[Question] Watch slows down when not worn, run fast if worn, but why wouldn't it run faster once i wear it again? (alien.top)
 

My watch with ETA2824 slows down when not worn, run fast if worn, but why wouldn't it run faster once i wear it again? i mean it stays in the slower position. But if i sync the time and then wear it, it would be faster as expected..

[Discussion] Hot take: If G shocks existed 75+ years ago, all the pilots, divers, and astronauts would have used them instead of Daytonas/Speedmasters/Submariners in c/watches@style.land

i think people that boast about spec on their automatic watch, talk about it and compare them with another mechanical watches. No sane person would compare their mechanical watch to a quartz/solar/smartwatch (unless about history or aesthetic)

[Question] Am I a watch collector if I only own casios? in c/watches@style.land
[–] ivanyufen@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

once i chatted with my friend who proudly said he is a watch collector, with collection consist of casio, alba, and alexandre christie (kind of fashion watch here in southeast asia). It's not about the brand, as long as you genuinely smile every time you look at your wrist.

Why should you force yourself to buy another watch? If you haven't found anything you like yet, just enjoy the current collection until you come across something your mind can't get off

[Citizen Garrison] I don't understand why these aren't more popular in c/watches@style.land

[Question] Do people here know a watch brand called "Alexandre Christie"? (alien.top)
 

It is a very popular brand, especially here in southeast asia. Most non-enthusiast consider them to be a luxury or good watches. I'm not exaggerating, they are more popular than even a seiko.
