no i do not want to hear about value or how a phone can tell time.

do you like the way this watch looks? yes? no?

yes

simple design
nice colors

the face really pops

---

it's gold colored so it looks cheap as hell

---

I dont like the blue on gold tbh

if they used a different shade of blue or a more metallic looking gold maybe itd work, but from that image it just looks tacky to me

---

Not a fan of gold watches or gold colored watches. Other than that, it's alright. Pretty basic looking.

Looks kinda tacky. At a glance, I wouldn't have thought it was a $250 MSRP watch. The gold color makes it look really fake.

---

the more you mention it the gold color does look kinda cheap.

I like the coloring and bold face, although too golden for me. Also way more than I'd pay for quartz.

Sorry, but this item can't be shipped to your country

No shit.

Love blue faces, hate gold bracelets.

Not my jam, but if it were gifted to me I would rock it on a nato band.

Might as well slap a Notre Dame logo it

They can be incredibly fun, but you have to be willing to accept they aren't perfect. They aren't even perfectly linear, as their consistency will be affected throughout the day simply by how tight their springs are, their axial rotations, even the temperature. If you need precision, you should use quartz. It's proven technology and even a dirt cheap quartz will be accurate to seconds within years, far more accurate than autos costing thousands of dollars. Mechanical watches are more about the flavor, the sounds they make or the sights, depending how open the face is even watching the engine at work.

That is gaudy with a capital 1920's.

That would be the Nixon 51-30 Chrono.

51 mm boyyyeee

that's cool, watch has month , day and date.

---

Anyways i know automatics aren't perfect but i still want one

you've never owned an automatic?

---

I have but it doesn't work. It was a vostok amphibian and one day it just stopped andi never investigated. Seems stuck. I liked it well enough. I do own a wind up non auto pocket watch i really like.

yeah quartz's are def. more reliable. autos can just stop working
