I have heard people having issues with the sapphire version (not suggesting it has anything to do with the actual material, that seem absurd, just that model i guess). Might want to verify it works before the return period expires.

New Hamilton Swiss Automatic - great bang for the buck, even with an ETA 2824 movement. Much less expensive than other Swiss watches with the same movement, and offers a vintage look that reminds me of my previous 50 year old Rolex or a vintage Omega.

Finally got a few minutes to set up my Pebble. Very pleased with build quality, feel and function so far. I'll need some more time with it to really get a feel for it, but I like the simplicity of it. Today's Samsung Gear announcement only reinforces my desire for a pared down accessory like this.

Pebble looks nicer than the Kreyos, which has a benefit of being a BT speaker phone.  I considered the Martian watch too, but the Kreyos I can clip to clothing like a 6th gen Nano.  I'm hoping Apple will make a decent BT smart watch, since the Samsung is ridiculous.

 

My Citizen Proximity BT watch is pretty much useless.  Yeah, I get alerted for a call, and alarm, or an email, but then I have to dig the phone out of my pocket to anything else.  It doesn't do anything with SMS at all.  It's only useful for BT because many times I can't feel the silenced phone vibrate in my cargo pants pocket, but I can feel the watch vibrate.  At least it's a decent looking watch.

Finally got my Suunto back and since I am using it as a everyday watch I am glad I went with the Sapphire with the stainless bezel. I am hard on watches. I have already touched up the bezel with Scotch Brite.

What is everyone's opinion of the various Ball Official Standards line of watches. Welcome to BALL Watch

I actually like the looks of some and they look nothing like all the other ones I have picked up recently. Don't know much about the company though.

 

 

There are lots of elements of the Ball watches that I like but I'm hard pressed to find any one that I really love outside of the Night Train.

 

 

I dig the Cleveland Express, except for crest at the other end of the second hand. It reminds me of a sandwich skewer.

 

I bit the bullet on on a Ball (yup, couldn't avoid that one) today. I'll post pics in a couple days when it gets here.
