Today looked at some #CasioWatch​es ...
- #AE1200 seems to have utterly tiny-sized time digits (at ~[34] ft in Macy's display case), which did not look that way in watch {over,re}views;
- #GSTB1000D_2A has better bracelet than rather loosely connected bracelet of #GM2110D_2A (dial is lovely).

Got myself #GBM2100A_2B ...

I went ahead and picked up the Timex Expedition Field Post Titanium Automatic, and I am happy as can be! It's my first mechanical wristwatch, and I think I picked a great one. It’s light, comfortable, feels like a tank, and seems to be keeping pretty accurate time for the 9 hours that I’ve had it. It has a Miyota 8215 movement with custom, shock absorbent mounting and a screw down crown for better water resistance. It’s almost the exact same size as the Casio AE-1000W I’ve used as my EDC, and only a little bit heavier.

Kicking around out in my backyard with this Watchidives Aventurine dial #watch.  VH31 movement, sapphire crystal, simple casual #wristwatch.

So, here's something a little different. An "unboxing" series of photos. The most disappointing #wristwatch I have had the displeasure to unbox. Story in the photo captions.

I really just thought I was getting something a little fun and offbeat for $20. But, I've got $10 Skmei watches are better than this abomination.

The well-known Addiesdive  AD2037 #chronograph with the orange / black panda dial and VK64 movement. Hard to fault this #watch for $90. Okay, so it has a domed mineral crystal, but for this price: 316L stainless steel, nicely finished case, 100M water resistance -- it's still hard to beat. (Please don't mind my dry skin in the photo.)

So, I know these #watches were panned when they were released.  I think too many people thought that it was #Bulova trying to cash in on the #Moonswatch. But, I didn't see it that way, I thought the idea of doing ocean themed #divewatches made a lot of sense.  Even the idea of doing them in ceramic with rubber straps that incorporate recycled garbage that's been pulled out of the ocean made a lot of sense.

The thing that didn't make a lot of sense was the pricing. They were priced as if they were Moonswatches, which they weren't.  Now, if they had a Precisionist movement, then the pricing would have made sense -- at that point it would have been a bargain.

However, a year later, and things have changed.  Bulova has dramatically lowered the prices of these watches, making them much more in line with what they should have been in the first place.  So, I picked up the Blue Whale #Snorkel watch to see if I liked it.  And, yeah, it was very nice, so I used some discounts I had available and purchased the Sea Turtle and Seagull watches.

To me, these are really great casual, weekend wear watches.
