8 second lume shot of the citizen. To be honest, of all my watches, the citizen bm8180 is my favourite, and I say that even though I have a seiko sarb035. The vostok amphibia is cool but too inaccurate. The seiko sarb csn feel a bit heavy at times, even after I swapped out the bracelet for a strap. The seiko windy knob diver is too heavy and bulky. The citizen is just the right size and its light and comfy. That said i have had my eye on the 38mm seiko solar titatnium diver, it might be light and small enough to be comfy.

That said, the citizen is currently on a brown leather strap, should i change it to another colour? Or would changing it to a nato strap be even comfier? Would a green/khaki or black nato strap be good for everyday wear?

I had mine on a Hadley Roma oyster for a long time when it was my daily. the curve didnt sit right though.

currently have it on a green NATO and think it looks good but I dunno I'm finding the watch to be a bit small for my liking even though I have a 6.25 wrist. great little watch though. and probably the one I wore for the longest as a daily.

where did you get your leather strap for yours and what does it look like? think it would add some beefiness to it?

or do you know if there is a metal bracelet with a curvature that fits the casing better?

"My wife has been terminal now for about a year and we’ve spent countless days in and out of the hospital. Today was no different until her health took a severe turn for the worse. Luckily I had my trusty Omega Speedmaster, which made the sting of watching a loved one wither away and die in front of me while pumped full of medicine slightly less awful.

I found the chronograph feature particularly helpful while timing our final seconds together, and the triple date complication made filling out her death certificate a breeze. The pain of losing her is immeasurable, but at least I know that when I pass down my speedy to our son he will inherit more than a timepiece, but also all the moments it collected."

Start here. I don't agree with everything in it, but it's a reasonable survey of the options in the entry price range. There's not a lot of really good value in the stuff over 400 or 500 USD until you get to 3k, unless you're buying vintage.

My own recommendation in that price range is definitely the hamilton khaki manual wind the 2801 movement (not the newer automatic series with the powermatic 80-derived caliber).

I like how the USB cord really brings out the red accents on the watch, while the paracord emergency survival bracelet accentuates the black and chrome. The rubberband helps it all play into the tone of your skin, which is a nice touch. Its like the watch is 'exploding' off your wrist. Nice job.

Mechanical movements tickle my autism brain, as do many other fine mechanical things. When I see somebody wearing a fine watch there's the chance that they are just being ostentatious, but there's also the chance that they share the interest in the same way I do so I try not to be too judgemental. I love the engineering. Its the same as car guys or gun guys feel I assume. Some of my favorite watches are the ones produced by independent watchmakers that I could never afford in 2 lifetimes. They fascinate me.

No. Phones don't keep time all that great, that's why they use external sources for their timekeeping.

>> No.13782074

Hello
I want to conveniently tell the time from my wrist.
The watch should be relatively accurate and have as much features as it can without looking like a piece of shit. Features I'm seeking are time, day, date, chronograph, maybe an alarm too and something that makes me see all that in the dark.
What is my watch?
Budget is a normie low end white collar budget.

A digital ticks all of those boxes if you can handle the aesthetic. If not look at Japanese quartz chronos.. citizen/seiko typically.

Oh, timex maybe? They make analog watches with backlight function. Indiglo they call it I think. Weekender and Expedition are some chrono models. Very inexpensive too, which can be negative or positive depending on your goal.. Doubt they have alarms though.
