it's funny how these companies like swatch make a big deal of using some recycled materials, in their products that are designed to be disposable and will just sit in some trash heap after they break in a few years
I agree that a mechanical movement that cannot be repaired is absurd. why not just go with quartz then?

>>17793926
It is great, but get the version on the bracelet. It's cheaper to buy the strap and buckle separately than if you want to get the bracelet later.

The bracelet is excellent, by the way. It has a nice microadjust, the links are very flat, it's got a taper, and the clasp is much smaller than the other Seamasters.

The GOAT strap for it is a textured rubber dive strap. That makes it look most like a 60's era diver, I think.

>>17793924

>Certain bridges are laser welded together instead of screwed.

Are you for real? That's the fucking watch equivalent of Apple gluing the battery to the motherboard. Holy fuck.

As cool as these look, I genuinely don't want to enable Swatch with this bs.

>>17793930
The point of the Sistem51 wasn't sustainability. It was a technological demonstration. Who else can build an automatic movement completely from start to finish without a single human involved? That movement was designed from the very ground up for that purpose. The '51' refers to the number of parts, which is way less than a normal automatic movement.

The industrialization of the process is actually very interesting, but there are rarely enough technical people ITT for that discussion. It gets drowned out by autists screeching about a lack of COSC or something.

>>17793930
>why not just go with quartz then?

>>17793928
sell those shitters and get a 222

>>17793934
>The point of the Sistem51 wasn't sustainability. It was a technological demonstration.
that's cool and all, but in that case it should be in a museum and not in mass production

>>17793940
It's fine. It is understood that they're not meant to be an heirloom piece. Most buyers are already watch collectors so they will just wear it on weekends so it's not going to get a lot of wear and tear.
Swatches are disposable. They always have been.

Not every watch needs to last forever to be passed down to your kids.

Eriksen is pretty neat

>>17793949
NO they will inherit my chinese plastic cope facsimile with an unserviceable movement and they will like it along with their bug meals and pod house.

>>17793951

>>17793950
May as well get an ali shitter at this point
>Hey nice tank! oh its an eriksen? who are they?

>everything is a Daytona cope

What do we feel about this? I prefer this to the Daytona desu and I say this as a Rolex owner.

>>17793958
Rolex is cope for PP/VC/ALS/AP.

>>17793958
Daytona is a speedmaster for people with no taste

>>17793961
I don't like neither. What is your feeling on the Hamilton Intra-Matic?

Which FiftyOne Fathoms are you going to get, WT?
I'm feel like Antartic Ocean is the one for me.

>>17793959
I still don't get the hype around the Daytona when the El Primero looks way sexier

Opinion on this Omega cope?

>>17793963
looks the best, but I'm never ever touching that pile of shit
also, everywhere it says that the watch is auto, but I can't fucking see anything resembling a winding rotor in any of the pictures, what gives?

>>17793962
Its alright, the pushers look a bit big though. Quite plain
>>17793964
This. EP original 1969 is sexy as fuck

>>17793965
factory is probably closer to Europe than omegas, lmao

>>17793966
It's a peripheral rotor.

Here's an example:

>>17793974
blow it out your ass

Purchased this yesterday.. thoughts?

>>17793987
>huh, thought that's too advanced for a plastic shitter
Not really.

As has already been mentioned ITT, this thing is not meant to be serviced, but to minimize the number of parts and machine operations needed to make it, so the traditional Swiss gear train design is abandoned in favor of a totally integrated movement and winding mechanism.

>>17793991
just the fact that I've only seen peripheral rotors on VC or some other pretty high tier watches iirc, I thought it should be more difficult to implement, one brand even boasted how they're very special with their peripheral auto
just didn't imagine seeing one on a swatch
but I suppose it's more like onthefly adjust clasps, no reason for them to be only on 4k+$ watches, when you can get one for 40$ from san shartin, other than that jews keep jewing...

>>17794029
A cheap, disposable plastic watch has plastic components?! No! NO! I'M GOING INSANE!

Grow up.

>>17793930
>why not just go with quartz then?

I was under the assumption that the other reasoning behind Sistem51 is that it's the automatic wing of Swatch, which is predominantly known as a brand heavily associated with Quartz watches.

