They are +30 seconds a month. Literally heaps of watches that are more accurate.
Your Casio is a nice timepiece, but let’s not get carried away into thinking it’s the most accurate watch ever made there sport.

>>15245805
True, you'd need to spend something crazy like 40 bucks on a watch if you wanted the most accurate watch ever made.

Is it taboo to mention that the Daytona is a complete rip-off of the Speedmaster?

>>15245775
And why can't watches be used for other purposes?

>>15245866
its not taboo, its just wrong. there was more than two sprts chronos in the 60's. it would be taboo to say that you like the speedmaster better than the daytona and that the styling on the speedmaster is better than the daytona, both aesthetically and functionally

Alright guys! It's happening! Battle lines have been drawn, and you can only choose one side! Patek Philippe vs Jaeger-LeCoultre! The final battle for haute horlogerie is upon us!
1.) Which side do you choose?
2.) Of the one you chose would you like one watch, or a large collection of different watches from the brand? Only rule is you can't choose a large collection of "big purchases" (watches that cost 100ks chf).

Why do all these watch brand webpages have the same revolting format where you need to scroll all the way to the bottom to view anything?

>>15246066
I choose PP and a large collection (Calatrava, Nautilus, Aquanaut)

>>15246066
1) Patek Philippe
2) Large collection

I've never owned a watch before but I need one for flying. I want a cheap digital watch with 24-hr clock, stopwatch capabilities, backlight, and with an emphasis on simplicity. I don't want 10 different things on the face of the watch telling me different information. Just the time is good. I'd also prefer a cloth strap.

Is the watch in OP's pic the best bet?

>>15246425
For me, it's the MTG.

>>15246434
yes, just get an aftermarket 18mm strap. not a NATO because it's a tight squeeze through the spring bars and the watch slides around too much. also get the one with EL backlight ILLUMINATOR not the normal f91W which has a shit ass tiny light bulb. the EL backlight drains a lot of battery but unles you are using it ten times a day you'll still get 3-5 years out of one battery.

>>15246391
Since that point is the lower half of the circle the 9's tail point down. If it was flipped it would be pointing up and looking more like a six. It does look a little confusing though.
>>15246434
I would suggest a casio f104 or w86 since they have a better back light, maybe consider a wave ceptor casio that syncs to your current timezone.

>>15246425
I want to get a second ga2100. I love my red one but I wouldn't want to do the casiOAK bezel swap on it, been thinking about getting one of the less standard colorways and using it for a bezel mod. I like the dial on this one.

>>15245661

A more standard dial on this one. Remember to ignore the case one these, it will be replaced with the bare metal bezel, I'm only looking for an interesting dial. These weird colorways are nice because they're not marked up to a retarded price point like the stealth colorway or the black with silver indices.

Not sure how I feel about this dial

>>15246450
How functional is the lume on the hands? Do they give you a good amount?

>>15246439
>>15246440
>>15246444
thanks guys, i'll look into these.

>>15246460
I haven't bothered to check. The light works plenty fine to illuminate the dial and the hands. I'll try to remember to do a check and report back.

>>15246391
Note how the date wheel is trying to be always legible, I think it is a normal 9, just looks odd in contrast.

>>15246450
I think that dial is the best for a bezel swap
Maybe this if you want a splash of color
>>15246445

has anyone here bought a mesh watch band they can recommend? need one 20 mm wide for my seiko

>>15246455
I like it. W2c

>>15246455
they should have gone all out and had orange hands or day indicator.

>>15246514
That would have made it so perfect for a bezel swap.

Other options

This one is just comical

>>15246552
Yeah casio went hard on Christmas color scheme watches for some reason, they did 5 or 6 different models with that colorway.

I can't find any other colorways

>>15246567
I think you posted most of them. They are all at the top of this page if you want to double check.

>>15246552
>>15246590
These are nice though for that late 80s and early 90s vibe.

