      How good is TGV, really got (back) into watches thanks to him. Bloke is all class.

        TGV is such an insufferable twat he almost got me (back) out of watches. The topics he covers could be quite interesting, but his persona is grating and his delivery is borderline unwatchable.

        quartz watches are nice if you don't wear the same watch every day or simply don't want to wear a watch every day, i like automatics but i didn't realise they had such short power reserves and when i want to wear it i have to reset the time and date (not the deal watch) every time.

        solar powered quartz watches are the best.

      • vol4321 on 12/09/2021 - 13:08

        Well, clearly, I said it. I don't care for automatic watches.

      • Ezuku on 12/09/2021 - 14:30

        I very much prefer quartz over automatic. Superior accuracy, cheaper, less maintenance costs. At actually being a watch and telling the time quartz is much better. Of course solar and kinetic are better still.

        One of the most well known field watches, the CWC British Military G10 was actually a quartz movement due to their better reliability so there's definitely a market and need for them. I have this SNK809 and when I put it on a Nato strap, imo it becomes visually too thick in proportion to its diameter and can snag on the cuff and the like. A quartz movement would allow for a slimmer case without any of these issues.

      Do you mean a similar size or just in that style? There's plenty of cheapo homages on Aliexpress.

      Citizen have a 37mm model that's in the same field watch style, but I think it's discontinued now. The only place I could find it at a reasonable price is Jomashop (prices in USD) -

      • vol4321 on 12/09/2021 - 13:11

        Both size and style. I already had an ali special that I actually liked a lot, but the needles just fell off one day. That citizen looks like it might be the ticket.

          This is 40mm but a good price - Timex Expedition Scout 40 (4 in stock) - $54.21 delivered
          Might tick loud though.

          • StToffee on 12/09/2021 - 16:44

            @WatchNerd: I had an Expedition for about a week - I couldn't believe how small it was! Was a shame. Looked gorgeous, but had to sell.

          • Icoloritecture on 12/09/2021 - 20:48

            @WatchNerd: Although I didn't have this exact timepiece, I agree about the sound, I wanted to put it on my dresser table beside my bed at night but the ticking was too loud for me even when i put it in the bedside drawer. To be fair, I am the sort to need close to pin drop silence when I sleep.

              @vol4321: If anyone else is looking at a quartz field watch, the Pulsar Solar PX3221X is on sale right now elsewhere. Pulsar even has history providing actual quartz field watch to the british military and its movement was used in the CWC G10. It has more wrist presence at 39.5mm but it should still wear fine on skinny wrist because of the black dial and the short lugs reducing the lug to lug distance or overhang. I have a skinny 6 inch wrist and wear a 40mm diameter watch with 45mm lug to lug distance very comfortably.

            @devilbabies: You beat me to suggesting it! I have this model, it is very noticeably slimmer and lighter to the SNK809 (which I also have) and imo has a nicer dial than the SNK809, which is marginally harder to read at a glance. The SNK809 has some flieger watch design influences that I feel were meant for bigger dials (which is a plus if you want that in a small watch).

      Sticking with Seiko…. if you really wanted a similar style with quartz, these cost more but I think are really cool.

      Also Seiko SBCA001 if you can find one second hand.

      • Icoloritecture on 12/09/2021 - 22:37

        I wanted the Seiko Spirit SBCA001 so badly for myself, if only it was still in production and didnt have hiked up prices. I think it looks better than snk809, please bring it back Seikooo whyyy

    • axloz on 12/09/2021 - 12:16

      I had an old Seiko SNE245 that was a solar battery with quartz movement. On a full charge it'd last 6 months.

      Otherwise try an old Chronosport quartz watch. They're US and Swiss made from the 1970's-80's. Top quality watches with swiss movements at Seiko prices. Some of their nicer ones end up being up over $1k though - if you can find them.

    • Deadalready on 12/09/2021 - 14:06

      Police, this man!
      I don't know if I could go with a traditional Quartz again after buying my first auto mechanical. The only caveat is I'm looking for a Quarts Solar for my next watch.

      Serious answer, check out Timex.

  • jrjr on 12/09/2021 - 11:16

    Awesome first automatic watch, great pairing up with a variety of straps and can also be modded to look completely different if you so choose. If you change the crystal to a domed crystal, it looks really nice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d-1P6xJrrg

  • SAVE FERRIS on 12/09/2021 - 11:54

    I bought this during Amazon Prime and it hasn't left my wrist since - except to swap out the bands. I've purchased around 20+ nato straps off Aliexpress and swap it out every few days depending on my mood.

    Great watch and decent movement. I have to readjust it maybe once a week.

  • kron on 12/09/2021 - 11:59

    I'd recommend people going through the reviews on Amazon before buying.

    • olderman on 12/09/2021 - 17:13

      This is such a basic rule for any purchase, but what exactly made you think that it's worth reminding that rule for these (great) watches?

  • gasman70 on 12/09/2021 - 12:35

    Great watch for someone with very small wrists.

    Bargain.

  • Presence on 12/09/2021 - 12:35

    I've been wearing one basically every day since 2012. Swimming, snorkelling, hiking, skiiing, carpentry, mechanical stuff, i never take it off and it just keeps going.

    I would suggest a nato strap though so if a spring bar fails you wont loose the watch.

    • macrocephalic on 12/09/2021 - 13:00

      Are you sure it's this model? This model is only 3ATM water resistant, so it's definitely not supposed to be worn swimming. It's a shame; it's a nice looking field watch but such poor water resistance really let's it down.

      • Presence on 12/09/2021 - 13:22

        Yes I'm sure. It's an 807 which just means blue color. The box says 30m water resistance, which I completely get isn't a depth measurement, but I've never had a drama with snorkeling or jet skiing.

            @olderman: I reckon the risk of water damage is lower than the risk of losing it if i were to remove it at the beach :)

  • Deadalready on 12/09/2021 - 14:22

    It's a great watch, I purchased one during the last sale about this price.
    Two things I wish I knew before I purchased.

    The Amazon version comes from Malaysia NOT Japan and buy a GOOD band immediately because the one that comes with the watch sucks.

    I recommend the Barton Canvas straps
    https://www.amazon.com.au/Barton-Canvas-Release-Watch-Straps…

    Or the Bond Nato strap (this one was cheap and great quality!)

        No, but when I purchased a Japanese watch brand, I kinda expected it to come from Japan.

  • clemoly on 12/09/2021 - 14:56

    the included strap is scratchy and not great looking but it's a fantastic watch if you add on a leather nato strap

  • DARK KHAOS on 12/09/2021 - 15:29

    Grabbed one. Thanks.

  • Magicbee on 12/09/2021 - 16:38

    Is this automatic or quartz? Listing said 1 CR2 batteries required?

    • olderman on 12/09/2021 - 17:06

      Both are mechanical watches with automatic selfwinding movement (you can't manually wind it).

      PS: I wonder where did you find CR2 battery requirement? Amazon's descriptions sometimes are wrong, but I couldn't find CR2 reference for either of them.

  • st33p on 12/09/2021 - 17:14

    Any suggestion something similar to SNK795 (style and size) but in quarts or solar?
    Thanks

  • Hugh G Rection on 12/09/2021 - 17:25
