What time is it? Watches and horology

G-Shock now working with Wear OS.

GSW-1000-1ER

I love G-Shock and use Wear OS. Win.

It's all black with negative display. Win.

Strap sucks. Nah.

As Google has bought FitBit will Casio still be on board in two years time? Nah.

£600 is a lot of money for a watch than can loose functionality.

Hmm...

Yep. My MTG is over 10 years old and has all the above plus digital display.

Does it have WearOS?

Haha no! Don't think Casio were that forward thinking...

This I know, especially 10 years ago.

Point is this is the first G-Shock to use Wear.

The Pro-Treks have used it for a while but wasn't fussed.

Sorry yes my post was meant to be a reply to Dethbeard. Not sure what happened.

I wouldn't trust google with keeping a service running..

Neither would I unless it's pure data acquisition...

NWD - brother was having a clearout and wears a Garmin now.

Railmaster doing its job. Stood above a 25Kv transformer, that's the supply cable in red, 6500hp at 125mph.
Bit of a different day.

Got the dreaded call from watchmaker today.
Little seiko has packed it. Literally as it's full of glass splinters and dust that can't be blown out.
Needs a full movement transplant. :(
Anyone got a lead for a good price seiko automatic movement, I don't recall the name, the one above 7s26, with hacking seconds? I'm in DK.
Thanks

Sour news.
Guess the movement will be a 4R36?
(NH36 is the non-seiko branded, but still seiko made version, might be easier to source)

Donor watch on ebay?

Dont know what that means but sounds hardcore

Haha my thoughts exactly 😂

I like this more than I expected @ejay2.0

That must be it. Donor watch is angoodnootion, I'll look into that. Thanks very much.

Consider speaking to another watchmaker too. It might just be that the one you spoke to didn't think it was worth you paying for their time to do it. Ultimately all it needs is a full service...

I bought a Seiko SRPE53 (the blue dress KX). It's a nice watch but not singing to me for some reason. It was pre-owned - but bracelet completely unworn and still stickered, and only marks on the watch a couple of v minor strap change marks on underside of lugs from prev owner. Otherwise perfect condition and box and papers etc. I bought for around £135 and looking to sell on for similar - so £130 plus postage if anyone on here interested.

EDIT - I double checked and I bought it for £130, so for sale for £125 plus postage

Good God! You are using a Railmaster on an Overhead Power Electric Train?

How dare you!

As Google has bought FitBit will Google still be on board in two years time? Nah

Surely this is more accurate

Still available.....

Imagine it!
Once is enough though, scared stiff I'd scratch it. Back to Garmin tomorrow. :)

Still available.....

Are you sure? Check your PMs

Garmin? Looking to get the Strava mileage up on a Intercity 125 then? 😂