>>15246455
Think I like this one the best after the basic black ones.

>>15246607
The idea is to switch the case to a metal one like this. Which would you prefer?

>>15246612
is it suppose to look like an AP Royal Oak?

>>15246619
dude people literally call it the casioak

>>15246612
I actually think
>>15246590
Might be good for the bezel swap. The dial is all blue accents and It would be a nice pop of color.
Otherwise
>>15246567
Or
>>15246450
Or maybe
>>15246445
For the cool grid dial, real retro 90s vibe.

Are there any decent, affordable watches for women or have companies figured out that women couldn't care less about build quality and/or the technical aspects of a watch?

>>15246696
>Are there any decent, affordable watches for women
the women's casios. they're all 20 bucks and it's just the typical reliable casio quality but in rose gold or white. the babby g-shocks are actually quite nice and wearable for a man as well but they sadly have the word baby g engraved into them which limits the wearability for many men and also some women

>>15246657
Black one with white indeces isn't an option due to having inflated prices, all the other ones are available for reasonable g-shock prices.

So... Samurai or Tuna?

>>15246712
Tuna for me.

>>15246703
Thanks. Baby g's are pushing it looks wise but anything from casio is probably better than the michael kors watch she has and the cacharel one she wants to buy.

>>15246696
Define "decent", since you know that women don't give a shit about anything except looks and brand, and they definitely don't give a shit about winding or setting a watch (so quartz is a must) what exactly are you even looking for?

>>15246712
different moods. the samurai feels industrial, aggressive, modern, compact. it's a comfy watch with cool design features like the monster hands, super heavy graduations on the bezel, sharp lugs, and knurled crown that give it this almost blade runner aesthetic. it's very different and people notice it.
the tuna on the other hand is much more classic, the big cushion case is maximum comfy and dates it to the 60s-70s, it's got a clear tool watch aesthetic and unique design choices like the 4 o'clock crown, the shape of the indices, the combination of round indices and sharp hands, the neat bezel. the size gives it a lot of presence but all the rounded aspects make it seem casual and fun.
personally I prefer the tuna, it's so classic and wearable, but before I flipped my samurai it got a couple compliments meanwhile other watches I own, even expensive ones, don't even get noticed.

>>15246723
citizen makes some good classic women's watches, clearly for women with small proportions and a lot of warm gold but tasteful and you get their eco-drive movement which is the best solar in the game and makes it a true watch you don't have to fuss about. competitive pricing too, usually can be had for 100-150. most are classic but there are some more playful designs.
and although people don't like them, there's also swatch. yeah yeah >swatch, but the prices are not going to be as bad as michael kors/cacharel shit, typically under 100, and they have a lot of fun, cuter, colorful designs women tend to like, if she is the type who wants a colorful watch to express herself with. they also weigh practically nothing which women like.

>>15246729
I'm wondering if there's a chance of finding (quartz) watches she'd like in the ~200€ price range that are equivalent to Seikos and other "decent" men watches in the same price range as far as everything other than looks is concerned. Most watches I've come across that have clothing brand names on them are aliexpress tier and it's a shame paying 200 for that.

>>15246740
a citizen
just go on amazon right now and look for "citizen women's watch eco-drive" I guarantee there will be something she likes, and you're buying from a brand that has real history and accomplishments and standards

>Casio makes a watch that's absolutely perfect
>Except it uses a proprietary strap system so you can't attach a different band
Why?

>>15245971
If it weren't so comically oversized, it would actually look decent.

>>15246712
Tuna all the way.

>>15246767
It's probably not oversize, the average star trek fan's wrist is about 3''

>>15246738
>>15246745
Thanks, I like Citizen. I'll leave Swatch as a last resort.
Speaking of quartz, I've been eyeing the Longines VHP, but spending that much on a quartz doesn't feel right. What would you look at under 1k?

>>15246764
OceANUS?

