hey watchnerd, can you recommend some decent alternative brands (<$50)? wanting to suss out whats available as the above are not my style.
Sure, but you haven't given me much to go off. What style do you like?
Maybe do a search first to pick out something that interests you.
i've worn gshocks all my life and would like a more elegant/simple/classic look
Hi WatchNerd,
Do you know any alternatives for Seiko watches especially their Coutura line and the Casio Edifice? I also really like the style of the Bulova Marin Star but couldn't find anything on watchuseek. Thanks in advance!
@OptimumCrush: Like I said, maybe do a search first then you can link me to some styles that you like. This will give me more of an idea.
$50 or under is a tricky price point, because you can either get a Casio for around $50.00 or a $10.00 China Cheapo.
If you spend around $100.00 it opens up to good quality watch making brands, like Seiko (Orient) & Citizen.
Everytime I see your posts I love checking out the Ali watches you post, but I rarely go through with it. That Sinobi tipped me over the edge though. Thanks!
No probs, did you look through the linked Aliexpress thread on Watchuseek? There's lots of good photos & comments on that watch.
Nah, I just took the punt. Every time I dive into one of your forum links I get distracted and end up buying nothing; hell, I've got over 20 watches in my AliEx cart that i added from the first few pages of the best-of Ali post you link to occasionally. If this one turns out to be as good as it looks then I fear I'll be forever lost down the rabbit-hole… And I'll blame you!
Every time I dive into one of your forum…
Yeah, i'm actively stalking WatchNerd.
Nice balanced combination of watch knowledge and trolling.
Just what i like in my men.
Now [6] days since i've bought a watch.
I wish that Watch Repair kit would show up so i can pull the back off a few of them and take some shots. Stand by.
@AngryChicken: since I'm pretty much sorted for torches for now (at least until the BLF Q8 starts shipping), I suspect watches will take over from my flashlight addiction for a while (or so I tell myself). And yeah, I stalk him/her a bit too
I went peak torch with the Nitecore EA4 thanks to the Torch Nerd ezarc. I hardly use it, but when i do - BLAM!
Holy crap, BLF Q8 is 4500 lumens!
@AngryChicken: it's funny, the EA4 was my first foray into torches. I'm up to about 20 now, the last being the Zebralight SC600fd mkiii neutral. What a wonderful piece of engineering that thing is.
What group buy? I can find some online refs but not a clear link. Is this ending 12pm froggy time today?
