What analog watches does /g/ recommend?
>>107469538full bladder
>>107469538No reason to be pretentious about a practical device like this unless you have a job where you wear a suitA Timex from the expedition line is solid. I don't even have one of the expensive ones and I get hella compliments.
>>107469538I've got a Casio diver's watch (200 meters) that I'm happy with and can recommend. The hands and the hour marks are luminous so you can read it in the dark.
Whichever one you like. Picked this up the other day after waiting a couple of years to find one at a good price in decent condition.
>>107469729This is a really good looking watch. I wear my watch on the left and those right side crowns always dig into the back of the hand.
Citizen Eco Drives are fine, but I rarely wear analog watches(Casio A168 is my daily driver)
usecase for analog hands?
>>107469888You're probably wearing your watch too far up your wrist, it's meant to be behind the bony part sticking out of your wrist.
>>107469888Well, my Casio watch has a little guard around the crown. Maybe that's a little better than nothing.
>>107469926That doesn't feel good, but I will give it a try. You can see the Pulsar is beat up because I wear it on the right, which I bang and crash into everything with.
>>107469930It turns out I may be wearing it incorrectly, but I prefer comfort to fashion rules. Your Casio is still gorgeous.
>>107469888do you also complain about the ground hurting your feet while walking
>>107469969No, because I don't walk on the top of my feet. Does your breath smell like cum?
>>107469954You're just not used to it. >>107469930Crown guards are useful to prevent something hitting the side of the crown and snapping it off, or to make it harder to accidentally pull the crown out (but a screw down crown is better), they don't make any impact on it hitting your wrist.
>>107469538Why the fuck would I need a watch for this? The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. And it’s not always exact due to seasonal variations and your latitude. It may as well be a pointless endeavour in the Arctic. Retarded infographic likely made by Americans.
>love me watch>keeps time to +1.5s/day>after five years starts having issues with timing, accuracy varying wildly day to day>bring it in to a well reviewed shop about 30 min from me>wait two weeks, pay 150 shekels>the absolute clowns took it upon themselves to polish my watch, which would be fine for the bezel except they also haphazardly polished the brushed finishing on the lugs>polish job isn't even good or complete>accuracy is now down to +5s/day>rotor rattles when I movewhat the fuck man I love this watch, I don't even want to bring it back to that shop and demand they fix the issues cause i don't trust them to do competent work. considering just mailing it to hamilton and taking the hit on whatever their cost is to re-service and re-finish. genuinely devestated by this.
>>107470401This is why you do your own servicing work.
>>107469969Do you cum when your dad fists you?
>>107470401>pay 150 shekelsThat's very cheap, that's under 40 Euros. Some ritzy shops charge as much for changing a battery on a quartz watch.
Everything else is just wasting money.
>>107469636>timexi think they charge a bit too much nowdays, nevertheless based.>>107469823>sports quartzamazing, does seiko still make them? how much?
>>107470867>does seiko still make them?Not for 40+ years. And it was 200 bucks.
>>107470684of course not, cumming would imply I like it
>>107470817I find those hard to read in the dark, even if you press the illumination button.
>>107470880> 200 bucks.fuck seiko. do you know any modern model of any brand similar to it?
>>107470952>fuck seikoWell, it was twice that price new.>do you know any modern model of any brand similar to it?No, not really. Seiko made a fair few quartz sports divers, but this was the only "root beer" one. Rolex have a few much uglier GMT ones, I don't see a lot of brown dial brown bezel divers.
>>107469538Whatever you like visually. It's an accessory. My favorites are 2 of my Vostoks. One was my grandpa's and the other one is a gift from my mom.
>>107470401>I don't even want to bring it back to that shop and demand they fix the issuesBurn it down to the ground.
>>107470401You can probably find some reputable watch shop out there that accepts mail orders for services, but I'd wager that shop might have broken some stem somewhere, even on the escapement and you'll be in for a big time money expense, although if the escapement stem or one of the jewels is broken you can replace it, but the time investment if you're in the US costs a lot of money, so a lot of shops would just replace the entire thing.
use case of a fuciing watch when you already have a phone and likely a computer with you 24/7?