>>15246434
>I've never owned a watch before but I need one for flying.
But for flying, you NEED a watch made for flying/pilots!
So you HAVE to get a Flieger, or at least a GMT, or something like that busy dialed slide ruler watches or maybe even an air king. But AFAIK there's no digital watch made for flying, so sorry, you can't do that!
Personally, I'm kinda partial to Sinn. They've got classic Fliegers and a reissue of the iconic Luftwaffe Chrono, but if you're up for something more unusual, their 857 UTC TESTAF LH Cargo is great! Fully TESTAF certified (so it's a real pilots watch!) and made to celebrate Lufthansas 777F planes! How cool is that!

>>15246712
For me, it's:

I sleep with my watch on because I'm too lazy to wind it and I don't go a lot of places due to the lockdown

I know this is satire but I'm sure there's people like this

>>15246798

>>15246696
>Are there any decent, affordable watches for women
If she's into bauhaus inspired stuff, you could go for Junghans, or if price is an issue, Junkers. Small, simple dials, choice of Quartz or Mecha movement.
Especially with Junghans, you'd get a respected brand with history and all that. Junkers is a bit iffy (they got nothing to do with the aeroplane manufacturer they bought the name from), but you probably could do worse.

>>15246799
What gave it away?

…but seriously, I like this watch!

>>15246798
>I sleep with my watch on because I'm too lazy to wind it

Does it magically wind during your sleep? Watches are uncomfy to sleep in. Damn you are lazy.

Fuck I wish I wasn't poor so I could get a decent watch, I just need one, not even a collection or anything. :(

>>15246937
there are decent watches under $100, even if you don't want quartz

Do people even buy tourbillons for their functionality?

>>15245829
>>15245841
>relying on a external source to keep your watches accurate

thats cheating

>>15246832
>Watches are uncomfy to sleep in
Depends on the watch. Sub 100g titanium? You won't even notice it. Some 250g full steel shitter? Not so much. A buddy of mine has some hideous Breitling that's 160g without the fucking strap, it's like owning an SUV to take the kids to school.

>>15245757
i dont like rolexes but this is true lmao

people are just seething that they cant afford some nice stuff

>>15246781
>I've been eyeing the Longines VHP, but spending that much on a quartz doesn't feel right. What would you look at under 1k?
The nice quartz watches, like the Longines VHP, "the citizen" watches from citizen and entry level grand seikos all start at about 2.5 thousand USD. Those are all very nice watches with high quality quartz movements and great finishing that are worth the money. So if you really like one don't feel bad about spending the money on a quartz watch, they are nothing like a $30 casio.
In the more affordable range check out Casio OceAnus watches, the entry level ones have great finishing and atomic timekeeping + solar battery and they start at about $500.
Also look at citizen especially some of the JP only stuff like the Atessa line.
In fact go to an import website like
https://www.sakurawatches.com/
And poke around some. The japs keep all the good watches for their domestic market.

Omega makes the spacemaster and skywalker x-33. Breitling makes an anilog-digital watch that has flight functions called the cockpit. I'm sure there are others but none of them are cheap.

>>15246696
99% of women look at watches like another fashion accessory, its just like another handbag to them, they dont care about the engineering part.

>>15246937

nobody wears a 91w and thinks it actually looks good

you know this is true

Has anyone bought one of these Timex "Ironman Original 30” watches? From the reviews on the timex website it's apparently the only ironman that doesn't fall apart and break after a week. I know that I'm better off buying a g-shock but I'm kind of nostalgic for the old school ironman and this is externally just like the ones from the late 90s and early 2000s.

>>15247056
Well i guess it's no quite identical but it's pretty close.
This is an actual old Ironman.

i wear a f91-w on the 5th hole closest to the face of the watch. any chance i can fit a baby g or are they even smaller? i think i have small wrists already

>>15247079
Can you fit the chink straps on the baby G? Those things go incredibly small, you could wear one of those with a 4 inch wrist if you took all the links out.

