Title: The watch thread

What watch do you have? What is your holy grail if money was no object? What do you like?

Post all things watch in this thread.

This is my favourite that I have:

Full metal G-Shock, was a gift for a birthday. Is solar powered and uses multiband 6, doesn't need replacing the battery, nor the time setting as it updates via radio wave every night so it's literally never wrong. Is pretty much indestructible too.

I have a few of the vintage digital casios and a Seiko 5 which uses automatic movement. Not as accurate but it is charming and fascinating. I like how it uses no electricity, just the movement of your wrist and a spring.

These are the ones I have. I switch straps sometimes but the VAER is the main one I wear.

I don't really know much about watches honestly, only started wearing daily last October since I realized dumb watches exist.

I recently passed a cybersecurity certification and bought myself that VAER since I passed, which motivated myself to study as much as possible.

I am currently studying for the CCNA certification now and when I pass, I am getting the Arabic Seiko.

It doesn't cost much but I don't want the shiny one, just the dial for a strap I already have.

Is the Arabic Seiko modded or do Seiko actually sell those?

Seiko 5s are so good.

It's a real one they've always made from what I know

Another attainable watch, Longines Conquest 41mm. 'Only' a couple of thousand pounds.


I think it's beautiful.
