Friendly reminder for new posters joining our general, Seiko watches are overpriced shitters with terrible QC and are shilled by people who don't know any better. The brand has been cashing in on their name and recognition for the past decade, using it as an excuse for poor quality and QC, and hasn't released a watch worth buying at the price in forever.

Last request got buried in the last thread, reposting:

Need a watch that wouldn't be afraid of sand and salty sea water (so I don't need to clean it after swimming) and would look acceptable to wear with swimming shorts at the beach or wearing my everyday singlet, shorts and flip flops.

I already have a classic F-91W that I use for my work everyday and it is all covered in dust and sweat so I don't want to wear it after work.
Thinking to buy a silver F-91W for my everyday needs but it just looks too retro and is probably not salt-water proof.
Maybe just all black would be better so it wouldn't attract so much attention.
Want it to be as slim as possible, so probably digital preferred.

Saltwater (Or salt for the matter) corrodes all types of regular seals and gaskets, and the solution is to just simply rinse it in water while washing hands or etc.

ok, and in your opinion what are some budget automatic options apart from Seiko and Orient? Can't think of anything besides some Russian brands like Vostok or Sturmanskie. Maybe something Chinese?

Personally, I can't think of anything better for less than 200 USD than Seiko. That's dirt cheap level, you'd have trouble buying a nice quality strap for that money. I got an SKX007 some time ago and can't complain much. Many major brands nowadays have some quality control issues. A few years later I got an Omega Speedmaster MothM and after returning it for warranty service work in official Omega central, I got it back with stopwatch stopping each time the second hand tried to pass a certain point. This means that the official Omega watchmaker didn't even bother checking the correct operation of the watch after putting it all together. An independent watchmaker I know says that the quality control issues are common here. The same applies to other mass-produced watches, like Tag Heuer.

I wouldn't go that far, but it does seem that the collective of watch enthusiasts have smaller wrists than the average male. My wrist is just over 7" circumference, so about average, but flat shaped as opposed to round so it looks larger than it is. My point is, this watch is 50mm lug to lug, which is considered massive in the watch world, but it should be wearable for a little less than half of men

"Research suggests that sperm counts have dropped by half in the last 50 years or so and that a higher percentage are poor swimmers – slow, ungainly or beset by genetic flaws. The exact cause of that decline is not well understood. ... But many researchers suspect chemical residues in the environment may be partly to blame."

$150 for the no date version but I paid like $20 extra for S&H. This is still a pretty good deal considering everywhere else you won't see a Marathon for under $200 except for their non-tritium Maraglo models which cost as much. Tritium, Swiss quartz movement, legit military brand. Acrylic bezel is pretty much shatterproof, but it scratches kinda easy. Scratches come off easy with polywatch though. 12hr rotating bezel is cool too.
I grabbed a black no-date a few months back and I love the thing enough it's become my everyday watch. Worst thing about it is the shit water resistance - only 30m - so I don't wear it when showering.

No it's called physics. Look at the rotor and see how hard it banks when going in the opposite direction, and how much stress it puts on the clutch when winding in the "right" direction.

Hardly wear it anymore, will probably sell it as is. But yeah, the oils have probably turned into abbrasives instead of lubrication by now.

Don’t do it. I’ve had a Corgeout shitter before and it fell apart. It was a cheaply made, cheap feeling watch. Save up for a better shitter.

black bay?
How did it fall apart? This is a seiko quartz so it shouldn't have any problems movement wise

low positional and day to day device indicated that the movement is precise and therefore likely reliable. this is different from accuracy

They are different. A watch that is off by 11.5 seconds every day and in various position is more precise than a watch with high variation centered at 0 spd. The more precise watch will likely be more robust and easier to regulate than the watch with greater deviations from its average time lost/gained.

you can pick up a brand new oyster perpetual for that budget, so if you're willing to look at some used stuff on the grey market there are explorers and probably some (kind of beat up, or older stock) subs floating around
