The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

[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.

[A Former User]

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

[goosehd]

@Heavy_blue Excellent choice

[Mizmazzle]

Been loving my Hammy!!

[Mizmazzle]

@Heavy_blue that’s rad, brother!!

[A Former User]

@Mizmazzle hammy & wabby go well together dude!

[Dmart]

@Nik Nice upgrade. I have the 955 and although I love the screen on the 965, I can't justify an upgrade. Enjoy it!

[Nik]

Thanks @Dmart i just did first run with it and had a great time

[Dmart]

@Nik if you don’t mind had some time with the watch. Could you let me know about battery life (GPS use and daily wear, given you wear it 24/7) and screen visibility in sunlight?

[Nik]

Screen visibility is fantastic. I think the old OLED issues have been fixed. Battery life so far is as expected, with 23 days estimated. But I'll let you know in a week how it goes. I've currently got the display as always on.

I received this watch when I bought my Fat-Boy way back when. Forgot I had it, found it in the garage.

[Bigdog]

Now I’m on a mission to find the wood box it came in

[Mizmazzle]

@Bigdog siiick!

[Kasi]

Snag it…

Better hurry only one left..

Time for a new watch

Even though don’t wear the Rolex as much..

Any ideas what watch I should go
For everyday wear not a expensive one

@Kasi You may have better luck if you ask about the watch in the watch thread and give us an idea of your price range.

Here are the two watch threads:

@goosehd

Price up £250

Because I would not mind if it breaks

But don’t want that Hugo or Armani crap.

Some thing that sticks with Iron Heart gear well

[Matt]

G-Shock. It’s what The Boss wears. Unbreakable and tons of options in your price range.

[goosehd]

I too would suggest G-Shocks for your price range which has a great variety of styles to chose from. @Matt beat me to the suggestion
