Woof. (Adds to Seiko list)

Watches are an application where I am pretty certain that steel is superior to carbon.

Did a watch manufacturer really omit the word "time" from their copy?

"We were ready to bring our watch to market some ago but"

48 mm wtf

Not so much a manufacturer.

Fair play to the guy but I can't see these selling

Yup, surely not aero.

Got some 22mm straps for sale

Thanks :-)

Rhetorical obvs.

Ta :oP

I’ll take the green NATO - pm incoming.

Sure, all yours.

Any more pictures of the Longines big eye? Water resistance puts me off a bit

30m is pretty standard with the chronograph watches, isn’t it? It’s not like you accidentally fall into the water on a daily basis. And if you do - I’d be more worried about the phone than the watch.

Plus if its 3bar, its easily good for 5meters and I'd like to see where you'll accidentally fall into water of 5 meters, even going swimming. Even at 10m more so. Approaching 30m?! Nah...

At 30m you are basically dead

Yup.

I think 30m of WR is code for “splashproof” to be honest. I wouldn’t worry about washing your hands wearing it but I wouldn’t go swimming and expect it to hold up.

FYI this is why divers watches > chronographs. [winking emoji]

Or the best of both worlds
