The Watch Thread - Part 11

[slow_mo]

I also do a lot of desk diving...

I also use the chronograph quite often when I send my boy to child care. Got to time and leave the carpark within 10 minutes avoid charge!

See... uses in daily life!

Is the baby tuna discontinued? Can't understand why.... It's such a popular model. I also read somewhere that the skx are also discon...

昨晚有个錶友给我发了一条私信。。。
大陆淘宝商家推出了一款致敬版，采用sw200機芯。价格不便宜哟！

You really buy a mechanical watch for its function? World timer/GMT will be practical, but divers,chronos, Moonphase on the other hand....
Well I guess I have lots of useless watches then

I run my Chrono every 2 weeks for fun just to see that it's working.

Wouldnt get the speedy although I understand it's a classic but I am steering away from chronos unless I use it frequently but most do not even use the function.

Why not? I also didn't think I'll use chrono much, but after I got the speedy, I time every damn thing with it.. From cooking eggs to timing the mid-course correction burn on my lunar module's reaction control system..

Samasama.... I know watch is iconic but the feel is just not there for me. Like what yatto's wife said, looks kinda like a swatch....... Lol

I saw jw site got one 50 Atmos at a good price. Hoot ah!!

Thanks bro but I prefer the sunburst blue dial with SQUALE written on its side.

I would use the bezel on my tuna though haha personal preference I guess

I understand that, I do that as well just for fun.
But I don't think you buy the watch based on whether you will use the chrono function right?
Personally I buy for the idea that it is a chrono, not because I will use it.

I do that when I'm wearing my divers.

Now... any use for moon phase?

Lol, of course not. Watches are a vanity thing today, let's not kid ourselves. The most basic watch is also redundant when people are spending 80-90% of their time awake looking at different screens.. Handphone when commuting, the car dashboard with a clock there, computer screen at the office where you can see the time by hoovering your mouse at the taskbar.. You don't really need a time function either.

The only time I really need a stopwatch is the gym. It's too ley chey to just keep switching to the clock app so I get a cheap Casio for that. Why would I wear my expensive heavy chrono to hit it against all the metal bars.

I bought my chronos because I like having a lot of different dials on my watch face and I'd feel stupid if they were non-functional. Simple as that.

Which is why I'm surprised by rboyboy's comment, I thought it's a pure vanity decision these days, I mean who really use the minute repeater function to tell time at night due to bad vision?
I don't even use the date function if there is no quickset ... the only function I actually use is the worldtimer/dual-time when traveling.
