What is your least trendy/popular watch opinion?

☕ And no takers.

I don't think that 29mm is too small of a watch for a man.

81% off??!! Shit, that's a steal at 72.5% off!!

Cannot say I disagree... I think Genta had a few moments but by and large the majority of his design philosophy leaves me as dry & cold as "Avocado Green" and "Harvest Gold".

Unless you are ready to jump in the water there is no need to have the chrono pushers screwed down. They look better unscrewed, too.

I find everything that Richard Mille has come up with utterly revolting. The fascination for the technical side I do understand, but the appearance... wow.




And, this riles me up regularly: The unsynchronized screw head positionings on bezels, bracelets etc. Yes, that's referring to you, Cartier. Makes a 5k watch look like it was 4,99$ to my eye. I don't know, I just don't like my luxury watch to at least look like it was built about as careless as a Tesla.

I completely agree with this. If you want style, build quality and technological innovation that will leave you dumbfounded, look no further than JLC. They do it all and for less than the big three.

I thought this was a $10 Walmart special, then I saw the price. Yeesh!

I do greatly admire the Speedmaster and think its meritorious styling is both iconic and enduring. I'm grateful and enthused to have one. It's one of the best looking Omegas, best looking chronographs and will be forever timeless, if Omega doesn't monkey with its styling features ... but, it's not my favorite watch, or even favorite Omega. I sure do miss mine though, while it's away for an extended hospital stay after being foolishly dropped twice in quick succession.



It might be better for me to post examples of what I do like in a watch rather than many features or complications I find cluttering and detracting. Especially date or day/date features.

Simple mechanical movement designs and styling in any size from 33mm to 40mm make me really happy even though I have an 8-inch wrist. Other watches having date or even day/date features and even one quartz live here, but these below, as well as some more on hand similar to them, suit me best.

I love the 1950s Constellations in any no-date iteration best of all Omegas. I love winding watches best, but admire some vintage automatic movements, central second hand or sub-second hand. I love a full set of Arabic numeral markers.







I love solid gold watches, especially 18kt rose gold.


14kt yellow gold is quite nice too, especially if it also features a full set of Breguet style Arabic numeral markers.


I love watches that are survivors, yet still serviceable for the purpose for which they were designed.






Not a survivor, but I still keep it, unable to find a watchmaker willing to repair its cheap-o 7-jewel movement. Have liked sub-second dials ever since I got this first watch in about 1965, when i was in the third grade. Full set of Breguet numeral markers too!

Heavy discounts. Nobody?

The Bund strap….me likey!



EDIT: Might as well ad a picture of the atrocity!😉

For when you’re doing an activity that you want/need a watch and there is a good chance the watch will be severely damaged or completely destroyed/lost. AKA a disposable watch. Mine cost $27. It’s about utility not pleasure. Seems pretty straight forward to me.
