i know right. simply amazing. this is real watch tech and advancement. not the microscope access only cosmetic engravings, but redefines the word " complication" .:s12:

last i saw a real innovation as exciting as this was GP's constant escapement.

won't be surprised that similar tech is used to enable the 31 days power reserve

Bro which app did u use to detect magnetism?

Suspect my speedy tio magnetised too... was running 3s/day then suddenly 20+s then it graduall went down and now 12s

Will there be any permanent damage if I leave it in magnetised state for too long?

Planning to get a simple and practical watch as a daily wear for wife.

Currently, she has 2 watches; a old Titus quartz and Tissot auto and rotates between them every few days. She has to change the quartz battery annually coz the battery is small and only lasts her slightly more than a year and she finds it a hassle to adjust the Tissot every few days.

I'm considering to get her a Seiko (solar) or Citizen (eco-drive); neither does she need to change battery nor adjust the watch frequently. :s13:

She prefers something non-flashy, simple and durable. So, I'm considering these 2 brands. Any other recommendation?

Visited city chain outlet but the models are quite limited. Anywhere else can I find a wide selection?

TIA.

I bought my gf a casio sheen series :)

Some of sheen series not very flashy.

But if looking at solar, eco drive is the way to go. My 6 yo eco drive like nv stop one.

Cincy watch strap seems to be another option. Some guy over at WUS done an extensive review on both plus a couple more better straps

Edit: found the web page but it's link to Tapatalk. Not sure how to untag it. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=http%3A%2F%2Fforums%2Ewatchuseek%2Ecom%2Fshowthread%2Ephp%3Ft%3D3809666&share_tid=3809666&share_fid=13788&share_type=t