Quartz would just make it another Swatch instead of it's own thing.

>>17794039
it's $400 retard

>>17794042
>it's $400 retard
That's what some straps cost.

Grow up and get a job.

>>17794042
Could be worse. This is the same shit as the PRX and that one is $200 more.

>>17794042
>it's $400 retard

That's not a lot. If it lasts you 5 years, that's 80 bucks per year. That's one visit to a moderately-priced casual dining restaurant.

>>17794029
>THE THING THAT'S DESIGNED TO BE DISPOSABLE CAN'T BE DISPOSABLE!

>>17794051
I know you're trolling, but the fact that the quartz PRX is the same price as this plastic toy watch that looks like something you'd get in a happy meal is hilarious

>>17794032
Seiko has been doing limited editions for ages. If you think Seiko appeals to or actively chases after hypebeasts you are mentally retarded.

>>17793921
i can not fathom, let alone 50 fathoms why you would buy this watch

>>17794053
If you're actively wearing it you'll be lucky to get a year and a half out of a sistem51.

>>17794061
yeah I don't get the appeal either. but then again I never cared about the 50 fathoms at all, it might be historically significant but every dive watch looks like this nowadays
I could imagine buying a Swatch Santos for the lols though. or like a Swatch Lange One. but those are never gonna happen.

>>17794042
>it's $400 retard
And? I literally spent more than that on the last watch strap I bought. Imagine being this fucking poor you’re complaining about a $400 watch lmao

>I spent $1000 on a luxury bag of Doritos just last week!

>>17794100
Can anyone tell me why it seems like the MoonSwatch and the Fifteen Fathoms make the poors MORE upset than any actual expensive watches?
I would imagine they'd be pleased that there are pieces available in their end of the market that are getting attention.

I don't understand. People are defending the $400 plastic swatch because they're that afraid that someone might think they're poor?

>patek looks like this without perfect lighting and edits

remind me again why this crap is overvalued lol

>>17794118
Tbqh it seems like it makes the "wealthy" more mad because Poors are able to get watches that say "Omega" and "Blancpain" on the dial without being replicas.
Frequently I see anons crying
>It weakens the brand!
Subtly revealing it's only the brand that matters to them, and lmao, imagine caring that much about branding when you've really nothing to prove to anyone with your "fuck you money".

Like a luxury watch can be worth 10-20x as much as other watches because they're genuinely 10x better, or that value is purely found on the dial and while so many will claim it's the latter, clearly for this and that Swatch Collab to weaken luxury brands, it has to be the latter.

>>17794022
nice meme but no race car driver ever wore and used this cos his hands were busy with the wheel and the watch would have been unreachable under a glove or suite so after 2s of mild reasoning I'm fairly convinced it's all rolex marketing to make boomers feel special

>>17794032
1. remove the x
2. remove the yellow lume
then I might consider it

>>17794030
Don't you have any dignity

>more complaints about the Swatchyfathoms than the MoonSwatch

Explain this.

They're both shit, so why all the hate for the Fathoms?

>>17794111
Yeah you’re coming across as pretty desperate. Just get a job kiddo.

>>17794029
Assuming they used a strong modern plastic it makes sense to make your wear parts out of a material known for its ability to resist both wear and thermal expansion. LIKE PLASTIC.

TIVAR HPV has a sliding coefficient of friction on itself that's LOWER than steel on jewel bearings.

The plastic will probably lost LONGER than steel/jewels.

>>17794118
>Can anyone tell me why it seems like the MoonSwatch and the Fifteen Fathoms make the poors MORE upset than any actual expensive watches?
>I would imagine they'd be pleased that there are pieces available in their end of the market that are getting attention.

The poors are pre-emptively mad about the hype and speculation that will drive up prices beyond what they're able to pay. It's like how sneaker collectors bitched about speculators shutting them out of their own hobby.

I think with the MoonSwatch, in particular, (and this probably won't be the case with the FF) is that a lot of poors scrimped and scrounged and managed to buy a used Speedmaster Pro. They were the ones who were bitching about the dilution of the brand, like what >>17794137 alluded to. it bothered them that their trophy watch had a cheap plastic equivalent. There aren't that many FF owners out there and those people probably don't fucking care about the Swatch collab.