>>15247079
I have an f91-w and a baby-g square. The holes on the bracelets are in about the same position, I'm on the 4th hole on both. So it should fit you fine.

Asking from the previous thread.

Where to cop used Omegas? Is Chrono24 a good idea? Do I need original papers to prove they are not scams?

>>15247056
The only timex watches I like are the old datalink USB ones.

Shame about the battery life, the ruputer had the same issue.

>>15247083
>Can you fit the chink straps on the baby G
I don't think so, I'm pretty sure the springbar on the baby-g squares is 14mm.

>>15245661
>as well as the electrical and chemical engineering that are required to make a fine plastic timepiece.
Here, I improved it for you.

>>15247092
Old used Omegas 1999 or older, don't buy any without doing tons of research and making sure you know what you are buying.
Newer used omegas, chrono 24 is probably okay. It's best to buy from reputable dealers with papers but you will pay more. There are fakes, I'm not really sure how good they are and if you really have to worry about buying one accidentally.

You could also check zenmarket to see if there are any on yahoo auctions japan.
Just be aware that shipping from Japan is kind of fucked right now. You should only get stuff shipped fedex or dhl, everything else is a mess.
That might make zenmarket a better option because it should be easier to arrange one of those shipping methods with them than a random Japanese eBay seller.

It's ±5 seconds per year, guys, I never have to bother with setting my watch

how many F-91’s have you owned in your life /wt/? how many do you own now?

>>15247615
If you had a decent watch, it'd do summer time for you. It doesn't really matter anyway, after this year most of the world is going to abolish it because it's literal garbage and causes billions of dollars worth of damage every year.

>>15247396
The thin dive bezels always get me, but for some reason I can never pull the trigger

Just ordered the GBD-H1000-1

Gonna be hard to justify any other watch purchases for a long time.

>>15247639
I like summer time 2bh. I don't really get all the hate, maybe it's because I'm still young but I feel that boomers way overstate the pain of waking up one hour early once a year. And in exchange you get a more consistent dawn.
>billions of dollars worth of damage

Most people already live on completely fucked sleep schedules because wageslave life is hell, so they try and cram as much fun in as they can manage and eat into their 7 hours a day of sleep.

When you take another hour away from them, these people have more heart attacks, get into more car crashes, spend the day accomplishing nothing with garbage productivity, it's just a complete mess.

The only value of summer time is in tourism and big business garbage because it increases the number of "daylight" hours. In reality, these places could just start opening an hour later during summer, but instead we all have to suffer.

>>15247615
It also has a perpetual calendar, so you only have to set the date once at least until you have the solar battery replaced. You can also change the hours independently in hour increments so you can change the watch for daylight savings time without having to "set" the watch again.

If your sleep schedule is completely fucked, fucking it a bit more won't have a big impact. One would think it would have a bigger effect on those that have a strict sleeping schedule.

The way I see it, if you keep winter time the whole year, in the summer dawn would be before 6 am resulting in most people wasting 2 hours of sunlight while sleeping and if you keep summer time the whole year dawn would be at like 9:30 during the winter and everyone would go to work, children walking to school, etc. in deep darkness. This is from the perspective of someone that lives in Spain, in countries further north this would be even more noticeable.

Look man scientists™ have done studies and made projections that daylight savings time costs huge amounts of money in lost productivity and causes a spike in automobile accidents. You may not think that that sounds "right" to you and believe that you know better that scientists™ doing science™ but you should consider that people have been payed lots of money to look at data and these people might know more than you do since you have probably never even thought about it until anon brought it up 5 minutes ago. That's just how life goes anon, sometimes your personal hot take you came up with in 30 seconds is worth less than dogshit and you will enjoy life more when you come to terms with that.

>>15247768
nobody fucking likes daylight savings time

>>15247768
Not that guy but this has been debated for years, if it's as clear cut as science™ saying it costs billions it would have been gotten rid of years ago. The extra daylight in the morning prevents accidents. I don't feel strongly either way, but you are making it seem more clearcut than it is.

