Whenever I want (relatively) accurate time keeping I use my G-Shock. It performs better than the rated +-10 seconds per month.
But it's a different fish from mechanical aint it? Hehe.

interestingly Casio makes all < US$300 watches in china.
quartz watches perform so darn well, my 15yr old Tag I can't even notice how bad it is running. my guess maybe similar to what u're getting.

I think those radio control ones are better. anyone own one?

I think this is an interesting piece. mechanical and still has a rotating center dial to synchronize this watch with radio time signals that can be detected in different places.

Not all of Casio's sub usd300 watch are made in China. Yes a lot are cased there but the parts come from different Casio factories around Asia.
Almost all the current g-shocks I have seen are made in Thailand. In the past some were even made in Shah Alam!

I wished I can buy an atomic G-shock in Malaysia (they can only be purchased from overseas dealers). But then again, with the nearest radio signal coming in from China, how well will the synch work through all the mountainous lands?

talk about massive clutter on that longines.

Hi there guys, I have RM 1000 to spend on a watch, eyed a lot of watches to date, in the end decided to get something with a white dial(black dial is second choice) and leather straps. Looking for unique brands with good value. On my mind at the moment are Tissot Visodate, Luminox Field Date, Timex Compass and Victorinox Infantry. Preferable case size 40mm +. Any other watches I should consider ? thanks for the help

- account creation 8.50 *paid by paypal
- then your account will have a limit of spending $75
- either you upgrade your acc with more $$, or upload documents *ie Form duno wat 1569 need to sign infront of public notary etc bla bla just to get your limit raised 60%... the watch price is $301 !!!

Or
- you may add credit to your shipito acc, option displayed credit card / paypal / wire transfer
- tried using paypal but return message was *sorry service is unavailable, kindly use wire transfer

WHICH

they charge $16 + 4.3% on total money transfered

shipment $35

they charge a 4.3% + 8% on your total purchase amount as well...

honestly i lost count here... but when i clicked the total.. it sum up to USD $429 ........

& i did cancel the order.. $424 was refunded & they charge USD $5 on admin fee... duuh

U're right again. I am sorry, was not thinking straight. I meant outside Japan.

don't own a radio watch, no idea how well it work. what is the delay like etc.

Do you want the watch to look fancy fancy or the watch to just tell you exactly what time it is?

that's quite affordable tho. comparing to Tag, wud u guys prefer B&R?
just check, do u guys think getting a watch at KLIA wud be cheaper than getting it in town?

which Tag and which B&R?
Tag mod ETA movement, in some case mod Seiko movement in few cases inhouse.
B&R just regular ETA movement unless U talking about their Tourbillion, not even sure they make the case inhouse like Anonimo.

Congrats patryn and what a sweet looking movement. Need more close up pictures

m comparing these 2 brands in general as i am not quite familiar with watches.

btw, ETA bla bla bla sounds like greek to me

how to compare?
Tag spend more $$ on marketing than B&R.
Tag design very different from B&R.
they target very different group of ppl.
both share weak resale value.

its feel like asking Samsonite vs Coach which brand is better.
or nike vs Aldo which is better
