OH GOD I'M GONNA

I'M GONNAAAA VIBRATE AT A PERSISTENT AND STABLE FREQUENCY AHHHHHHHHH

>>17656527
Tastelet. I bet you like minimalist watches like a virgin.

>>17656534
Is there a non-PVD one?

>>17656546
MT-Gs and MR-Gs are the uncanny valley watches of G-Shock for me. Doesn't have the safe and simple appeal of squares and GA-2100s, but also doesn't have the unga-bunga tacticool autistic appeal of Master of Gs.

>>17656557
What about the square MRG?

>>17656557
Also what about the MRG "Master of G" Frogman?

>>17656559
Best digital watch on the market

>>17656557
I love the over engineered chronograph aesthetic of them. They're really unlike anything else I can think of.

>>17656559
>>17656564
These are more of a combination of the MR-G levels of finishing with iconic models from other gshock lines, not a pure MR-G watch. Nta bte

>>17656565
Ahem

>>17656528
Is this a sports watch?

My quartz loses about 15s a month but has a screw that you can turn to regulate it. It has a snap on case back but i'm quite clumsy so i'm not sure i should be opening it. Should i bother or just leave it be?

>>17656584
What's the watch

>>17656559
I hate how over-complicated the construction on that thing, and yet they didn't give us an articulating first link on the bracelet.

>>17656564
Looks nicer than the regular analog Frog, but the dial looks like they were traced from the newer Seiko Monster.

>>17656584
It's pretty difficult to regulate quartz. I wouldn't bother, it's within spec.

>>17656584
You need some quartz watch timing device to have much chance of making it more accurate by playing with the screw.

My first vintage purchase :)
Sorry my phone is gonna flip the image

>>17655825
I own the SARW013 and it's a very nice watch, no complaints from me. I live near a Seiko Service center and had it regulated for free and now it's running at +5 seconds a week.

>>17656590
>I hate how over-complicated the construction on that thing
Why? That's just sounds so stupid. It makes no difference to the end user apart from knowing that intricate work and design went into making the watch.
>yet they didn't give us an articulating first link on the bracelet.
That's a feature, not an oversight. It's also a none issue if you don't have tiny bitch wrists.

People were asking about historical Rolex MSRP in the last thread, so I actually looked it up.
When introduced in 1957, the GMT 1675 cost $240, or $2000 today. In 1978 it was up $795 or $2900 adjusted, in 1986 price went to $1400 - $3100 today.
It’s remarkably hard to find this data, especially since they quit putting the price in ads as they tried to position more as a luxury brand rather than a high end tool for professionals.

Point is, their stuff shouldn’t be much more than 3-5k for steel models, and even the high end of that might be a bit of a reach.
Even with the maximally autistic Swiss quality control, they’re stacking profits up like crazy at these prices, and your “trusted AD” who fucks your wife, makes you buy 10k of gold, and then sells you a submariner for 50% over MSRP is really stacking profits.
When the market slows up and gets realistic, a lot of dudes are gonna be hurting. I’m going to buy a Chinese shitter or a microbrand lol
Honestly, I don’t like the new bezel font on the gmt-II anyway, the vintage round numbers are sexier.

>>17656602
I have only 6.75i inch wrists and have no issue with the end links on my square. How small are someone's wrists for that to even be a complaint.

Quartz watch with:
Common replacement battery model
10+ years of battery life
Shock resistant
10bar water resistance,preferably more
An alarm
Preferably have a digital display,a non rubber nor plastic wristband and other functionalities other than an alarm

>>17656573
I was asking his opinion because he likes one line but not the other and was wondering what he thought of the models that combine both.

I was looking forward to a digital MRG Frogman but they went analog. The digital titanium model looks great but the module is useless to me since it lacks current time in all modes and it really should have had sapphire. I saved a bundle by not buying them but I feel G-Shock has been underwhelming the last couple of years and for their 40th anniversary. I don't know if it's the lackluster sales or something internal but I hope they are holding out on releasing some great models soon. The 35th anniversary hype and the titanium squares is only comparable to the GA-2100 hype but that was unpredictable. I don't even know if the economic climate exists for Casio to get to that level again. Seeing most models never selling out like they used to speaks volumes.

can someone post again the big infographic with all of the watch brands plezzz

I do not want bluetooth/wireless functionality nor for it to be a smartwatch
I live in Romania so my budget is limited at 200 euros but preferably it would be cheaper

>>17656559
The bracelet is laughably bad on the regular metal ones. Not sure if it's any better on the MRG but it kills the watch for me.

