What time is it? Watches and horology

in so much a dive bezel is a gimmick on a dive watch that never sees the depths.

Egg timer. V useful. 😎

Agreed...

I wish that someone would come out with a 10 minute chrono. lol

Speedy Tuesday, can’t believe I haven’t tried this on an MN before.

I meant more is it accurate? I’ve read conflicting reviews that the compass is pretty good to complete junk

Speedy Tuesday for me too.
Switched the clasp on the Forstner flat link to an Omega one which helps the fit on my skinny wrists.

it's not an actual compass as such (if that's what you mean) - just an internal rotating bezel - you find north (as you can with any three hand watch and the sun) and then use the bezel to set a bearing. Is it a gimmick? I would say no more than a tachymeter or dive bezel for the vast majority of folk (with apologies to those who regularly use a chronograph to calculate average speed over a flat mile course...).

Snap - looking really good with that clasp.

Ok thanks that’s made me reassess tbh, think I might prefer the non rotating bezel version

Really good

👍

naff colours but 30% off Wolf stackable watch trays with code 'SUMMER30'

I like the Wolf stackable boxes. Would have gotten one of the lower trays for my, erm, burgeoning G-Shock collection but they’re out of them as separates.

G-Shock Thursday and NWD. Couldn’t resist the all black version. Retro techno vibes.

Yes! So good! There's absolutely no way to change the date format, right? I'm not just being a div...

Not on these as far as I can tell, it's fixed to MM/DD.

GST.. Bought ten years ago. Complete reliability. I wonder how long the battery will last.

joke?

Looks solar too me...

There is still a battery! The solar panel charges the battery.

Just checked.. That 5610 cost me £41!

Ah! Yes, good point. There is still a battery. You are right. I thought you were making a joke.

The GW-M5610 is arguably the best watch in the world. True classic.
