What time is it? Watches and horology

They are lovely watches , really like them . I'm after something at can get wet , wear whilst doing outdoorsy stuff , exercise in , but looks more elegant than a gshock.

Any style preference??

There's the Seiko solar divers at 28.5mm as well but dunno if you want an actual dive watch. https://www.seikoboutique.co.uk/product/prospex-compact-solar-scuba-diver-2/

With a dive bezel or not? Metal bracelet or strap? How do you feel about G Shocks?

Hamilton?? Could obviously switch straps out etc.

Very nice, though the horror stories about the guy who runs it puts me off !

It kinda reminds me of this.

I was thinking about this earlier! I think I need to try one on for size , see how it feels

Hadn't considered a diver , but that's quite nice

Hadn't really considered a diver. Open on strap type . I find G Shocks too big, and would prefer something more that looks more like a traditional watch . Something that's is fairly light and comfortable to wear all day

There's a quartz version too, long lugs put me off a little . But I should probably try one on before jumping to conclusions...

That a modded Prospex out of interest?

G Shocks are not all plastic and digital.

I have an MTG S1000, good enough for most situations, with more functions than I use.

Am now down a rabbit hole looking at radio controlled Citizens from the Japanese domestic market.....

£276! Is that John Lewis? Trying to find it

I'd imagine it'll be the quartz verison for that price

Edit: nope , mechanical! But out of stock

Good call. Like those Hamiltons

Shit. That's a pain.

I guess I'll have to find out what casio's warranty is like.

I got a second hand solar powered seiko recently. They're cheap on ebay.