>>17656625
How is it bad?

>>17656589
A vintage Seiko, picrel is not my actual watch.

>>17656626
Gaudy faux rivets, microadjust clasp from 25 years ago, extremely autistic end links, and worst of all I don't find it comfortable.

>>17656594
Cool, i like the lume, it changes color if it's charged, right?

>>17656602
I just think it's too complicated and intricate for a basic G-Shock.

>>17656609
Felt very awkward on my 6.75" roundish wrist, based on my experience with GMW-B5000.

>>17655784
You'd think but I have no issues reading my 856 UTC at all. Granted that's more similar to the 556A than 556i. The minutes are especially legible.

>>17656640
Yeah it's a darker green in a dark room than in the pic, if that's what you mean

>>17656624
Import a casio 5000u-1jf from japan
Ifs that too hard get a casio 5610u
Make sure its the u version
The two watches have the same module but the 5000 has an innser stainless steel case and the 5610 is all resin/plastic.
Solar, radio time setting, multiple alarms, multiple time zones, stopwatch and countdown timer. High durability, no Bluetooth, no smart shit

>>17656647
>I just think it's too complicated and intricate for a basic G-Shock
But it's not a basic gshock you retard.

>>17656590
It's not over complicated. The construction is necessary so they can polish every angle and surface. If you don't want the polish they have the same model in one piece.
If the first link was articulated it would look bad because the bracelet is part of the design like the resin models. Without that the case would look angular and would be floating on the wrist.
>>17656609
I have 6 inch wrists and I'm ok with it. The first link not being articulated looks better to me because the watch has its own profile. Without it it would flop down and the case would be the only thing visible. It's the same as the resin models. I do admit that I think I'm at the minimum wrist size that I would consider acceptable. Anything smaller and it might look bad.

>>17656657
it's literally as basic as a fucking 5610 with BT

>>17656653
Why would you choose the 5610u with the worse led illumination over the EL backlight

I haven't followed watches in years: was this always this expensive? Just checked and these sell for like $100k wasn't that usually the price for watches with a lot of complications like tourbuillons and stuff?

>>17656665
The whole point is the construction you fucking retard. You have the dumbest fucking complaint I've ever heard about a watch.

Anyone got good alternatives to pic?

Original is non-existent and not really worth tracking down, similar colors/styling would be great, thanks!

>>17656672
well fuck, sorry for complaining about having them divide the bezel construction into a gazzillion parts just so they can polish them in a $4000 watch

>>17656677
Yeah you better be sorry for posting inane garbage. Faggot.

>>17656633
>Gaudy faux rivets
You mean the dimples? They're just there as an homage to the resin models. Funny thing is that everyone gave the designer a hard time for including them because it made it more complicated and harder to polish. If it makes you feel any better they bore right through the dimples in the TVA model and the MRG model has screws on the case and separate pieces on the bracelet. I find the titanium bracelet comfortable because it's light and passed on the steel model. The clasp is truly very outdated and huge. I wish they would make something smaller. Functionally it does the job at least.

>>17656660
>The construction is necessary so they can polish every angle and surface
Wouldn't that be cheating? Wouldn't it be much more impressive if they can polish irregular shapes while still having a simpler construction? I'm not really sold on metal Gs as they kinda defeat the point of G-Shocks.

>>17656676
You want something with thay kind of band too?

>>17656688
Why would that be cheating? I find it infinitely more impressive that they managed to make that case out of that many parts and kelt it the same size than if they just polished it everywhere.

>>17656667
>Why would you choose the 5610u with the worse led illumination over the EL backlight
Because the 5610 with the EL backlit doesn't show the current time when you are on the countdown timer mode

>>17656559
What makes the MRG square $4000 when you can get a seemingly identical one for $400? Just the material?

>>17656676
Mondaine did some tartan stuff.

>>17656653
>casio 5000u-1jf
Is there a difference between this and the casio 5000u1ER? and if there is what is it?