>>107471557So I can look at it on my wrist and tell your mother it is time to fuck.
>>107469538Timex Expedition with no date.
>>107471557My phone is often turned off when I'm /out/.
>>107471557I use my watch to time my chicken tendies, because I can't hear the oven beep from the basement.
>>107469538Casio DW-1000
>>107469923>*exists*
Casio and Citizen. Specific models? Your choice.
>>107469538>sun falls out of orbit>manual becomes useless
>>107472407If that were to happen, finding the "north" would be the last of your problems
>>107469538Not long ago soviet mechanical watches were sold by weight on ebay
>>107469549fpbp
>>107471557i hate having my phone with me all the time.
The watch is the mark of serfdom. The slave's manacle. A free man does not live his life according to another's schedule.
>>107469538there's three good reasons to own a watch1. a hobby. you enjoy complex mechanical mechanisms, sometimes including even old seiko quartz hybrid mechanisms. this includes fashion reasons.2. smartwatches are unironically useful if you can get past the idea of uploading all of your biometrics into the cloud3. for timekeeping. unless you own a smartwatch, this is the most retarded reason to own a watch because a smartwatch is unironically better in every way. They'll keep time better than any piece of shit you own unless your watch can synchronize itself using GPS satellites, like a Seiko Astron
im not using smartslop, give me a cheap quartz or fuck off.>>107475820i mean, even if you live 100% by your own schedule, youll also need a watch too, larper froggo. as long as youre inserted on the human zoo.
>>107475915Absolutely. You HAVE to know the exact time down to the second at all times. Strapping a watch to your wrist so you can constantly monitor your time expenditure is normal and reasonable. It's simply untenable to live any other way.
>>107475820Time is useful for more than just knowing when to be at work
>>107471557Pocket watches were a thing before wrist watches. Wrist watches took off because of the convenience of a quick glance rather than pulling some bullshit out of your pocket. Now you're back to pocket watches. Enjoy your regression.
>>107469538get a casio.afraid you will get mugged on the streets? get a gshock with ass colors.
>>107477527nah, young hood nigga fashion is now about loud colors and being a closeted bi. soundcloud rappers love being raver-adjacent and would absolutely mug your ass for a fleuroscent pink g-shok
obsession with watches is dumb as hell. no one wears a watch anymore. even if you get one for /fa/ reasons it still looks weird because you're expected to have a fancy phone, not a watch
>obsession with watches is dumb as hell. no one wears a watch anymore. even if you get one for /fa/ reasons it still looks weird because you're expected to have a fancy phone, not a watch
>>107469538>the midway point between the 12 o'clock position and the hour hand is southok but what do you do when it's 6AM or 6PM lmaomight as well just remember that the sun rises in the east and sets in the westway more precise
>>107477637>you're expected to have a fancy phone, not a watchAre these great expectators in the room with you right now?
>>107477917Those are unironically the time when you can see the sun rise and set. This is for when you want to know the north and have no time waiting until sunset or sunrise.
>>107469538A twenty dollar one from Walmart that doesn't look gaudy. It just werks
>>107478037i don't think there's ever really a time when you're out in the wilderness and so buried underneath a rock that you couldn't figure out whether the sun is rising or setting
>>107469538What quartz watches have the easiest battery swap mechanism that doesn't look like ass?
>>107478092All battery swap mechanisms are easy as hell to use. The "worst" is case backs you have to get a knife into to pull off, the "easiest" are the cheap plastic Casios held on with 4 screws. In the middle are mini windows for the battery you use a coin to open, and screw-down casebacks. I don't really see the issue in any of them given you're only going to be interacting with them once every 2-10 years, or 20+ if you buy solar.
something swiss made
>>107469538Raketa
>>107477496you don't need a quick glance
>>107480709I really want to buy those, but for me it's a tad expensive for one non-edc pair.
>>107469538/csg/ watches with Seiko movements are alright.Something like Addiesdive AD2048 - sort of a Khaki clone. Amazing value.
Never failed me.
>>107480746No what I don't need is to fish something out of my pocket every time I want to check the time.
