Watches

[prof]

I don't like this watch at all. First of all, it's a quartz. I bought it at Macys or JC Penny a few years back because I thought it would pair well with a black or grey suit and blue shirt. And it does. But I assumed it was a mechanical, not a quartz. It's only a few years old, and the battery is already nearly dead. It stopped and restarted by itself this morning.

Also, it's uncomfortable, and has no micro-adjustments. So you have to remove links, and it's either super tight or a bit sloppy. Fossil is the worst. Haha
Whatever, I mean, it was fairly cheap if I recall, under 200 or so, but still, the quality is shit. But damned if it doesn't look good with this suit and shirt, and that was the whole point anyway.

You bought a quartz watch thinking it was a mechanical?

Ha! Pretty much. It was in a box, and I guess I just assumed. The clerk wasn't much help if I recall. I just needed one that day because I was out of town, and I wanted to get one that matched with my suit. Oh, well. I only wear it a handful of times a year. At least it looks nice.

If you're going to buy a quartz watch, get a good one.

What about my Casio?

 

[HellioN]

Worl tyme!
Casio might be my favorite quartz maker.

I love quartz and solar. People shouldn't sleep on them.

That being said, I'd probably skip Fossil quartz. With Citizen, Casio, Seiko (and Grand Seiko), and not to mention the Swiss stuff, why even mess with Fossil?

 

[prof]

Sage words indeed, roker. And to others with even a passing curiousity of the brand, consider my Fossil post a cautionary tale. Like a scary campfire story at bedtime amongst a group of watch guys. Shit battery life, clunky feel, and no micro-adjustments. The horror. You'd be better off fashioning a sun dial out of a piece of driftwood.

Got myself a little nice JDM Seiko model in Kyoto last month

I know it's nothing special but this was my Dad's watch. He wore this everyday, even when he was in the hospital. He rejected automatics only wore quartz. This was his favorite brand and favorite watch. R.I.P

When did he pass? Hope you're doing all right bro

Love that one in particular. I might get one for myself as well.

@roker tell the truth...you have some kind of arm hair kink and this is a genius way for you to get your fix...

Is that just the SSC813 but JDM? The white in it almost looks silver.

 

[Yamazaki]

this one is more silver-platin colored - the 813 is more pure white if I am not mistaken

makes sense

still a nice looking timepiece

Yes, more hate.

Took the NATO off the a168 and replaced it with this brushed metal bracelet. It works well with it and more true to the original without the hair pinching shit bracelet of the original design. I wish Casio would make a premium version of this watch, but until then I'll roll with it like this.
