their))) new machines with (((single-use filters and doses))) were the future.
>>18110947Because angry and no life. Also why not? You are not better than me.
>>18110889No. It moves normally.
>>18110952Good point. They got me good those devils.
>>18110938Get a Chemex and an electric kettle. I use a manual metal burr grinder for my coffee then a reusable metal filter basket. It makes good coffee. Anything else tastes like shit to me now.

Any watch nerd can ID this one?
>>18110802Is that Spotemgottem?That nigga has been on my mind. No cap, I been thinking about that time when I barebacked him raw in a Boca Raton Air BnB. That shit had to be the tightest, blackest, wettest boy pussy I've ever laid pipe into. I swear to God, the most heavenly high is gargling that wonderboy's nuts while going fist deep into his shitter. I had Spotemgottem screaming in the sheets with head too ridiculous to ignore. That nigga frotted my cock until he busted on my mouth, I had to return the favor. That nigga Spotemgottem and I been fucking non-stop ever since, but keep that shit on the DL. He does that shit for free. If you're gonna ask me how to "long" Spotemgottem, I'll be deadass. All you gotta do is ask, be straight up, and get physical real quick. Touch his nuts, get on ya knees, talk your shit. He doesn't play around with no pansy-ass niggas either. He likes his men manly, and his dick thick. Dark skin, 6'5 is the minimum and I ain't talking about height boy.That nigga Spotemgottem stole my heart and drank my seed
