sometimes also dunno the chrono use for wat

I test test the chrono nia, the whole screw cap Rosa   

Beep beep New watch alert soon!

Thanks. Some good point there.

Had a chance to try out last night, leaning towards the Speedy, but will have a few sleeps to think about it.

Dislike the ceramic seamaster. The wave dial makes it too busy.

how do you guys normally wear your watches? the ones i got on the bracelet are comfortable, but as i walk to work and start sweating, they slide down to the bone...there are days i feel that bracelet straps are not suitable for our weather hahaha.....geng pls feel free to input sikit, tq geng

Just bought a Swatch Sistem51 yesterday. So far it's keeping good time +/- 1s checked at various times. Would you wear a cheap plastic Swiss automatic? Considering Seiko 5 is significantly cheaper.

Thanks for the recommendation!
I go for msbespoke as no reply from mfstraps. Good service but yet to receive the strap. Looking forward for it

I went to 1U Swatch today n they charge me rm20 each. Is this new?

It was a swatch shop. Receipt says batt free but charge me 40 bucks for labour charge? Was I cheated?

Omega increasing its price by 7% form Feb 2023, oh well

GS has a dizzying array of watches and their website makes it hard to navigate. Maybe it’s just me.

And it’s just model numbers instead of proper names? I feel the way the Swiss categorize watches makes more sense.

Talking about Cartier, hope can get this in 2023

Yeah I want to the GS in sunway. Can get 10-15% off. But there is no stock for the SBGY007 Omiwatari - apparently wait times are 2-3 months with a 30% deposit required. Hard to believe it's come to the state where even GS needs wait times. Got a little fed up as I was told previously by them that I could get it in 1-2 weeks' time.

This kind of swayed me a bit to look at the Cartier Santos medium or large automatic. I see it's in stock on the website. Does anyone know if Cartier offers any discount in store? Thanks.

Well he did say “right now….”

After he get endgame watch, then will have another endgame watch. Like MCU, got parallel universe. Never ending.

I was eyeing GS with that pink flake dial, but rocking it with t-shirt and jeans feels very out of place for me. Then Cartier Tank Must came to mind, can’t seem to shake it.

But now everyday also rocking SMPc300 diver with folding clasp on rubber. First time wearing watch on rubber (excluding G-shock) and homaigod it’s so good. If I knew it was *this* good I won’t bother buying the watch with bracelet.

Rollie is so... meh

It's the "never wrong choice", which makes it so ubiquitous. Lack of..character. As much as I feel my vintage DJ with its acrylic crystal and tapestry dial is full of character, end of the day it is just another DJ.

If anything, Cartiers are more uncommon. Ballon Bleu would be quite nice for a lady. Classy. An acquaintance have one on a red leather strap. Looks classy and sophisticated on her. And she was beautiful so that helped a lot.

Funny you mentioned Cartier… I showed my wife Cartier Dumont medium one time, she said it was nice but if she had the chance she’d preferred the DJ with the fluted bezel for some reason, maybe even an OP silver dial

where is the best place to purchase Tudor? Swiss Connection seems like offering lower than retail price, not sure about AD offering any discount?

Curious question for everyone here: Has anybody moved away from smartwatches and gone back to mechanical watches? Why did you do it and how was your experience like with that transition? Are you still tracking your fitness and how?
I've bought my first mechanical watch, a Montblanc Timewalker Chronograph UTC, when I hit a life milestone back in 2014 or so. Loved it to bits. And then I got bit by the Apple Watch bug. I bought Gen 2, and then upgraded to Gen 4 and have been using that ever since, while my mechanical watch just sat in its box untouched.

Now I feel like I'm just tired with the Apple Watch. Realized I don't use much of the smart features except for fitness tracking when I'm working out. And I'm kinda tired staying hyperconnected with all the notifications etc. I have my phone for that and I seriously need to reduce the "digital noise" around me. Maybe it's also because I'm in IT and I'm a huuge tech nerd who's constantly dealing with tech, and now I really feel a need to draw a line somewhere. I suddenly feel "too much tech" is a thing now. Or maybe it's just me aging LOL.

So, for the past 2 weeks, I did an experiment. I took out my old mechanical from its box, wound it up and wore it around daily to see whether I can get used to it again. Now I'm back in love. Things are waaaaay more peaceful, I don't feel a need to be super reactive to digital noise, and the feeling that there's something alive on my wrist ticking away is really something that a smartwatch cannot replace. I loved it so much so that I'm now looking to add one more mechanical soon.

As for the Apple Watch, I'm still using it when I'm working out and when I'm sleeping (for sleep tracking). Although I'm thinking of getting something that is less obtrusive for fitness tracking, so that I can wear together with my mechanical without looking weird 

So back to my question above - wondering if anybody has had any similar experiences. Aaand if you have any suggestions for "minimalist"/less obtrusive fitness tracking alternatives too