>casio 5000u-1jf
I see this has a solar battery. Is there a model without it which also fits the other criteria?
How much time until the capacitor inside the watch breaks and needs to be changed?
How common are the replacement capacitors for this model of watch?
What model of capacitor does thewatch have?

>>17656667
>>17656695
Also he is a eurofag and only the u versions support day month year display mode instead of month day year

>>17656665
Most watch companies use the same caliber on different tiers of watches.
>>17656677
>>17656688
It's an engineering challenge only Casio has been able to solve. It would be impossible to hand sallaz polish every angle. It's a steal at $4000 for high grade titanium band and bezel with that level of polish. Most impressive of all it's still shock resistant.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGpAO7lekQU

>>17656693
That's just me I guess, prefer less parts in terms of construction.

>>17656703
>It's a steal at $4000 for high grade titanium band and bezel with that level of polish
Thanks for the laugh anon, that was the funniest post I've read all week.

>>17656705
I'm always looking for alternatives if you know any but I'm glad I made you laugh.

>>17656701
It lasts 10 years on average
It uses the CTL1616 cell
Its commonly available for about $12
The 5600 models lack the radio time setting and solar charging but keep the other features. Its also cheaper
The 5000u1ER is the same as the 1jf, it's the Europe specific model number for the same watch, i didn't realize it was for sale officially in Europe

>>17656696
The module is the same. All you pay for is the high grade titanium and hand polish.

>>17656701
I have a 10 year old tough solar casio that is still running strong. On the other hand I have 2 citizen eco drives that died within 5 years.

>>17656695
>>17656702
Yeah I looked it up and take back what I said, the led light is actually as good as on illuminator models and it's better watch overall. Makes me dislike my 5610 even more.

>>17656705
Post something comparable

>>17656705
seems like you know nothing about materials and polishing

>>17656737

Jesus fucking Christ could we stop with the digital shitters and discuss real watches??

Looking for a watch that is:

>either indices or numerals, no preference
>metal bracelet
>date complication, indifferent on day complication
>100m+ water resistance
>$2k or under, but willing to drop a little more for something really nice

I like the general look tool watch-y aesthetic of the Sinn 556, but find the hands somewhat illegible and odd looking. Something up a similar alley would be nice. Already looked at Damasko, don't really like the dials.

One anon recommended the Oris Big Crown Pilot, which I'll have to take a look at in person sometime.

>>17656740

>>17656748
Oris BIG CROWN

>>17656747
No. Get fukt.

>>17656668
No, you can still find that hodinkee video comparing watches under 20k and that's one of them (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1sy7yfu900).).
tldr; that watch being recommended everywhere + being discontinued (I think that they still make them only for very vip customers or fulfilling older orders) + all of those watch investors/auction houses chilling fp journe as the next phillip Dufour made the price of that watch sky high.

>>17656624
Any Casio Edifice "Solar" or "10 year battery".

>>17656346
i hate it when i go to the beach and i have to leave my watch at home or in a car. i want to be able to swim with it. i swim very fast guys. i create pressure points in excess of 5 atmospheres when i wash my hands, in excess of 10 atmospheres when i take a shower and decide to rub one out. i dont even know what kind of pressure im creating while im out there in ocean splashing around, jumping, creating waves ... but i guess its over 30 atmospheres
is pic related enough for me or should i go with the sea dweller 1220?

Been looking for a vintage style GMT, and the next cheapest option is US micro brands that are $800-$1k+ and probably still made in china lmao
They also have a version with a date window, both with optional sterile dials. How much use do you realistically get out of the date? I’m not a huge fan of the look of it, although at least this one doesn’t have the stupid cyclops blister

>>17656528
This watch is even more gone now. John Mayer has been spotted wearing one recently so goodbye FPJ Elegante. Not that getting any FPJ was easy before.

>>17656712

Thanks

>The 5600 models lack the radio time setting and solar charging but keep the other features.
If it lacks solar charging
what battery does it use and how long does one last?
About radio time keeping,from what I know it uses the time transmited from the nearest specific radio tower. But what if hypothetically there was no radio tower to recieve that information from? Could you still change the time on your own or is it something that is automated by the watch?

>>17656781
The date is more useful than a GMT hand that only saves you the trouble of... add or detract some small natural numbers.

>>17656787
You can adjust the time no problem. Even so, maybe in Romania it can catcha the german signal

>>17656778

>>17656798
Unironically almost bought it a couple times on Amazon. Its so autistic its genius.

