You are too old for that!!!😂😂😂

Nice one with the Hamilton that was a bit of a bargain. I very nearly got one myself but I'm working on something else. I've been wearing the Squale on a vintage two stitch this week. For a very blue watch that's too shiny it's surprisingly versatile and seems to work with whatever strap I've stuck it on so far.

Perhaps this thread is a bit highbrow (golfclub) for my needs but I'll ask anyway. I'm after a cheap and cheerful watch.

Analogue face
Back-light or illumination
Countdown timer
Alarm function

Does this exist.

Casio AW-90H-9EVEF comes close, but doesn't quite cut it.

If it exists, it's probably a Casio.

The GA-2100 series G-Shock ticks all of those boxes except for the alarm. It only has an hourly beep function. But it does have the light, the countdown timer and other stuff like world time.

Also it's not all that cheap.

Perhaps I'll have to forego the light aspect then. Thank you.

There are a lot of Casios. There might well be one that fits the bill.

Oh, actually - the GA-B2100 series, which is the upgraded GA-2100 series with solar charging and Bluetooth, does have alarms, along with everything else on your list.

I have the green one, it's ace.

The GM-2100CB series also meets all your requirements, if you prefer a metal bezel and fabric strap, but they're more expensive again.

Just had a look. Way too many variables to wade thru. But I think I can make one fit the bill. Thank you!

I was going to suggest one of the bluetooth casios as they have alarms you set from the app

For my money i'd start at this

Nahhhhh, I just need some oxygen and two additional recovery days haha, full gas it is!

I’m too old for it then!! 😂😂😂

Lovely. Too smart for my wrist. I think a 2nd hand gshock will be the one.

I’m looking for a rectangular watch. I’d prefer an automatic movement and ideally not have to remortgage my house to buy it. Any recommendations?

Cartier De Santos is the only real option

Nice speedy but is that a Pegoretti behind?

Baume and Mercier Hampton around half the price of a Cartier Tank. Free watch winder and 10% off here.

It's nice but it's not a Tank
