I've never been able to use analog watches, too much brainpower required to work them out when i usually most want to use them (Ie. first thing in the morning mostly) So Digital-only for me have had a Casio digital watch for the past 10 years, was unique as it had a tiny vibrator motor like a mobile phone instead of a beeper, very handy. When it's casing had almost died (plastic, bah, i'd kill for a durable metal housing version of it) i settled for this new one, much the same as my old watch, but with a metal casing and trades the vibrate alarm for the UK-wide radio clock setting utility (ie: updates the time to an atomic clock once per day) Also it is one of the few watches that adjusts small enough for my wrist, which is amazingly thin (i can circle my wrist in one hand making a circle with my thumb and little finger )
Yeah, me too. That's why I went to pocket watches. I hated the watches sliding around on my wrist. Pocket is better, Assuming you have a pocket! Must remember the females and the kilt wearers amongst us. John
my watches: a Breitling replica (as I am to cheap to buy the real thing) for dressed up functions, and a Gul for everyday use (needs a new strap).
What model is this? Been looking to retire my old G-Shock for ages now... quite like the analog/digital aspect of this one
It's a Lotus Type 1 Watch, i got it a couple of years ago. It's nice to look at but uncomfortable to wear . Cost £175 when i got it Lotus as in the car company
I think it's meant to look like a disc brake.... I think the orange part as the caliper and the silver rim as the disc.
For the people scared to wear expensive watches: if you buy a proper watch, it will last you forever (although it may need servicing every so often). The Omega Speedmaster has been to the moon ffs, and a lot of Breitlings, Omegas, etc are designed for military/diving use.
Swatch Irony Chrono "Toxin", awesome watch, I've had it for years now and it's never let me down. A new strap and 2 new batteries, and it's still going strong, worn every day.
Automatics/normal windups shouldn't be less accurate - after all, if they are of decent quality you should be able to adjust their speed at a proper watch shop. My dad has had his two for years now, they are both far older than me, one is about 35. edit: good good, its is very similar to mine which I hope will last a long time.
cant find it on pulsars site, but this is where i got it from - http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/s...151&langId=-1&searchTerms=2774664&Submit=GO+>
A manual/automatic will never be as accurate as a quartz watch. Even certified chronographs are not as accurate.
http://www.teeshirtsrock.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1370 I really want that watch but I can find it for sale in the Uk anyone know a place I can get it from?
Chronometer not chronograph, a chronograph, strictly, a timekeeper that leaves a written record of its going or the going of an associated timepiece; but generally, a watch with a centre seconds hand that can be started, stopped and returned to zero at will. Chronometer, well there's a pretty good wikipedia article about it's definition.
Here is my main watch in my arm It looks awesome I really want this watch but I can't find it locally in Dubai It rocks!!!!!! From Emporio Armani