>>17794137
The irony is that a Blancpain FF is going to be many times better than a Swatch FF and serves to prove the superiority of luxury watches over pleb trash, while you get the Chinese brands that manage to be way better than the Swatch and much closer to Blancpain for less than the Swatch but few are seething about AliExpress watches "cheapening" the luxury watch brands simply because they don't have the brand on them.

So it's obvious it is just the branding that's important, the Chinese *could* be (not suggesting they are) making watches for a fraction of the price but far better made and spec'd than their luxury counterparts and people would still be saying the luxury brands are well worth the premium simply because of branding and the price barrier most can't afford.

That's why /wt/ is trash.

>>17794157
>They're both shit, so why all the hate for the Fathoms?
The Fathoms is new, the MoonSwatch is old news. We've had a year's worth of memes on the MoonSwatch.

>>17793958
>Paul Newman
>Just a regular panda chronograph
I don't like the lugs and the watch is too big. You guys like my reverse Newman Autavia?

>>17794144
What do you mean? They got it for free from their parents, everyone who's rich gets stuff for free, what does dignity have to do with it? I want a free watch too.

>>17794162
>So it's obvious it is just the branding that's important, the Chinese *could* be (not suggesting they are) making watches for a fraction of the price but far better made and spec'd than their luxury counterparts and people would still be saying the luxury brands are well worth the premium simply because of branding and the price barrier most can't afford.
Yes, because this is jewelry. Functionality is a nice-to-have, not a need-to-have.

>>17794166
>You guys like my reverse Newman Autavia?
No, not really. I don't like chronographs in general, but I appreciate your photography and knowledge of old chronos.

>>17794158
t. Funko Pop collector.

>>17794172
You're so feminine. :^)

>>17794171
>knowledge of old chronos.
Thanks but I really don't know that much

>>17794161
Also it's not like the MoonSwatch is any more of a gimmick than the regular Moonwatch is, having seen the box and everything that comes with it, it barely even seems like one has bought a luxury watch, but instead a souvenir bought from the Cape Canaveral gift shop as a piece of NASA memorabilia.

Other than that Omega have got the Seamaster 300 which obviously they paid top dollar for it to be James Bond's watch since 1995 and again market the shit out of that fact so again you don't feel like you're buying a watch, you feel like someone who had an absent father and are desperate for a father figure and found on in James Bond, a fictional character you desperately try to emulate for a lack of direction in becoming a man, no unpretentious inspirator whom you once said "one day I want to be just like you!" having felt the respect people have for someone who does something and does it well. No instead you need suits, vodka martinis and of course the official Bond watch to feel respectable.

There's nothing Swatch has done to make the Omega brand any more gimmicky than it already is. If the moon landings are proven to be hoaxes and Invicta outbids Omega for James Bond's wrist then they will essentially lose all their value as far as their marketing department is concerned.

>>17794169
It's worse than jewelry, they're insignia to denote your social rank. Seikos are for privates, NCOs get Omegas but only the commissioned may apply for Rolex.

>>17794186
What about grand basedko and homos?

don't Seiko make the best Quartz anyway?

>>17794190
>don't Seiko make the best Quartz anyway?
Sort of, but they're the only ones who have put any development money in it since the 1980s.

The Swiss have realized that no one considers quartz watches luxurious (apart from women, who really are only looking at the diamonds).

>>17794144
i don't. buy me every single G-shock for the meme collection.

>>17794195

>buy 1500 formex

What? You can't afford it? Are you poor?

>>17794221

>>17794228
You'd have to be poor to even type something like this.

Honest to God, in this "hobby" a <500 usd purchase is the bare minimum. I normally buy $600 straps.
I don't get the fuss for a 400 pricetag for a fun watch.

>>17794265
Yes, everyone is very impressed

>>17794265
you buy $50 straps with $550 premium

>>17794032
That's why you buy vintage Seiko, you legitimately get more for your money.

>>17794035
If San Martin isn't making an SS copy now it sure will soon.

Why do these threads attract so many seething poorfags? If you dumb idiots see anything besides Casio you go apeshir. It’s unlike anywhere else on the internet, I shitpost on boomer watch forums and you never see anywhere near amount of vitriol that rears its ugly jealous nigger head here.

