So, here's something a little different. An "unboxing" series of photos. The most disappointing #wristwatch I have had the displeasure to unbox. Story in the photo captions.

I really just thought I was getting something a little fun and offbeat for $20. But, I've got $10 Skmei watches are better than this abomination.

The well-known Addiesdive  AD2037 #chronograph with the orange / black panda dial and VK64 movement. Hard to fault this #watch for $90. Okay, so it has a domed mineral crystal, but for this price: 316L stainless steel, nicely finished case, 100M water resistance -- it's still hard to beat. (Please don't mind my dry skin in the photo.)

So, I know these #watches were panned when they were released.  I think too many people thought that it was #Bulova trying to cash in on the #Moonswatch. But, I didn't see it that way, I thought the idea of doing ocean themed #divewatches made a lot of sense.  Even the idea of doing them in ceramic with rubber straps that incorporate recycled garbage that's been pulled out of the ocean made a lot of sense.

The thing that didn't make a lot of sense was the pricing. They were priced as if they were Moonswatches, which they weren't.  Now, if they had a Precisionist movement, then the pricing would have made sense -- at that point it would have been a bargain.

However, a year later, and things have changed.  Bulova has dramatically lowered the prices of these watches, making them much more in line with what they should have been in the first place.  So, I picked up the Blue Whale #Snorkel watch to see if I liked it.  And, yeah, it was very nice, so I used some discounts I had available and purchased the Sea Turtle and Seagull watches.

To me, these are really great casual, weekend wear watches.

Pagani Design has been good to me overall. I can't say that I've been disappointed with any of their watches so far, and this is no exception.  What you can't see is the wooden grain of this watch face. Yes, the lume sucks on this watch, but that's not what it's about. It's a simple daily wear dress watch -- just a little more dressy in gold and black than your standard watch.

Not exactly a #wristcheck since I suck at them...but this is the #watch on my #wrist today. The #citizen AW1361-10H was one of the first #watches I purchased when I was trying to find my preferences. I bought this to see if the #EcoDrive #solar tech was good. It became one of my favorites (alongside the #casioroyale), and set my preference for #quartz movements with solar charging. One issue: the seconds hand is difficult to see. #watchesofmastodon #watchesofpixelfed

I was thinking that I needed a #watch for formal wear. I wanted Bulova's "My Way" from the Frank Sinatra series, but it wasn't available. So I went with #Seiko SWR049 instead. I'm wondering if it'd look better on a Milanese band instead. #wristwatches #watches #wristshot #watchesofmastodon #watchesofpixelfed
