Re: Accuracy Contest

+40s/day is FINE. [emoji15]🫣 Grand Seiko spring drive enters the chat. “Hey, can I play?” Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I stink someone said “no quartz”… but, nice try. I agree, it's not fair to include spring drives...but it is a mechanical movement, not a quartz movement. There is an additiona...

Re: Roadhouse 2.0

Hollywood is so completely out of ideas...

I did go and see Godzilla -Minus One. Fantastic movie :-)

It's insane that it was made for only 11 million.

Re: Interesting read

Seiko does saturation dive watches without HRV's. Maybe some other watch companies need to ask them how to engineer better :think: I have had endless back and forth with people defending HRV's and partially indexed dive bezels. They seem to assume that because Rolex does something then that is the l...

Re: Apple made a dive watch?

Be interesting to see how it plays out. An appeal doesn't change the finding they stole the tech...seems that Apple will still have a problem.

Re: Apple made a dive watch?

I see that the Apple Ultra might not be available soon. Apple stole the blood-oxygen sensor tech from another company and lost the case in court when they were sued. Ultra's will no longer be legal to import into the US. https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2023/12/27/apple-watch-ban-lifted/720...

Re: New Damasko DSub10

That is perfect. The sword hands are my preference also. I have a DA46 and it is still pristine 5 yrs later.

Those Hirsch straps are great for daily wear but a little short as a dive strap...will only just manage a 5mm wetsuit.

Re: Apple made a dive watch?

Seen a couple of reports of the Apple Ultra bricking after dives. No indication of leaks...but stopped functioning and are unrecoverable.

Some thoughts that it might be a problem with Oceanic's software...but seems that's not been a consistent factor. FYI

Yeah not for me. But for the average person, probably.
Yes. For the general public absolutely, for me it's over-priced, over-hyped and over copied :shrug:

Re: men wearing women's watches, the next trend • WSJ

People wearing watches under 40mm isn't exactly a new thing.

Yup, I'm saying under 40mm is a woman's watch.
