The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread
-
Fenix 5x sapphire - first 1 lasted me ~5 years I think. They discounted my replacement heavily though. I love it. It’s my golf watch too with the Garmin golf app.

I bought this Garmin Epix 2 sapphire / titan two weeks ago and gave my Venu SQ Music to my son.
Typically I informed myself about the watch, but forgot to look up if there is a follow up modell close. Well a week after I bought it the follow up modell, the Epix Pro, was released.

Such a fun and cool little throwback watch.

Picked this up a couple years ago. 70s Seiko diver.

Love that there's a less intimidating watch thread! I've just seen this for the first time. I'm a little obsessed with watches and have spent the last few years getting into them and buying, trading, etc. It's a beautiful hobby no matter what your budget.

Here’s a couple of fun ones:

@goosehd Thanks mate! Already on that one! Just glad there's one for people getting into, it's so nice that people can ask advice as there's a lot of pitfalls in watch collecting.
-
@Matt I had it custom made for me. Two of my favorite colors!
-
I also picked up the Mission to Mars Moonswatch but waiting on a better strap before posting that guy - hate the nato style strap it comes on so bulky and cheap looking.
-
@goosehd It's not OEM, that would be amazing! I'd get so many made lol. There's a whole community online of people who customize watches, normally Seiko's and Casio's. This one was done by a fella in Singapore who does this as a hobby, he's very talented. He's called David Tan Chee Yong and his handle is gshock_art on insta if you're curious...

@goosehd Dude it's a lot of fun! There's so many way to go. It's a rabbit hole. To get specific and overly detailed - I prefer a smaller watch, I have a 6 and 3/4 inch wrist and mostly wear 40mm and less watches. So I specifically wanted the ladies size casioak (which is still pretty large at 43mm) but feels better on my wrist. So I had to find a guy who could repaint both hands and indices as the female version has nasty silver or gold ones. This dude was the only person I could find that could do it. Like I said... Rabbit hole!

Here’s the Moonswatch I was talking about with the upgraded rubber strap… !