>>17656793
According to water resistance autists, casio's water resistance is what it actually says on the dial. They're over engineered.

>>17656787
>How do you know that?
The advertised lifetime is 5 years iirc but based on peoples experiences they tend to last 10 years or more, especially if they are kept charged and running and aren't left dead in a drawer for years.
>If it lacks solar charging
>what battery does it use and how long does one last?
CR2016, its a pretty common cell, the rated lifetime from casio is 2-3 years but typically they last 5 years or more depending on how often you use the alarms and backlight.
>But what if hypothetically there was no radio tower to recieve that information from? Could you still change the time on your own or is it something that is automated by the watch?
Yes you can set times manually, it will only try to receive a radio signal if its set to a time zone that has a radio broadcast available, but even in the specific radio timezones you can set it manually.

>>17656788
You can make exactly the same identical argument for date complication.
>gee, yesterday was the 6th, I wonder what the date is today.....
At least a GMT can help you keep the math straight when you're doing paperwork or something with 2 or 3 time zones in mind.

not to be that guy, but i don't see why if you have 20k to spend on a watch just get one good, solid sports watch to wear every day for the rest of your life. i would just get an older pepsi gmt master (before maxi case retardation) and just wear the fuck out of it. which is what i'm currently doing with my poorfag san martin

>>17656835
What do you mean variety? We're talking about buying one watch.

Casio Edifice or THE VOSTOK AMPHIBIA

>>17656847
I'm retarded an assumed it was talking about buying several watches with 20k.
I agree with you.

>>17656856
Those are very opposite ends of the watch spectrum. I would get an amphibia because they have more soul, I remember when picking my first watch it was between a duro and am amphibia. Always regretted buying the duro, when I finally did get the amphibia I completely ignored the duro.

>>17656668
this is regarded by many as one of the greatest watch designs of all time. i don't disagree with those claims.

there's a rich guy in this general who owns one.

>>17656806
>especially if they are kept charged and running and aren't left dead in a drawer for years.
How would letting them rest inside a drawer for years be that degrading to the capacitors?
Do they just degrade on their own regardless if they are inside a watch or not?
Also I still don't see much difference between the 5000u-1 and the 5610u watches. They have the same module so they should have the same functionalities,no? The only differences I notices is the different backplates and that one is assembled in japan and the other in thailand

>>17656901
>Also I still don't see much difference between the 5000u-1 and the 5610u watches. They have the same module so they should have the same functionalities,no?
Yes they function identically.
The watches are constructed with a rubber bezel and strap over an inner watch case. On the 5000 series the inner watch case is black ip coated stainless steel and it has a traditional watch style screwback. On the 5610 the inner case is made of a strong pastic and the back of of the watch is attaced with 4 screws. It's entirely an aesthetic / build difference and makes no difference whatsoever in the day to day performance of the two watches, their durability, or anything else.

holy shit
is this the most a watch appreciated in price in such a short time?

This whole industry is starting to feel scammier by the day
Watches that used to sell for four figures half a decade ago are now five figures
The microbrand watches I have in my bookmarks seem to increase by price 50€ at a time ever other month
Basically everyone is currently testing the waters to see how much suckers are really willing to pay and so far it's working
I would be hard pressed to name one brand that makes good value watches, everything is either huge margin or astronomical margin products

you're the retard for not remembering what date it is

>>17656965
Explain why remembering to add 1 to figure out the time in another time zone is easy but remembering to add 1 to figure out what date it is is a bridge too far.

Time in current timezone is written on the watch, yesterday's date isn't
Neither +1 nor +5 is hard so it's irrelevant
The odds of this thread being filled with so many brainlets are too low so I must be getting trolled at this point, I'll stop replying

>>17656979
Because adding a number to another is easier than REMEMBER a number.

Thats why you (hopefully) can add 7+6, and cant remember your neighbours license plate you see every fucking day.

You people are DUMB or something?

And a GMT (no world time) watch doesnt even tell you anything besides what time is it in a place you should know the time of anyway.

>>17656980
Yeah, might be "add 5". Even "substract 6"!

Lucky that im kind of a scientist myself, wise in the counting ways.

>>17656986
>>17656997
Tracking a time zone in your head is remembering the conversion. If your watch isn't a GMT thenother time zone isn't on your watch either.

