The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

[mclaincausey]

Glad you kept that thing, it's sick!

I love my Ranger, I want to go in the field whenever I wear it, or a stealthy night time raid.

[T4920]

I've had one of these sitting in a draw for years, it is in needs of a service and a new strap (was never a fan of the original one anyway...)

Can anyone recommend a strap that'd suit this watch? I'm quite picky, and just can't find one that tickles my fancy.

Understated yet distinctive is what I'm looking for, but maybe that's a paradox!

[Autorotate]

@T4920 love your watch! I have an inspo pic for you. While the pic is not a Tissot, I think you get the idea. With the blue face, I bet you could pull off a teal fabric strap! Otherwise, if you want to do a metal bracelet, I can’t recommend Strapcode highly enough!

[T4920]

@Autorotate thanks for the inspiration, that teal really pops you're right!

[Autorotate]

I was never drawn to blue-faced watches, nor the color teal. I saw this pic on IG and instantly fell totally in love with this set up.

[T4920]

@Autorotate same story when I fell in love with this watch almost 10 years ago. Since the strap broke I fell into the smart-watch trap, but lately I've been wanting to reject modernity and return to tradition..

[Autorotate]

@T4920 LOL! I have and Apple Watch gathering dust. Wore it for about a week. I think I’d rather wear a sun dial… or nothing at all!

[ARNC]

@Autorotate there are certainly wearable sundial options out there - for example this from Nomos. I have been tempted but I’ve never bitten.

@Autorotate I'm just fascinated by the health and fitness insights.

My friend's life was also potentially saved by his Garmin watch recently, it identified Atrial Fibrillation a told him to seek a cardiologist immediately!

@ARNC Thank you!! I bit

I had two of them, managed to sell one. I was def not trying to get rid of both. It’s pretty cool.

[natehate]

anyone have any experience with praesidus watches?

[Crease]

This was my first mechanical watch and I‘ve taken this thing just about everywhere, still love it! Pretty darn tough too!

Pic is when it was new, need to get a current one with the rubber strap…

New Garmin day - from Forerunner 945 to Forerunner 965, from MIPS to AMOLED screen.

[Matt]

I do love an upgrade.

My daughter is 4 and she wanted a watch. This was her choice.

[goosehd]

@Heavy_blue Excellent choice
