How do avoid falling into the Casio rabbit hole?

Since there are so many different styles, with tons of old models and there are always new models coming out I'm worried I will have like a whole box of these. They are inexpensive but it can quickly add up and I don't like having a lot of stuff.

I have the 41 in black, I love it. It is all up to personal preference though. I enjoy all of the design choices of the AT personally.
I like the polished center links, unlike most people. I also prefer the smaller profile of a butterfly clasp, you get to see more links rather than a large slab of metal for the clasp. Of course if you prefer a strap, this point is irrelevant.
I also prefer the independent hour hand movement of the 8900, note that the 38mm has the 8800 with the quick set date instead. Both movements are great though.
I also like the dial symmetry with the date at 6, and no magnification on the crystal. Open case back is also a plus for me.

Is there anything in particular you are concerned about?

>>17740972
I do agree that the pricing is not right compared to the others in the line. But if you prefer the AT design over the others, then it is worth it. At least it was to me.

Nah. How about just "watch"?
After all, everything else is but a sub group of this original category.
>sports watch
>diver's watch
>racing watch
>field watch
the these descriptors only serve to differentiate those specialised tools from the original thing, just a watch worn by the ordinary non soldier, non diver, non whatever man.
>dress watch
has always annoyed me.
People in the past never called them dress watches.
They were just "watch".
The sports watch mania only exists because actual baby boomers went through midlife crises by the 1990's and wanted to evoke the vigour of youth by wearing a totem that they thought imbued their aged bones and sagging, sun damaged skin with some kind of borrowed strength. The trend carried over and is now waning, or at least the market has finally so diverged from this demographic that finally people are not defaulting to a steel "diver's style" watch.

I'm calling it a watch, because that's what it is.

This is maybe going to be my next watch though I don’t know if I want steel or titanium.

The only reason for their retardation that makes sense is likely to do with swatch's usual source of retardation in regards to hamstringing brands they own: enforced market segmentation.
They don't want to do the sensible because it eats into something else in their portfolio of brands somehow. I don't know what it is, but I'm sure that's the reason some besuited cunt in swatchgroup's upper management uses to enforce shit decisions.

I don't believe Richemont nor LVMH are as bad as Swatch in this regard. I can't think off the top of my head an instance where it was obvious that a Richemont name was being curtailed in favor of one of the other names.

He has zero taste, but having something a little different is still miles better than NPC shit. If I saw a dude with a green speedy I'd think he was a little slow, if I saw a dude with a regular speedy I instantly go "ah, this person is devoid of anything even approaching value and I need to find a way out of this conversation as soon as possible". A green speedy retard might talk absolute gibberish about how the sky tastes particularly blue today, but there's an infinitesimal chance that he might say something vaguely entertaining.

You bought complete shit apart from the Tag which is an okay entry into watch collecting. It's the type of piece that you buy in your first year or two of your job, you have a grand or something to spend and you can get this, it's totally fine. Keep it because it was your first watch. Firesell the fucking remainder of your "collection". Holy crap it's crap. Like trash can tier crap.

There's an important point you forgot. This guy bought absolute trash (apart the Tag), random generic piece of shit cheap watches, while Archie USED TO preach that you shouldn't even buy a Seamaster because it's using an ETA base caliber (though sane people know the Omega calibers since the 90s are modified and assembled by Omega themselves). This is where he was wrong and he even admitted that. Now that doesn't mean you should be buying Tissot and pretending it's great, that's still trash. What it means is, while you shouldn't have a collection of only ETA shitters, it's totally fine to own a few if the watch is remarkable in other ways. For example, a Seamaster is a very respected model by the #2 watch brand in the world. People like it for the Bond tie in alone, so nobody gives a fuck what movement it's got. Same for most IWCs, which people buy just to have the IWC fit and finish and minimalist design, also true for Breitling, who a few years ago for the FIRST TIME in their history started making an in house movement. Breitling has NEVER been a movement maker, but a watch maker, and yet they are super respected in the watch world - even Rolex respects them. That's why it's also fine to own a Navitimer without the in house movement, or a Superocean with the ETA, and so on.