Also on topic marloe released a GMT that's miyota based recently
https://www.marloewatchcompany.com/products/gmt-day
Probably overpriced chinkshit but it's not bad looking

>>17656997
Why is a world timer any different from a gmt in that context?

>>17657005
Remembering the conversion... you know that the conversion numbers doesnt change (yesterdays date does...). And you know you can help yourself to remember then thinking about how far west or east the place is?

Anyway, as said, GMT watches dont tell you conversions, only what time is in a location you did input in the fucking thing.

World time, is another story.

>>17657011
Yesterday's date doesn't change though?

id on the watch?

Holy shit, watch fags are such fucking retards it's unreal.

>>17657008
In a world timer you navigate locations and the watch tell you which time is there.

A GMT only has an extra hour hand you have to/can set independently.

>>17657013
It changes everyday...

I quit, this is unreal.

>>17657016
But you have to know which time zone the city of interest is in, and it may not be obvious. You may still have to look up what time zone you need, which defeats the purpose and your argument.

>>17657020
No, it doesn't. Yesterday was Tuesday the 6th of june, and that day will always be Tuesday the 6th of June until the end of the universe. If you know that you can figure out what day it is today, tomorrow, and even the next day. Maybe even the next day if you're REALLY clever.

>>17657021
If you have a GMT watch with you home time dialed in the 24h hand and the time of your location in the regular hours hand...

You have a hand that tells you the time of a place i HOPE you know the conversion to (if you are not brain dead). But, if you want to know what time is it in a third place as Jedda for example... how does the fucking watch help you?

If you have a world timer as a cheap casio, you can navigate cities till it says "jedda" and the watch tells you the time there.

>>17657023
Ill consider you are just trolling.

>>17657026
When people say world timer they are not referring to digital crap.

>>17657028
Why the fuck not?

>>17657028
There are mechanical world timers that di the same thing, it was just an EXAMPLE.

>>17657027
Where is the lie though? You should know what day it was yesterday was, right? Why wouldn't you know what day it was yesterday? You lived in it. Just like you live in your time zone.

Do you have every time zone and which cities exist in every time zone memorized? Or would you need a reference to verify it?

>>17657015
how so?

>>17657035
I would need a world timer watch, not a GMT that tells me nothing i dont already know.

>>17657034
Alright, so look at that dial. It's pretty useful if you're looking up one of those cities on the dial, right? Well, just imagine this - you want to know what time it is in a city that is NOT on the dial. Is your geography good enough that you could figure it out, or would you prefer to reference something?

>>17657034

The point is either way you don't know shit until you look it up. And if you need to look it up you don't know it, so it's helpful to have the extra reference on your wrist.

Keep in mind that political shit can affect time too - even looking at a map can get dicey because sometimes states or countries on the border aren't separated neatly, sometimes certain places within the same state observe daylight saving time while others don't. So looking it up and then being able to remember it by setting your watch to multiple times can be huge.

Unrelated question, but how does the day window work? Does it change quickly qll at once at midnight or doesnit take a few hours to fully change over?

>>17657077
He's not the guy who started this.

>>17657078
Well, i just got it today so I haven't seen it switch over naturally but when I was setting the day of the week it moved in two sections. I imagine it snaps right at midnight based on how the movement worked. You set the day of the week separately from the date and time.

>>17657078
It usually takes a few hours, it starts around 10pm. Mine audibly clicks onto the next day at around 9 minutes past midnight.

>>17656823
Yeah, fair point on the lume. I like the painted indices as a concept, but I can see that having it be fake aged is a little poser mode. Too bad, because the fake patina one glows green, which I actually kinda like better than the blue on their other models.
Autistic screeching on the relative value of GMT hands and date windows aside, that’s all kinda moot, since the applied indices version has a non-optional date window. They also have a Pepsi version of the BB style one that you have, so I guess I’ve got to decide if I like the snowflake or the Mercedes hands better.
I’m not super concerned that people will think I’m broke haha, mostly just don’t want to come off tacky or too much like a LARPer pretending to be rich.

>>17657052
That's a great alternative if you don't want to pay for the real thing but you really get what you pay for. I wold at a minimum get a screwdown back and avoid the 5610 at all costs. It lacks the same symmetry as the standard square and always looks weird because of it.