>>15247768
Nice hot take on my so-called hot take. I've had this same discussion many times with different people and it usually ends exactly like this "muh scientists" because they lack critical thinking. And I like how you added that ™, it's as if you know that saying "science™" is a non-argument.
>>15247692 provided valid counterpoints, you added fuck all.

You're right except for the last sentence, people who keep trying to fix shit, especially other people tend to be less happy overall. Just look at all the shrinks and doctors that need shrinks and doctors after years of dealing with fucked up people.

>>15247396
It this ok for a €1700 watch?

Why are sapphires used in watch movement over diamonds? The sapphires are already synthetic, synthetic diamonds are already produced at a huge scale for industry tools, there they are harder and should therefore theoretically provide even lower friction, at least swapping out the jewels in the escapement would probably slightly lengthen the effective power reserve of the movement. Saw an old patek pocket watch from 1914 or so that had a diamond holding the balance wheel, why did they stop doing this?

>>15247797
Fairly sure you quoted the same guy twice in the first paragraph there

>>15247872
I'm pretty sure they use synthetic rubies, the sapphire is used for the watch glass

>>15247877
Sapphire and ruby is the same material, they are both Al2O3, the impurities give color, when a sapphire is red in hue it is just called a ruby. No difference but visual relating to watch movements

>>15247889
Yeah you are right. I keep forgetting that.

>>15247872
Here is the specific pocket watch I'm referring to, more pictures and story on it:
http://ninanet.net/watches/others13/Mediums/mpatekpw.html

Why do you call this a hobby? I never understood this, luxury watches like Rolex (they never even meant for Rolex to be a luxury watch, people were willing to pay out the nose so Rolex accommodated). For those who were meant to own a Rolex it is just part of their lifestyle or "That is just how things are done" and Rolex is all you know. It's not a hobby like going to an art class on weekends to sketch once in a while. Now that is a hobby.

>>15247951
Have you never heard about collecting things? Some people collect post stamps, firearms, sneakers, knives or watches. At the end of the day it's all the same

>>15247951
>X person does this so everyone must do as well

i merely call it an interest

>>15247961
Unless you have a very defined set of rules for a collection (like you have with stamps for example) then you can't really do this with watches. And if you do, then you need billions to get a proper collection, which most people don't do, most people just have a handful of watches at most.

calling watch collecting a "hobby" is just shallow coonsoomerism

theres no creation of items (like painting or knitting)
and theres not much interaction unless you actually take apart and tinker with watches

Having a set of 10 cool casios doesn't cost you billions of $$$.
Collection doesn't imply being worthy of being displayed in a museum.

>>15248013
Yeah ok, so your hobby is collecting napkins from all your local Mickey D's which you have 3 of, so the collection is done, and you're a great big grown up hobbyist now, gotcha.

>>15247994
The commonly accepted definition of hobby does not involve "creation" or " interaction", whatever that means

No one gives a shit if collecting does not fit your personal interpretation of what a hobby is

>>15247545
Fug I want one of these. But something holds me back. I think it's just a combo of little shit like 'tough mvt', the integrated bracelet and the shitty lume

Being 'serious' about hobbies is a pretty modern development. It used to be what you did to pass time when you weren't working or raising a family or otherwise being a respectable man. Now we have more leisure time to get 'serious' about a hobby. That being said, I think there is a fine distinction between collecting and just buying shit as a casual enthusiast. Like anon said, a collection require focus. Could be digital casios or red line subs. I'm definitely more of a casual enthusiast myself - I buy a watch once in a while and I like looking and learning about them but not enough to be a true collector reading old catalogs and maintaining contacts to track down an elusive piece. If you want to see the difference between enthusiast and collector then you should watch a few talking watches. It's easy to see the difference between random celebrity enthusiast #7 and true collector like paramico.