Archie himself even owned the Valjoux Navitimer and still misses it, he knows the value of that piece and it ain't in the fucking movement. Now again, you should also, when you can afford it, buy serious pieces with in house movements, but it's not like your entire collection must consist of them. Buy a Rolex, eventually. Get a Speedy or some other Lemania based watch. If you can, go for a JLC or VC. Get whatever floats your boat, but buy ICONIC watches from reputable makers, and don't worry about the stupid fucking movement because it doesn't affect market prices, it only affects whether you like it or not maybe.

I respect your take but I disagree with it. The Speedy steel is universally loved by watch people for reasons other than it's popular and you know that. Now yes there will be many NPCs who just buy it because it's cool or whatever, but you figure that out when you ask them whether they got the Sapphire or Hesalite version already.

"Watch people". Look at yourself, man. People "like" the speedy because it's popular. There's nothing else to it. Oh, it went to the hecking moon? Whoa, it's "rated" for the extremes of space? The Speedy is the Redditor's Rolex.

You guys fail to realize this JLC is designed to pander to the asian and arab markets (ie Singapour, Dubai, etc). JLC has opened several shops in these countries and these "people" don't buy low-key Reverso. They love these huge gold Patek cluttered with a ton of complications you guys (rightfully) make fun of in these threads. JLC is just following trends and honestly that's kind of sad to see.

Wrong.

That's the NPC take, and you're confirmed an NPC who doesn't know shit about watches.

The Sneedy uses a Patek-grade manual wound movement but is sold for the price of a hot dog in watch terms. It's also the only watch you can buy brand-new that has the same idiosyncrasies as the original 60s model - the crystal distortion, bent dial and hands (depending on model), manual wind being a pain in the ass, and so on. It's a watch for watch people and you just don't get it.

Well you have to strike a good balance beteen business and art to exist as a watchmaker. Sometimes some brands stray too far in one direction for some time. As long as they're here making stuff we can salivate over it's fine i guess.

It's a cultural thing.
Ressources are scarce in the Arab world. And because of islam, pussy is even scarcer for the average guy.
By showing off you can afford a gold watch, you're basically advertising you can feed one or several women (islam allows polygamy) and children.

Why is it so hard for you to understand that the contrast between the elegance of the dial and the general shape and weight of the watch compared to the few "brutalist" elements in it actually amerliorate the whole jewel to a work of art?

It truly is a the first wristwatch ever made, adapted for the contemporary elements of industrial society

I like this watch... is this considered a "sports watch"?

Also, what are good alternatives being at least 100m wr, 38-40mm, no date, no diving bezel, metal bracelet...

Obviosly some Grand Seikos, Tudor BB and Rolex OP, Explorer etc come to mind. What else?

Pretty much every brands makes a 3 hands sports watch nowadays. If you can, get a Rolex. If you can't, maybe Cartier Santos because it's different enough not to appear as an obvious cope.

Let's see. Well, a ceramic bezel costs about 10 dollars. A sapphire crystal? Well, again, about 10 dollars. These are end user prices, Tissot is likely paying about 1-2 dollars per item. So I guess the question is if you want to pay 1980 dollars for ISO certification, which is a fairly meaningless metric if you're not planning on taking your jewellery to 600m.

None of these things are issues for anyone who isn't retarded. You could buy 10 200 dollar watches and just swap them out when they get crusted up with garbage every few years, or you could take off your watch before you try and unclog your drains.

I wear my watch 24/7, my ISO certified Seiko SKX779 lasted me from 2014 to 2019, only started running like 15 mins slow per month the 5th year of ownership before I sold it, never serviced it.

My Longines HydroConquest which isn't ISO certified that I got in 2019 I had to sell this year because it randomly just stopped overnight and whenever I'd reset the time it would run slow for a few hours and then stop again. Wasn't magnetised (had Longines de-mag, they said it either needed a service or repair). Thankfully sold it for $1600 as the buyer wasn't aware of the issue (it appears to work for a few hours).

In my limited experience, non-ISO divers don't hold up to 24/7 wear when you're weightlifting, swimming, showering and using the sauna with your watch
