    Gaaaaaaaah this is my favourite of the Speedtimers…. the golden panda. The want is strong.

  • Vladdo on 21/04/2023 - 17:05

    I'd instabuy the black/blue/red version but the seconds hand is a stopwatch. I just want a seconds hand that is a seconds hand is a constant movement, ie, not a second or half second click..

    • O15 on 21/04/2023 - 17:16
      +4

      That is the case for most watches with a chronograph. What looks like the seconds hand is the seconds hand for the chronograph and then real seconds hand is on a sub dial.
      Sweeping second hands are usually only found on automatic movements. There are quartz watches with sweeping seconds hands but they are not common.
      I should probably also acknowledge Spring Drive, so @maverickjohn doesn't slap me.

      • wfh on 21/04/2023 - 18:02

        Yup, sweeping second hands would be too noisy on a chrono dial

      • maverickjohn on 21/04/2023 - 18:40
        +2

        😅 lol . Thanks for the recognition. Have to say though, the save with acknowledging spring drive has meant you have etched your name in my legends list

      • Vladdo on 22/04/2023 - 12:16

        Ok.. what about another way… Can you set it so that it permanently rotates irrespective of if it's incorrect. It's not going to stop after an hour or 100 hrs?

        • O15 on 22/04/2023 - 16:13
          +1

          You can keep a chronograph running. In a mechanical watch, it's not good for the movement. In a quartz watch, I imagine it would drain your battery quicker.

  • baldur on 21/04/2023 - 17:35

          OP watch is pretty nice. I prefer the Panda, though.

          • BargainHunterJohnnyB on 21/04/2023 - 19:59

            @O15: Yeah I guess I am a bit of a chav - I'm not saying I wouldn't wear the one in the OP.. I would.. I just think that the one that I showed you looks more sleek and sports like.. something that a cool guy that knows how to fight would wear.

            • Assburg on 22/04/2023 - 11:29

              @BargainHunterJohnnyB: Honestly it's the kind of watch that illicits the energy of a pretender.

              If you like it that's totally different from wearing it because it looks like a cool guy watch. In 2023 formidable opponents generally wear smart watches.

            @O15: Is the panda a better quality watch than the Chad one?

            • O15 on 21/04/2023 - 20:19

              @BargainHunterJohnnyB: I would expect them to be pretty similar in quality. They both have sapphire crystals, which is nice.
              The SSC573P has more features. It's got perpetual calendar, chronograph and dual time zone.
              The Speedtimer is just a chronograph.

              • BargainHunterJohnnyB on 21/04/2023 - 20:30

                @O15: So I SHOULD get the Chad watch, SSC573P?

                • O15 on 21/04/2023 - 20:44

                  @BargainHunterJohnnyB: I don't like the aesthetic but functionally, it seems like a good watch for the money.
                  If you don't think you will out-grow the diamantes any time soon, go for it.
                  Might be worth at least sleeping on it. Best Worst case scenario, it's sold out in the morning and you can do some more looking around.

                  • BargainHunterJohnnyB on 21/04/2023 - 21:03

                    @O15: Is this watch better then? It has no diamantes - https://starbuy.com.au/seiko-coutura-ssc698p/

                    • O15 on 21/04/2023 - 21:52

                      @BargainHunterJohnnyB: I do find the absence of diamantes to be an improvement. It's also cheaper. Win, win.
                      If you truly do like it and if you have a wrist large enough for it (44mm is decently big), I think you should grab it.

                      It's not hideous, it's just not my style. It doesn't have to be, though.
                      As I said, it seems to be pretty solid in terms of functionality.

                      • BargainHunterJohnnyB on 21/04/2023 - 22:04

                        @O15: What about the features? Are you telling me that it costs less for more? (i.e., the diamantes)?

                  @BargainHunterJohnnyB: I've got the SSC788, and on the wrist it doesn't look Chavvy at all. I very nearly tipped over to the black one but in the end the silver bling won me over