>>15247543
I love nge but this is absolutely fucking cringe. We joke about asuka or rei being best girl but wearing the adoration of a 15 year old for everyone to see is autistic and incel core

They're watches for kids dude calm down.

>>15248083
I wish there were some cooler collaboration watches. Most of them are complete garbage.

>>15248049
Fuck. Must have misplaced my left hand and then drifted to the correct postion.

evangaylion is the most heavily merchandised thing since star wars. at least an eva watch makes sense

>>15248109
Its an alright collectible but if you wear them outside there are two sides of the spectrum, you're either mentally deficient or you're a self proclaimed "soft e-boy"

>>15248122
If you buy them and don't wear them you are a closeted man child.

I think you just mad your watch collects funko pops

>>15248188
A decent coating on titanium will last just as long as a decent coating on steel. Sure, if you're going for dogshit, zero treatment, straight milled out of the factory from china 2 dollar stainless, you're better off with the heavy lump of dogshit.

If you're spending more than 20 dollars though, titanium isn't optional.

>have to buy special adapters just to put a regular strap on a g-shock
why do they do this

>>15248213
Because they want you to make the right move and just buy the chink metal strap instead.

And the lug holes probably snap off if they make the resin any thinner and drop it 10m onto concrete.

>>15247872
Diamonds are used by Sinn

>>15248198
Do you actually own a titanium watch? The casio oceanus is titanium but even when it's a couple hundred they cheap out on the bracelet and don't coat that, making the bracelet a scratch magnet. Post a picture of a titanium watch you own.

>>15247951

These guys made me get more or less serious about collecting watches because of their passion for what they collect; Jason Singer, Roni Madvhani and Matt Jacobson. The way they talk about it and their focus on what and how they collect made me appreciate it much more. Look up their episodes of Talking Watches from Hoedonky. Honorable mention for Howie Kendrick, that guy honestly buys what he likes and is very humble about it.

>>15247690

Breitling is pretty based as a company and I hope they survive into the next few decades. They are making some good moves to continue to stand on their own and stand apart. Their designs look way better than they did up to a few years ago.

Also their inhouse movement b01 and b09 are pretty impressive and probably the best value in chronographs in the up to $8k range.

>>15247688
>I feel that boomers way overstate the pain of waking up one hour early once a year

some day you will know our pain zoomer

do they make a GW-5000-1JF with a negative display?

>>15248192
No I'm just tired of the soiboi meme. Back in my day memes meant something. Now zoomers just sprout the same shit over and over and think it's funny. It's all so tiresome.

>>15248272
no but there are tutorials on how to turn the screen negative if it means that much to you

>>15247951
What about people who write books about watches? They have a very well defined theme and corroborate with other collectors to take the pictures published in the book. Would this match your specific definition of a hobby?

>>15248256
Just watched the Howie Kendrick one and what a great recommendation that was. I love how the whole time he talks about tool watches and then reveals his grail is a datograph. A good reminder not to overthink it too much. I'll check out your other recommendations

>>15248188
>>>Titanium
>>watch looks discolored and scratched up soon
This is why I'll never buy a black titanium G-Shock, shit sucks. You just have to have steel watches with nothing on it for them to look even remotely good after a few months of wearing.

>>15247294

Try out either the meranom Milanese, a nato or a rubber strap and see which one you prefer. They're all relatively cheap so it doesn't hurt to try.

What info could you possibly need, you buy the bezel, take out a couple of screws, and swap them.

>>15248641
Sorry bro I'm still new to watches, just here to learn. Is there a specific manufacturer or brand for the bezel? Where do you buy the bezel?

>>15248397
doesn't have a steel case :/

>>15248650
You get them off aliexpress. There's only one chink factory putting these things out, and the chink middlemen will give you the best price you can get if you're ordering less than 100+ units.

They alrrady spend that much on clothes and sneakers. There are plenty of kids who have access to their patents credit card.