>>17657113
You get a shorter L2L with the 5610 at least, but I prefer the look of the 5600E

>>17657094
How do you know he's not the guy? Is it because you're the guy?

>>17657120
That's one of the benefits of the 5610, it's smaller and fits some people better. The 5600 has the correct dimension and the module has features lacking from even the highest end squares.

>>17657065
I thought that pic couldn't be right because I'm in central Mexico and get the signal just fine, but I just checked and Fort Collins dwarves the other ones.

a hell of a lot more than you get out of gmt hand. you are a broke boy, you said it yourself. you are not traveling around the globe every couple of days. you do not need a gmt

Oh it's amazing. Has all the features you'd want and built like a tank. Definitely the one I use the most

So, is the MT-G the cope version of the MR-G or is it the other way around?

>>17657199
>Not mechanical
Are you retarded? If I posted "solar" as a feature, it means I think mechanical watches are inferior. Don't answer if you don't agree with the premise, or if you do answer attack the premise directly

>>17657211
>means I think mechanical watches are inferior.
Then you're wrong, subnormal and poor. Be better, poorfag.

Turns out even Lange isn't immune. At least they overengineered the rest of the bracelet as one would expect from the germans.

>>17657218
Those are individual pieces. You can see where they were welded together.

>>17657211
It’s soulless slop. Just admit you can’t afford a decent mechanical watch and move on with your life.

>>17657218
When it comes to Lange, it depends a lot of the kind of bracelet. Odysseus cases are so curved that using a different pieces endlink would put too much stress on the bar holding things together and would risk deforming it and fail.
With less estressed cases, like the one of a Datograph, you can clearly see the different pieces making the endlink. (Picrel)
>tl;dr A. Lange & Söhne is GOD

>>17657113
Would you recommend the 5000-U or the GWMB5000-D?

>>17657227
To be fair they did a very good job with the end link, you can barely tell.

>>17657228
The GWMB5000-D is a full metal case and bracelet, because of the way the endlinks are made it sits better on larger wrists so it's a no go if your wrist is 6.5inches or smaller
It's also pretty heavy, but if you like the look it is made reasonably well.
The 5000u is basically the original gshock design from when the watch was created, with some modern upgrades like the radio time setting and solar.

>>17657211
That amount of anger just proves that you're butthurt about being too poooooooor to buy mechanical god tier watches.

>>17657203

I have friends on the other side of the country, so it’d be nice to track two time zones. But yeah, in all honesty, it’d just be for the aesthetic. I should probably just get a diver like everyone else, but I dive even less than I travel, so that’s double poserdom. Too bad I don’t like the explorer “homage” or field watches more, that’s realistically what I “should” get.

>>17657214
>Then you're wrong
Nice argument

>>17657226
>soulless slop
Fashion is about looks and convenience, "soul" talk is absolute nonsense (even then, to say that gears driven by kinetic energy are more soulful than an oscillating quartz crystal driven by photoelectrons is entirely arbitrary). I don't care what's inside a watch, I just want it to look attractive and tell the time with mininal mantainance, so a well designed solar movement trumps everything else.
>Just admit you can’t afford a decent mechanical watch
I'd never want a mechanical watch, it's just too retarded for me. If you do like to have a mechanical movement inside your watch I have no issue with it, just accept you are somewhat irrational and don't tell me mechanical is better than solar, just say you prefer it

>>17657240
I don't see anger in that reply? But the amount of o's you put there seems to suggest that you're trolling

>>17657252
my man, you should get what you like. but be honest with yourself and say it out loud. i like this, i want it and im buying it. no need to search for reassurance that gmt hand is more useful than date etc. if you like gmt, get the gmt. at the end of the day 99% of us buy watches because we like them and not because we need them

You're better off with some chink homage like San Martin or that other one. They offer more for their money.

Not sure if I genuinely like it or just want it for the status. When I first saw RM watches i thought they were disgusting at best and childlike toys at worst, but the more I look at some of them, pic related for example, Im changing my mind

>>17657233

There’s a lot to like about RM watches. Of course if I had the money I’d buy De Bethune or Greubel Forsey instead 99 times out of 100, but RM does some really interesting stuff. If I was a billionaire I’d buy one for shits and giggles.

This is your response to a reasonable question? Sorry, bro. You're coping.