>>17794265
there's no difference between a $500 watch and a $3000 watch

>>17794265

bad idea but ok you do you

>>17794286
people on watchuseek are losing their shit over the SJE093, which is $3500 for a 6 series movement limited edition. this is why i said they were becoming hypebeast

Swatch x Blancpain or Swatch x Omega isn’t for you.

All watch enthusiast know that Swatch is, from a technological standpoint, doing the bare minimum here while charging several hundred dollars.

The point is that normies see it in a mall, see the bright colors, see the word Swiss; the salesman uptalk’s the product: “Yeah the Blancpain is a really legendary watch…first watch on the Moon…normally it costs thousands, but this is just as good! You’d look great in the Green one!” Then the normie drops $400 thinking they got a good deal and can’t wait to tell everyone how epic their watch it

Then you have the whales you will buy anything

I mean that begging is shameful. Also it makes no sense. You are rich to some actual third worlder who can't afford a $0.99 F91W Aliexpress replica. Would you buy one if you were asked? If yes, why stop to one only? everybody deserves one. There, now you are poor. You can demand stuff of others only if you're the lowest of the lowest, and the mere fact you post on 4chan proves you aren't.

こんにちは! My name is シュギウアマ and I have come here seeking advice. I am interested in purchasing a timepiece from the renowned Japanese Seiko brand, but am unsure of which model to select. I would prefer the watch size to be a normal size of around 36mm or smaller so that it does not interfere with my training. I would also like the watch to have a timer so I can precisely time my training drills. Thank you for your consideration. シュギウアマ, out!!!

Whats the best analog quartz out now?

>>17794137
Pic in this post is wrong on so many levels it is fucking painfull.

Of course most of the people walking in designer clothes aren't rich but trying to pose like them, but when it comes to actually rich people they do buy better quality stuff because they last longer. It doesn't mean buying fashion shit but something long lasting.

What really pisses me off is that for the second time in a row they make an ugly shitty plastic watch and it becomes once again the most significant watch event of the entire year.
Either people want to buy it even though it's an expensive, ugly piece of throwaway plastic shit or people hate it and just can't stop giving their opinion on how bad it is.
And then you have retarded contrarians like me who talk about it to complain about how everyone else is talking about it. It pisses me off to no end just how much free marketing they get out of these.

I'm looking for something that will be both a style watch and a fitness tracker as I don't wanna have two separate watches, so basically something that will be with me 24/7 so to speak.

That's why I buy $600 Rolex fakes.

Depends on the model.

Depends on your house.
Depends on how you dress.
You can pull it off depending on the above.

>>17794477
grand seiko. yeah they make cool dials and interesting movements but the whole "hh levels of finishing for rolex prices" is fucking bs. they are cool watches but thats it

patek. 99% of watches coming out of there are objectively hideous. yes yes muh conplications no one fucking cares its not impressive we had this shit literally for centuries courtesy of ALB. they have made nice watches but given the sheer volume of different references coming out of there over the decades that might as well be random chance

nomos or any bauhaus brand. the whole minimalist easy to mass produce aesthetic is the antithesis to luxury and attempting to merge the two is a poor attempt at hiding your creative bankruptcy. also homos lol lmao

oris. i try to like them. i like how they look. but holy shit fuck you deserve to burn at the stake for selling an sw200 for 2k unFUCKINGregulated

Is there a $250-300 dollar alternative to this? I wear my SNXS79 all the time, so I know that this all works for me, but don’t want to get into the $500+ territory because I’m a realistic human bean

>>17794622
get an eco drive shitizen. they all have that generic look but are actually accurate

>>17794595
>hey cool watch is that a role...
>oh never mind

>>17794626
Fair advice but most citizens still have too much mall ninja in the designs. My SNXS79 is awesome but has some stuff I don’t love (shit power reserve, no hand wind and tiny crown, bad lume, needs an aftermarket bracelet, sorta tall)

Anyways how’s your day anons? I Found out my company is closing today, so some tough news but I will get a tidy severance (hopefully)

>>17794622
>SNXS79
That's already pretty good. Also probably the only grey sunburst dial at that price point and higher.

