What brand of watch do you wear? [Merged]

[foresterx]

Casio Twin Sensor w/ ALT-DEPTH-BARO METER. Imagine malalaman mo kung uulan.

accurate ba bro? baka mamaya report nan parang PAGASA lang, pag sinabing mag dala ng payong eh wala pala ulan yung payong na dadalin mo para lang sa araw at di mainitan.

Low pressure ang detect nito. So this means within 3 hours maaring umulan.



Kita mo yun LCD yun underscore, Low Pressure " yun at umulan kaninang 7pm dito sa amin sa Banawe, QC. Note 1:17AM ko nakunan ng picture yun Casio ko.

Well the reality is unless its like a Swatch or a low end brand all watches are overpriced. Kung ganun lang naman bumili na lang tayo ng replicas... But watches are pieces of jewelry din more than just a timepiece so I think people are buying into that too... And yeah of course the brand recognition adds up to the cost too...

true, a rolex can tell no time better than my timex but iba yung feeling na you're wearing something that doesnt run with batteries and that it was crafted with tradition and precision since it was made to run a lifetime, at this day and age lahat kasi efficiency and mass production na...wait wala akong rolex hah, tho i wish haha

btw certina is part of the swatch group, same as omega, tiffany, hamilton etc... i was supposed to get the same one as yours kaso wala palang automatic nun

im looking for my next project watch: tag carrera or longines grandevitesse which guys do you prefer

longines

on brand alone i would choose longines, more rare, richer history. both watches run on the same movement Valjoux 7750

For me as a personal preference I prefer quartz for everyday wear just like the Certina DS First I bought. Just in case I forget to wear it for a day or forget to wind it up then it will still move. Lower din ang maintenance kasi battery lang ang maintenance so perfect for everyday wear. Mechs are good for collection and the special occasions... I have a mechanical Rolex Datejust for the more special occasions...

Its a matter of taste, I prefer TAG Heuer Carrera aesthetically speaking...

If one can afford it buy a rolex, its not just the time but what makes you

feel good. Before I had a Tag but it was stolen. kaya buy na lang ako ng

seiko 5 sports. cheap and durable. automatic pa. been using mine for 6 years now. it looks nice pa rin. yun nga lang sa automatic minsan advance siya few minutes every month.

At first i was dreaming of getting a rolex pag yumaman ako...pero di talaga babagay sa personality ko since usually pang harabas ang mga gusto ko.

i have 3 casio that serves me well up to this day

1. Tough solar Casio dress watch with metal band, bought at 2k with my 1st salary and still going up to this date, 6 years old na...i usually wear it with my formal to smart casual office attire.

2. Casio protrek-tough solar series bought at 15k, still alive and kicking, 5 years old na....wear it when i want it, bagay kahit outdoor or office..pero pag mga outdoor activities and roadtrips eto talaga suot ko dahil sa compass.

3. G-shock mudman series (olive drab), bought at 6k...3 years old, nakapagpalit na ng strap dahil acidic ako but the watch itself seems to be indestructible sabi nung SA saken dati battery is usually good for 2 years but up to now di pa ko nagpapalit battery. Talagang gamit na gamit ang pagka gshock nya, pinang aairsoft ko tinamaan na ng bb running at 450fps di tinablan...akala ko nun marketing hype lang yung mga video ng torture test ng gshock sa website nila, based on experience...totoo nga!


*Lately hinahaunt ako ng bagong relo na nakita ko sa time depot...akala ko nun pag di ko na sya nakikita matatahimik na ko, pero mali! ngayon hanggang panaginip kunukulit na nya ko..ang pangalan nya...LUMINOX.

You better believe it, it's not just marketing, talagang matibay ang G-Shock. WALANG BINATBAT ang Timex (and I'm speaking from experience), especially in terms of build quality. Meron din akong Mudman (camo gray) plus four other G-Shocks, two of them solar-powered, one with atomic timekeeping.

Regarding battery life, Casio tends to be pretty conservative with their estimates. Yung isa kong G-Shock, 2 years ang rated battery life, pero 7 years na bago manghina yung display. If you don't use certain features often, such as the alarm and backlight, pwede mo pang patagalin lalo yung battery.

[praetor91313]

Matibay naman ang Timex. One model, the Stealth lasted me from college to post-grad. From post-grad I started using an Ironman. Yun nga lang yung strap ang palaging napuputol tapos yung kulay nya madaling matanggal. Both the ironman and stealth are still working when I gave them away, pangit na nga lang sila parehong tingnan dahil tanggal-tanggal na yung mga lettering sa labas at kulay.

The watch I use daily today is Wenger and the one I reserve for special occasiona is a G-shock (forgot the model, pero they're the stainless steel, square ones).

[shiopz]

My timex lasted me 2 years only and when they retired they were really beat up and non functional (worn out strap and yung metal casing nya ata hindi stainless talaga since ang bilis mag corrode ng back casing) while my casio timepieces as stated earlier outlasted timex and even up to now shows no sign of stopping.

Bilib at aliw lang din talaga ko sa tough solar technology ng casio na ginagaya na rin ngayon ng ibang watch manufacturers (i know citizen adopted solar tech na rin, timex gumaya na din).

Uses ambient light to power the watch and recharge the battery and in the absence of light thats the time it uses the battery charge...Only that tough solar batteries are pricey compared to regular watches since its solar charging (according to the SA i talked to).

G-shock

kapag nasa c.r. lang saka ko inaalis

[_Qwerty_]

yung guess waterpro steel ko since 1999 hanggang ngayon ok pa.. alaga lang sa palit nang battery every 2 yrs siguro..

I can buy Casio's tough solar technology (I have 2 GShocks with tough solar features) and two of our kids have Casio tough solar watches, too.....

But, atomic timekeeping here in the Philippines? I understand that its limited only in Northern America, Europe, China and Japan now.... Maybe, later...

You obviously haven't heard of the Pinoy G-Shock Alliance.

My Wave Ceptor G-Shock can receive the Japan signals practically every night, and I live in Antipolo, a hilly area which is supposed to make signal reception more difficult. I know of at least one Wave Ceptor owner who can receive the Japan signals in QC (North Triangle area) and another one with a Riseman Multi Band 6 who can receive the signals in Cebu. So it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say that the China signal reaches our shores as well. The timekeeping difference here is less than a second from the source, due to the relatively longer distance that the wave has to travel from the transmitter. Still impressive nonetheless.

Besides, the atomic signals from Japan and China are known to reach as far as Australia.

[CVT]

^^^ Thanks for that valuable information bro.

So, it's just the raw signal from Japan (and China) that reaches at least Metro Manila, from your account? No special tooling nor repeater for them? What is with the G-Shock Alliance?

Whew! Time to buy that variant of the G-Shock. I've been mulling about that for years.....

Thanks again bro. Bogeyman.....
