What time is it? Watches and horology

Sensational.

I’m backpacking at the moment and I know it’s an exercise watch but I’m very pleased with this having now put it through its paces. I’ve used it for two days straight, recording and navigating a course the entire time (17 hours of actual recording and navigating) and it has 34% battery remaining. And it charges very quickly too, so a quick blast with my battery pack should tide me over for tomorrow too.

Woah. Actual Prestige Diver Submersion.

Brave man.

Are 'stepped' alarms on digital watches possible? I'd like to be able to go running without headphones or my phone, but I'd also like to be able to programme an alarm for 5 min warm up walk, 30 min run with a halfway alarm, and then a 5 min cool-down run.

I know how to do it on Garmin. - does that help?

Heh, not really but thanks for your response - I'm trying to avoid 'smart' watches...

going running without a smart watch or phone?!?!

you know if it's not on Strava it doesn't count right?

Get a Casio? https://menga.net/casio-watches-under-20

New AnOrdain Model 1 sizing is up on their website... 35 / 38 / 41. The 41 sounds like a whopper, with a 49.5mm lug to lug.

Plum Fumé not listed as an option anymore... really hope they've not discontinued that one.

Plum Fumé is still there, the Fumé models are listed separately (lower down the page). I don't think they're planning to do those in the new sizes - not yet anyway.

Ah you have to scroll to the right. Not very obvious on a phone.

Yeah I totally missed that on phone. Thanks @Regal , the wait for the Medium Plum Fumé continues... Would be tempted by a small Fumé if that's a thing by the time I make it to the front of the queue!

Oh yeah. Not obvious at all.

The small one is manually wound and I really think it could have done with a bigger crown. The crown on my Model 1s are a bit of a pain to wind when you need to get them going. They're quite small and recessed into the crown guards.

Wow. Did the case need any refinishing? The edges and the brushed finish...exquisite.

Yes, it did. Some laser welding too. Some pictures of before:

Goodness me. That's proper metalwork. What a quality job.

Waiting list for the lot... 😂

I made the same mistake and panicked briefly when I couldn't see it the medium plum is still my favourite. I was a bit late to the party on this one so probably back of the queue 😴

I was annoyed with my Paulin crown being a bit too small, it didn’t need to be that small.

That’s how they’re doing it now. One waiting list for everything. When your name comes up they ask you what you want.

I think I want a model 2 in either racing green or flax, if I ever get called up.

Yeah, they’re very similar to the one on the Paulin Neo.

More like ROLLIE isn't probably amitire