>>17657210
For reference, The MRG is Casio's top of the line. I mean, just look at the prices. An MRG is like five times the cost of an MTG.

I was standing in line at Dick’s Sporting Goods getting some ping pong balls when I heard a person behind me say something about the “intense shine,” and then started hearing him say something about my watch and then heard “grand Seiko“ come out of his mouth. I turned around and he said, “is that a Grand Seiko? With such an intense shine because of the zaratsu polish?”

What is off with this world, some random person off the street recognizing a Grand Seiko?

I recently saw a guy sitting next to me in business class in a suit wearing a black Pelagos.
I leaned over and said nice watch and flashed my LHD whilst in trackies and wrestling our toddler.
He looked me up and down then just stared at our son and said dejectedly, “Thanks, my wife thought I‘d like it”.
I said, ”She has good taste”. He looked away.

That was it. Awkward. Maybe a combination of fauxpas such as my LHD on my left wrist and someone noticing his diver and suit insulted his sense of life choice subscriptions.

I was not a fan of the MTG-B3000 but based on the rest of your collection I trust and respect your judgement. I stick with digital because I have tiny wrists and I can't get away with huge analog watches like I think I get away with hilariously oversized digital watches.

>>17657228
Those are very popular models that a lot of people enjoy but I have issues with both. I think the 5000U has a better design but the GMWB5000 has the better module. The 5000U has an inferior LED with uneven illumination and doesn't fade in and out, it lacks STN so the display is less crisp and legible, and doesn't have a DST table. The GMWB5000 has all that but it's a hunking piece of heavy metal. I would recommend a GW-B5600 which has the same module as the GMWB5000 except for the STN and unfortunately doesn't have a metal case and screwdown back. If you want a screwdown back and are grown up enough to realize solar and atomic and unnecessary you can get a DW-5000 series. If you want the best of both worlds you have to splurge on a titanium GMWB model. I just noticed all the models I recommend which happen to have the best balance of features are only used for limited editions. It's almost like Casio wants to save the best models and avoids giving them standard editions.

>>17657207
>>17656564
Something that I never see praised enough about these watches is the crown. I have a mudmaster and the crown is extremely well designed.

It’s got a click feature as you twist it after unscrewing it that makes it fun and easy to use. I wish more watches used the same mechanism.

Any construction bros here wear an automatic? Was curious how long one would last. I hang drywall and it’s super hard on equipment. The dust sticks to everything. My watch hand is grabbing screws out of my pouch all day. Was kind of considering getting a Vostok or something to see how it lasts out of curiosity. I just don’t like digital watches

>>17657487
You could just get a quartz analog watch. A vostok might not be a good choice for the dusty environment because unlike most other dive watches their WR resistance changes based on the ambient pressure, so at ambient pressure they're probably wr to like 50m, but as they get deeper into the water and the water starts pressing on the watch it starts to deform and becomes more water resistant. All this to say you might end up with fine dust getting into it.

>>17657478
Lmao

>>17657496
Seems like a solid point. I choose the Vostok just because of the popularity and for it being renown as being resilient. I know it’s illogical but I’d personally prefer to stick with automatic if you have a recc. Quarts tech is cool especially the solar stuff but I’d prefer automatic. Maybe if there’s a really good quartz option I’d go with it. It’s irrational for sure but Id rather go full automatic or fully digital. Quartz is a weird middle ground to me even though it makes the most sense probably.

Just get the Vostok then bro. Even if it dies who cares you'll only be out $100, $160 if it's one of the nice models, which I would go for. They could be plenty good for your purposes, I love mine and would gladly get a second one to beat to death. If it does die report back so we know that dry wall can kill one.

Ok Meranom makes no sense anymore. You have SE vostoks that go for less than regular mainline vostoks. The whole point of the SE line was for it to be for the nicer amphibias, now you have "regular"amphibias going dor $40-$70 more than the SE models.

>>17657113
>That's a great alternative if you don't want to pay for the real thing but you really get what you pay for.
That's the point. I love my G-Shocks but there's no way I'm paying $1500 for a basic module and a titanium bezel+bracelet. The 5610 is my favorite model because it's completely carefree for me, it can sinc with the multiband signal no problem, and the dimensions fit my thin wrist better. And I actually like the assymetry. With the titanium mod it feels perfect, I'm really satisfied with it.

