The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

[Giles]

Sort of, don't get the point....But that did not stop me and @scooter heading over the the Swatch shop in Hamburg when the original collabs were released. One look at the queue, and we decided that we had better things to do....

Got this one as a birthday present. Like it a lot.

@Twistlock saw this one on a video a while ago. Pretty cool watch!

What would recommend to a friend who likes the look of a Rolex Explorer 36 or Tudor BB 36 and has never spent more than £250 on a watch so far (G Shock GW5000U)?

@m4xime moved your question here.

You could try one of the Seiko watches: https://www.seikowatches.com/ca-en/watchfinder?casesize=Solar&size=310_389mm

@m4xime Hamilton Khaki or Traska Summiteer for me. There's lots options in that category though.

[m4xime]

@hjl360 Yeah the Hamilton Khaki x Engineered Garments was one I was looking at potentially. Not heard of Traska so will check it out.

I'm not that keen on a Chinese homage as I feel I wouldn't connect to that.

It's just a budget citizen eco drive but I love the look of it. Wearing it non stop right now. The strap is natural cxl roughout and I love how it picks up indigo from my 295ib.

Great watch!

New superthin Garmin. Battery size not optimal but at least comfortable enough to wear 24/7 and unlike my old Epix not destroying IH shirts with sharp edges...
