Watches

I picked this up today. Not mine to keep yet but feels light and looks awesome. I am looking forward to playing with it once I am under 190.

That is absurdly large.

For a gps watch it's not. Also my wrist isn't that big.

Mine is certainly not my biggest watch.

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.

Maybe this is one of the threads?

Cool. It doesn't look like it's a real issue on the PC looking through the thread. I will see how it goes in a few weeks.

Sync failing pb fixed with the latest update (Moveslink for Mac updated to v1.1.37 and Ambit 2 updated to firmware 1.5.14) yeeheee!! Syncing is much faster too!

Syncing does still take a long time.

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.

I got a Pebble today too.

[Dusty Chalk]

Wait, that's hers, what'd she get you?  (Can't see past the shiny.)

[spritzer]

Now that's a watch!! 

[Voltron]

Magnifique!

[n_maher]

Oh mama!

[Dreadhead]

Cool stretch.

Put on my Suunto today and realized that they shipped it to me with a scuff on the rubber band. I have emailed them but if they don't come through my shop says that they will fix it.

[HeadphoneAddict]

Nice watch.  My wish list includes a Patek Philippe Nautilus.

[Dreadhead]

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.

Wow! The entire collection looks beautiful.
