Why do people buy non solar G-Shock, if they really care about ruggedness?

>>18720942
Don't get a pleb G-Shock, get the Chad S-Shock.

>>18720942
Opening the watch won't fuck up the seal unless you have no idea what you're doing. Gaskets need to be greased/replaced from time to time.

>Longines Ultra-Chron 37mm vs Oris Star 35mm

Which one would you chose and why?

Also which one:
>is the sexiest
>is the most faithful reissue
>has a better finishing

>>18721015
I prefer the look of the oris. The cushion style case speaks to me for some reason. I think the Longines is more interesting from an engineering perspective though. I was not alive when these first came out, nor have I handled either in person so I am not qualified to answer your last two questions

>>18721015
I personally hate that style case on the Oris, immediately makes me think of fat old boomer arms groping at the fat wife before he grabs her wrist and puts her hand on his tiny dick and forces her to give him a super mediocre and reluctant handjob. the longines is crisp and youthful, but still classic and modern at the same time

>>18721023
yeah, the shape of the Oris is more original, the shape of the Longines is more NPC.

>>18721042
The original Oris is from 1965 or something. If anything, it was the silent gen who whore those.

There's no way a Boomer wears 1960s style watches. They wear Apple watches or 80s/90s bling.

>>18721042
Who i imagine wearing the Oris is Henry Fonda in On a Golden Pond, in his cabin on a lake.
That's the vibe i get.

>>18721052
I appreciate horologists like yourself and admittedly know relatively nothing about it beyond the basics, but all I can speak for is my thoughts and feelings. that style case just gives me the ick. in my decades of looking in peoples watch boxes my brain would gloss over that style, just makes me think of rusty watch movements and garages with broken down muscle cars and shitty beer and stained white t shirts over boomer guts and television sets permanently blasting mainstream news with the volume at full blast

I mean, objectively, doesn't it look heavy as shit? like the watch weighs more than a small car

>>18721061
For me, that's this one

Hello, Saar

>>18721066
Hello, Saar

>>18721061
I don't even know what you're talking about.
It's a new reissue, no rusty movement, and it's 35mm/11mm thick, so why should it be heavy?
You have the right to not like c-type shaped watches, but your arguments make zero sense, kek.

>>18721062
yeah, I mean, you're not wrong. pretty gross. also I'm officially over date bubbles, such an eyesore. ruined the Rolex palm oyster for me which was my dream sleezecore summer piece

This is all you need in life.

i’ve been posting nothing but breitling, bc they’re prettier, but here are some old Omega chronographs

>>18721077
i am a huge fan of the apple watch and wearables in general. i think they’re the superior choice for everyday wear. but for occasions where you don’t want to be plugged in, i think a traditional watch is great.
who wants their smart watch buzzing at them or why do you need health data on your wedding day? on your week’s vacation? when you go out to the theatre? etc

The watch that give me the ICK, personally is the Submariner and all the clones, including the Kermit, the Batman, the Batgirl, the Pepsi, the Longines Hydroconquest (...). The Tudor Black Bay may get a pass because they lose the shiny ceramic, so it's a little less obnoxious and more tool watch.

This is the watch of douchebags, scammers, indians trying to look rich.
It's a huge redflag if someone is wearing it.

>>18721080
this looks like shit and was improperly stored for decades. Never understood why anyone would want to own one of these duds.
>muh patina
again, It looks like shit. Not even a tropical patina just stored like shit by a retard.

File: IMG_0990.jpg (100 KB, 1124x566)

that being said wearables also scare me from a big brother type of conspiracy kind of perspective. swapping one for your phone i think is great too so you don’t get sucked into scrolling sort of instinctively as we all find ourselves doing while still being connected and having your essentials like GPS, payment method, call/text etc

>>18721091
not everyone appreciates that sort of aging of objects you just can’t fake. i like it from architecture to cars to antiques of all kinds.

File: IMG_0991.jpg (88 KB, 1280x1280)

old chronographs are just pure sexo
Breitling i think has the nicest ones from the period i find especially alluring

>>18721097
I can understand some patinas. it’s just that one was stored on its crown for years and that’s why all the patina is on the left side of the dial. It’s just shoddy to me, an evenly aquired tropical patina can look good though, you know it saw years of love and usage

>>18720762 (OP)
Are Skmei watches any good? They have a lot of Casio clones but some of them are rated for actual water resistance for a few 10s of meters, while the Casio ones are only splashwater proof.

>why do you need health data on your wedding day? on your week’s vacation? when you go out to the theatre?
why do you need any of this ever? just eat clean and work out every day. what a bunch of useless "data"

>>18721149
it has the potential to dramatically increase quality of life. big data along with accurate readings can give you information about your health before it becomes otherwise apparent. for instance toward the end of the incubation period of an infection you may run a small fever and a slightly different heart rate or other biometrics might be a tad different. getting this information before displaying symptoms could lead to shorter and better outcomes from a cold.

>>18721155
i’m not saying you’d personally interpret the data, but what if you got a notification you might be showing early signs of an infection? maybe take an immuno booster, maybe don’t go out drinking that night, maybe an early night to bed, maybe tell your wife to do the same etc etc this is just one example too, and wearables are at their infancy for measuring biometrics

unironically a sci-fi tier bracelet. i consider it to be one of the more impressive developments in watchmaking in the last 10 years.

i hope the chinese are able to reproduce soon so i can purchase it for a fraction of the price.
