  1. 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.

  5. 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.)

  9. 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.

  13. 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.

  17. #Casio #Edifice EFA-113

    Sehr schönes #Zifferblatt, aber wenn man die #Minuten ablesen will ist man vielleicht mit einem Blick auf das #Smartphone besser bedient.
    Das alte Armband war kaputt, deshalb durch ein Klettband ersetzt.

  18. I finally found a solution to one of those problems that I know so many of you can relate to.

    You know when you are commuting on your Halfbike™ to the office on a chilly spring day, and you look down to your wrist to check the time but can't read it because your sleeve covers your watch?

    Well friends, I have the answer for you…

  19. RE: indieweb.social/@tg/1162393882

    This post from @tg resonated with me profoundly particularly after my experience setting up a Pixel last week. That took hours and left me depleted and scornful instead of joyful & excited about a new device.

    It's a beautiful post on a gorgeous blog too from the dev of Current RSS for iOS. (I sure hope Current comes out for Android one day.)

  23. I have bought my first cheap Chinese watch. A sugess chronograph with moonphase and date complications. One of the least expensive watches in my collection, yet one of the most satisfying. Watching the sea-gull ST-19 work has an aura of magic.

  24. CORRECTION: it's from 1990, not 1991.

    @ichichich I recently brought my 1991 Swatch Gent Broadcast 📻 back into rotation with a new strap and battery. Great memories!

    (I admit that it could use a little Polywatch polishing. But the wristwatch still works and the scratches add character.)
