Anyone try the new Arnie?
Anyone try the new Arnie?
I'm still waiting for the bottom to fall-out on price and demand, but wondering if anyone has tried one yet?
I'm still keen for the snj025 when that time comes.
H851 movt. features seem cool: alarm, chrono, back light, battery test meter, dark power save mode, independent digital time zone (very cool). Time setting reminds me of the X33

Re: Anyone try the new Arnie?
What's your wrist size?
Have you ever tried a Tuna-style watch? If not, I think you'd be surprised with the short lug dimensions.
Watch the video. He has a 6.75" wrist and it fits just fine (start at 10:00 and pay attention as he talks fast at 10:06), albeit with a lot of wrist presence, which is a good thing I think for one watch in the collection, especially at the price point. It's just good fun.
I just hope it can be had in the $350-400 range soon.

Tunas actually work pretty well for me. I’d like to actually see one of these in person for sure.sierra11b wrote:What's your wrist size?

They are actually in that range right now...Mimo’s has them for $393 if you use code seik25. Good peeps. He currently only has the Pepsi in stock, though.

VERY tempting but I think I'll have to wait for the black. The PADI is cool but I get concerned about wearing something I don't rate... Which is why I never considered a JLC Navy SEALs even though I love the design.Chocodove wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 5:27 pmTunas actually work pretty well for me.

Although.... (Here we go!)... That 'merica dial would look great on my olongapo bracelet.

Re: Anyone try the new Arnie?
Are these bigger than the Solar Tuna?

Re: Anyone try the new Arnie?
Yes they are. Solar tunas look just about perfect on me while these definitely have more presence, but I like being slightly overwhelmed by the watches I wear.toxicavenger wrote:Are these bigger than the Solar Tuna?

I just can't get past the crowns. Other than that, it looks like it would be a fun grab and go.

I just joined the club. I love how this one wears, not nearly as large as I expected and it just hugs my wrist

Re: Anyone try the new Arnie?
They are not to large in person they look like normal crowns. But the size of them makes them easy to operate. I liked the one I briefly had but I kept my og Arnie instead.

Re: Anyone try the new Arnie?
I own Terry's PADI and agree the crown size makes them manageable.
Lume on this thing is great as expected and lasts forever.
