What time is it? Watches and horology

I recognise souls socks

Lining this one up for the GF rather than a Larsen and Jennings:

Thoughts welcome

Nice looking watch. Weird photos though, look chopped.

what's the view on the seven friday things watchfinder are retailing? Don't get it myself. http://news.watchfinder.co.uk/_act/link.php?mid=c927282417683189975035526394212&tid=131795734&subjid=155519

with its industrial blend of haute horology and colour

wtf ?!

Closest this watch is ever going to get to diving...

Looks right at home.

Come to think of it I did go swimming in it once.

Tried this on last week. It's on the list to buy once I've settled down in my new job...

What is that?
Most watch's I see I just find a bit meh, but then something like that pops up and I start wanting a decent watch again.

Junghans Max Bill Chrono

Edit: Which incidentally is the watch that I have decided to wear on my wedding.

My brother rocked up mine with this on, so i pinched it for a photo...

Is there a low tech/DIY solution to keeping your watch wound when you aren't wearing it for a few days? I tried attaching it to the cat but he wasn't keen...

Putting it in your pocket might do

This sounds like a Buttered Cat Array...

Pebble arrived today.

No extra charge from customs either.

Leaving it on top of the washing machine/tumble dryer would probably do the job.

Can't imagine that'd do it much good

Why not? You think the motion of the washer/dryer would be too small to push the auto-movement past the ratchet? Or do you mean the inevitable vibrate across the top, slide off & smash the crystal on the floor issue?

That and magnetic fields?

Google has thrown up some interesting ideas:

And back to smartwatches:

'Evening watch enthusiasts. Not your preferred subject of fine Swiss hand crafted movements but I have a question regarding digital heart rate monitor watches.

Any recommendations for my 61 year old father-in-law who has a heart problem and would like to monitor his heart rate please? Must be reliable, easy to use, comfortable. I'm guessing a decent sports watch? If anyone has any experience or knowledge I'd appreciate it, for I have none on these instruments. Cheers.

As a watch wearer, and unsure about the general reliability of HRM stuff, this struck me as a very interesting product - the same price as a HRM chest strap but far more useable

Thank you. I think he would prefer something a bit more like a normal digital wrist watch. Other criteria are: must need no chest strap, battery powered. Been having a quick google. Some Timex products look like what he would want I think, something like this:

Amazon.com: Timex Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Midsize Watch (Black, Mid-Size): Sports & Outdoors

Not sure how accurate and reliable it is though. Anyone?

PM Dammit. He knows his apples about wrist mounted HRMs.

Yes, all present and correct.

If aggi's not interested, I would be...same feelings, no reason in particular but quite fancy a pebble to play with.