>>17657324
Great watches honestly. Overpriced, but there's really nothing like them. There's few watches with movements as 3 dimensional as them. Love the high end G-Shock look.

>>17657457
They where 3-4k at one point.

>>17657613
Even that price, why would you want to wear a Domino's Pizza logo on your wrist ?

>>17657618
Because you're a big dick dominoes district leader with multiple restaurants and dominoes has paid for 3 of your houses.

From what I understand they don't do rolexes for this program anymore. They give out Omegas and the requirements to get it are way harder to meet. They also apparently don't put dominoes branding on them because I've never heard of a dominoes aqua terra or whatever.

>>17657620

>>17657643
So it must have good legidibility but poor refresh rate, just like MIP. What about battery life ?

>>17657652
Well it was solar powered, but also quite big. I'm not sure why it didn't work out, i guess the tech wasn't ready to go into watches yet.

>>17657654
E-ink is a battery hog. People don't really seem to understand just how efficient a basic polarised LCD is, there's way more going on in an e-ink device. And worse, you can't even afford to refresh the screen every second, because the tech isn't built for it.

>>17657588
That list is 10 years old. I think there are several brands on there that no longer exist.

>>17657513
Automatic watches get easily magnetized. If a tablet or anything that has magnets inside get close to it, you now have a watch that doesn't keep accurate time.

>>17657624
Yeah, it was for franchise owners, it was something to the effect of pulling in a certain level of profit for 3 consecutive months or something like that. If you're actually a dominoes franchise guy it's probably a huge point of pride to have one of these and be able to flex on the other franchise owners at company events and stuff. And of course they're highly collectable regardless because there aren't many of them.

>>17657654
I just looked up that watch, well it's just your average smart watch but with e-ink display and a $400 price mark. The refreshing rate is also atrocious like with all e-ink displays. A good android or apple smartwatch is probably easier to use.

>>17657648
Does anybody know the model ? I can't find it.

>>17657658
Isn't extended battery life the entire selling point for e-ink tablets? I don't know what other benefit would be worth putting up with how slow they are.

>>17657663
E-ink is great for low battery usage on a static screen. You set the pixels once, they can stay like that for a month with very minimal power.

Basic LCDs are happy to update every second and use way less power than e-ink updating every minute. You also have to factor in things like running the larger screen instead of an LCD that can be made up of maybe 40 elements, it doesn't matter how big or complex an LCD shape is if you're just turning it off and on.

>>17657663
No, it's mostly about much lower eyestrain over a classic LCD or amoled display, which is why it's great for e-books. "Permanent" text or pictures that don't refresh 60 times or more per seconds like other displays, like if you were watching an actual page made of paper, and you're right, it doesn't use much power as long as you don't update the page. The downside is B&W or very low color palette and very slow refreshing rate, it's completely unable to play any kind of animation at that point. Look up people trying to play games on e-ink tablets, it's comical.

Frankly, I don't see the point on a watch, you won't feel eyestrain because you look at your watch for a few seconds, and the legidibilty is actually better with a good amoled screen.

>>17657464
>grown up enough to realize solar and atomic and unnecessary
What are the downsides of solar and atomic on a G-Shock?

>>17657658
Isn't the whole point of eink that it doesn't need electricity to display stuff, only to change it?

>>17657682
An LCD changes the screen every second and uses less power than e-ink updating every minute.

It's a gimmick.

>>17657673
Years ago when my mom got a Nook I used to play around with it and try out different games that were available for it. Chess was playable, as you could imagine. But it was still so slow just navigating menus to open the games and start the games and set up the next game that you'd lose interest pretty quickly.

>>17657681
Some people don't like it because they don't spend enough time outside their mom's basement, and they live so far from civilization that the watch can't get the atomic clock signal. If those points aren't an issue for you, there's absolutely no downside for solar+multiband. Just don't leave the watch in a drawer when you don't wear it, leave it near a window so it can keep the charge and is always ready to use.

Also some of the newest G-shocks like the Casioaks are switching to Bluetooth for time sync, so the people who can't get the multiband 6 signal reliably will stop bitching. I'd personally rather keep multiband 6.

>>17657692

Most of these watches have power saving modes. I leave mine in a pouch and charge it about once a month and the battery rarely drops to mid.
