Watcha wearing?

Just put this new bracelet on my Luminox, really like the feel and look better than the rubber or velcro straps I’ve had. I had a NATO strap too. But this was worth the spend.

 

Yeah, that was a month ago, and I still have the scabbed welts healing on my forearms where I had my sleeves cuffed.

 

I may be qualified for this one! Hands less dark since I wear gloves mountain biking though so you dont get the full effect.

 

new watch day! Couldn’t find any of these locally so had to order online without trying it on. We’ll see. Definitely larger than my old seiko and not sure if the lume will be bright enough. Also it’s my first watch with a screw down crown. Took me a min to remember.

I have the gray version coming tomorrow to see which one fits my fancy.

 

Thought you'd never ask! This is about as bad(good) as it's ever been. You can even see the gaps in the rubber strap on my Garmin lol.

 

Had a break in the weather here in NC so I let the 261 run for the afternoon

 

nice watch, and saw. and using the watch instead of leaving it in a safe worrying about it getting scratched.

 

I motion that this guy wins the watch tan contest. Strap hole tans are next level!

 

Finally got the AliExpress watch band in for my $2 Medana. Think a cheaper version of a cheap Casio band. Cleaned the face up some with poly watch. Just adds to my cheap and cheerful watch collection.

 

That’s a sweet watch tree! I’m going to have to look into that. Mine are all just thrown in a drawer right now.

 

Thanks! Something I made with spare wood I had sitting around. The base came from a leftover piece of live edge I made a coffee table from.

 

I Have a Seiko quartz watch my parents got me in 1993 as a High school graduation gift I have not worn in years. The Battery is long dead. My other real analog watch is a stainless steel Fossil watch with a burgundy red face. I got that one at the Fossil store on Stockton Street in San Fransisco on a trip there in 2006. I've had it sent in and rebuilt once. it needs a new battery now too.

The watches I been wearing the last few years have been smart/fitness watches. I wore Fitbit for a while. I traded up to a Samsung Galaxy watch 6 classic in all black a 2 years ago. Recently traded it in for this Watch 8 Classic. I have been using the Pioneer watch face in the pic since i got it two weeks ago. I was previously stuck on a face called "stretched time" that is also an analog face.

 

that's a cool piece!

 

I don't have a pic but I recently got a black leather band for my recently purchased Bulova Jet Star. It does indeed, turn it into a dress watch in my opinion. The problem is that I never dress up for anything and not sure what wedding or funeral will make me again. It's nice that the bands are quick attach. I went back to the stainless bracelet that has too many polished surfaces lol

 

Lumtech, B55 Combat. Small watch maker out of Ohio known for high quality lumen. Titanium nitride finished surgical steel. Double dome sapphire crystal. Blue lumen. Hawk rigger NATO style army green strap.
not a jewelry guy. Wanted something with a big, easy to read face tough and functional. I work early mornings so being able to read it in the dark was important to me. The lumen lasts for ten hours or so. Impressive.

 

Cheap Walmart brand. The way I go through watches its no point trying to have anything nice. They don't last any longer than the cheapies do. I do a lot of mechanical work and they are always getting snagged or smushed.