>>17794635
It’s an awesome watch honestly, gets worn 3+ days a week. They’re also shooting up in price…

>>17794521
Did you have any specific versions from those lines you were considering?

>>17794622
Rolex Oyster Perputual Replica. Can't tell the difference between it and my real one side by side.

>>17794661
Nice, I’m not opposed to fakes. Got a link? However the traska offers a model with a 6 o’clock date window and 6 o’clock date windows get my bussy quivering

>>17794646
for the fenix I'm thinking on either the 6 or the 7th, for the Forerunner ones I really don't know.
I'm no penny-pincher here myself and don't mind paying a lot on something as long as it's worth it/good

I think it's both. I don't see how anyone on any side of the spectrum could really be pleased by these watches. Both wealthy and poor watch people know that if you're interested in buying a $300-600 watch there's no shortage of high quality steel watches with respectable stats. Why on earth would you ever pay $400 for a plastic watch? Why would you buy a "dive watch" that has under 100m water resistance for that money? And, I reiterate, a fucking plastic case? It's just stupid. Do they even have sapphire crystals? What would justify this cost?

If they went with the usual Swatch business model of making quirky reliable shitters for a low price that would be one thing. If the Moonswatch and this were under $200 I'd say even that might be a little expensive but I could understand it. But they're $400, they hyped the shit out of them and didn't make enough of them so there was retarded arbitrary demand, AND they're shitty low quality and they break easily. Who could honestly appreciate that? They're not doing anybody any favors.

I always want to get a GS but I'm always disappointed by their oversized cases, their lack of attention to detail like ugly center of the wheels, and their outrageous prices. In the end their designs don't look very exciting. I still hope they make a watch I like one day.

you getting the new Shatner watch?

>>17794690
Ok have a great day, enjoy being a snobby fag

>>17794700
>says the actual fag

>>17794297
They already did this watch with a much better movement for 5k a few years ago. It was stupid then too
I think it was the SLA

>>17794622
Don't buy trashka, the last batch of those had misaligned indices on every single watch, looked like they were glued on by Chinese elementary schoolers (they probably were)

>>17794695
The oversize cases really annoy me. I got the 36mm 9F that they're discontinuing, and I will swear to satan that I didn't just get it because it was the cheapest GS, the others were just disgustingly big

>>17794698
Are people seriously buying Chinese watches from a company by a C list celebrity buying endorsements from B+ list celebrities?

>>17793958
that's a Heuer Carrera cope but sadly unwearable garbage because of the dogshit gigantic Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement which should finally get retired already so it stops ruining watches.

>>17794707
>swear to satan
Be careful, don't cut yourself on all that edge.

>>17794708
Yea probably. They've at least sold a few hundred of them lol.

>>17794707
Unless the spring drive movement is particularly huge I really don't understand why they refuse to make watches under 40mm.

>>17794711
nightstalker-kun disapproves of your post

>>17794713
despite their aggressive expansion in the west I believe they're still strongly japanese in their product development and the japanese market currently wants large watches for some reason

Regular fitness tracker watches look like utter shit with anything but gym or running outfits, sorry. As far as I know frederique constant vitaly is the only watch with some fitness tracking functionality that doesn't look offensive

Remember even if you have $1,000,000 in investments - if you decline buying a $400 hyped up plastic watch: You're poor.

>>17794758
I actually think this is a cool concept but it's a shame that Swatch is absolute bottom tier in quality. It's crazy to me that people justify it by saying it's just $400 so it's fine for a "fun disposable watch" when you can get a mechanical Seiko with good built quality and a reliable movement for that price.

>>17794760
Not just watches, but everywhere. Like magic the gathering x lord of the rings. gshock x mario. keychron x oneplus. pokemon x miku. I guess it's just a "consumerist hobby" staple technique to drive more sales.

They saw every soi hype and overvalue the shitty sneedmaster thing to the extent that a non-limited massproduced item, for which the barrier to entry was just to wait a few months in order for them to restock, was being bought and hoarded with the intent to resell at 5x the price whereas in other regions you could just get one from swatch at retail with no wait.
They saw morons fall for a joke, and so accelerated the absurdity.
Why not, when morons will buy?

