The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

My GShock has been my work watch for almost ten years now. I may have worn other watches to work, but this one has significantly more wrist time.

This thing is awesome…

Ok, so this watch is GMT and u was very excited to learn how to use the GMT complication. Turns out though that this requires some pretty solid math awareness, which I of course sorely lacking. Is there a GMT for Dummies out there you could point me in the direction of?

I still don’t get it. I’m telling you I have a problem with math.

[Matt]

It’s a really nice watch though.

What exactly do you struggle to understand, Matt?

[Danimal506]

@Matt If that’s the case, stay away from tachymeter bezels and slide rulers

@Matt if your pride can take it you could try asking your girls

or Ava

So time zones and daylight savings also confuse me. My brain just doesn’t get numbers. It never has. I’m a little closer to understanding it. I need to travel with it to really comprehend.

@Matt I think I get it now. It’s a negotiating tool, not a watch!

Loving this…

@Matt 6 o’clock dates are cool

I’ve been wearing this Seiko Sarb033 since January 2017. I added the Uncle Seiko beads of rice bracelet a couple years ago.

I love my Seikos. Would love to have a GS one day. Really like the simple elegance of yours.

@RobeOfTheMagi Oh hey

@Matt Missed your reply. Yea this watch is sometimes referred to as the “baby Grand Seiko”. I really like that cream dial GMT they make. Their dive watches I’m not much a fan of.