What's next: SwatchXBreguet made out of paper for $1000.
Doesn't even tell the time, it's literally a paper cutout of a watch that you loop around your wrist and have to lick to stick like an envelope.

They're just really unintelligent lizard brain people. You can tell because no matter how much you explain in dumbed down retard language to try to help them understand that it's the quality of the watch relative to the price that is the problem and not just that the price is too high, they will just repeatedly continue calling you poor.

I'll pay $400 for a well built steel watch all day. I'll pay $1000. I'll pay $5000, fuck it. But it has to be a good watch. I'm not buying crap that's going to bleed off pigment onto my skin and snap the lugs off in a week.

>>17794961
Shitskins and trolls. You have dudes here thinking they're hot shit with their used explorer and then they drive a Mazda. It's mainly a larp though to piss people off. Nearly all the successful people I've met aren't exactly frugal but they know the value of money.

>>17794910
Not a difficult goal if you realize not doing it will result in a miserable life and therefore impose a goal and a set date where if you don't achieve it you'll kill yourself. I've set such goals numerous times and knowing the clock is ticking really forces you to act and leads to the goal being achieved. It's like if someone has your family hostage and demands 1 Million dollars and gives you an entire year. I garuntee you you'd find a way to get the money. Suddenly playing Bing Bing wahoo, or touching yourself, or sleeping around, or drinking doesn't seem appealing or even an option if you're literally up against the wire.

Most people paying off a house isn't a big deal. Average mortgage is only 300k. If you're making 80k and take on additional work and incest your money well, easily could pay it off in under 5 years.

Grand Seiko’s bracelets are outdated, underwhelming and do not match the effort they put into the case, etc.

But for me, the most disappointing thing is the accuracy of all of their non-Spring Drive movements. GS fags say that they intentionally “underpromise”, but this is bullshit as I’ve owned several GS’s automatics.

If GS actually cared, everything from the 8L and up should be made to match Rolex accuracy but I can tell you from experience that unless you get lucky, you could be gaining +8 seconds a day with many of their top models.

For a watch in that price range, that’s absolute bullshit.

>>17794972
Triggered poorfag. You’re not getting a good watch for less than $2k and that’s me being very generous because I feel bad for you. $400 is the price of a decent strap, or maybe a poorfag deployant.

>You’re not getting a good watch for less than $2k

Seiko prospex divers are a lot nicer, real dive watches, and only a little more money. Dive and dive-style watches are really bulky and kind of uncomfortable with any sleeves. Mine are really annoying with sweatshirt elastic cuffs. SRPE53K1 is less of a fake dress watch and a lot cheaper for the same movement. But really, buy a cheap casio and save up for whatever swiss watch you wish you were buying

>>17795072
*less of a fake dive watch

The most extreme activity I would be doing would be taking it swimming, which I don't do often, so I'm not too worried about it not having higher water resistance.
I may be able to get a deal on a used one for well below retail, which is why I'm considering it over say a Casio. The Prospexes are nice but much more expensive than what I would be paying.

>>17795095
There's nothing wrong with any seiko mechanically so if you like it go for it. Be suspicious of anything unusually cheap as there are definitely chinese clones of most seiko 5 models now.

>>17795087
>>17795090
even those shitty pics make it clear seiko made a good call to split it into street and diver

>>17795101
there are nice unbranded clones for 60 bux

So seiko killed the SKX because it was giving too much value to the consumer

>>17795106

get your heads out of your asses, skx is dogshit and it was always dogshit, just that it had "divers" written on it, big fucking deal, doesn't even comply to current diver standards, that's why they killed it

>watch to get a seiko 5
>search for info on the movement
>The expected fallout of caliber 4R36 is between +45 / -35 seconds per day.

Is this true? How is it this bad? I thought Seiko made quality watches.

>>17795165
It's usually not that bad in practice, but it isn't good by any stretch of imagination. You can expect somewhere around +10-20spd and you can always pay a tenner to get it regulated.

>>17795133
Honestly, I would buy a san martin, but their logo is so dog shit ugly that I can't get past it.

>>17795165
For whatever reason, seiko likes to lowball their tolerances in the spec sheets. Usually they run much better than their stated numbers.

>>17795133
is the san shartin with on the fly adjustable clasp? how does it compare to turdors clasp?
