The engineering in these watches, man

I was in a phase of wearing other watches I own, so my T200 was safely in its box on my nightstand for around two months. Decided today to wear it. As soon as I get it out, it comes out of power saving mode, the date snaps to the correct day, and the hands wind themselves to the correct time.

Was in a dark room earlier and noticed I could read the time easily thanks to lume on the hands and pips.

I know it isnt earthshattering, but for around £250 you have a watch that just does so much and is so cool, so much tech and quality in it, and a very comfy bracelet as well.

The Royal Pop release is genuinely hilarious because its almost like Swatch and AP know it looks like a free cereal box gift, but mindless idiots are still gonna buy it anyway, proving yet again that watches are a great example of late stage capitalism

Want it? No. Need it? No. Well made? No. Good at its primary function? No.

Does it have a luxury brand name on it? Yes = MUST BUY.

Literally a piece of plastic tat that probably costs a few quid at most to make, and Swatch will laugh all the way to the bank just as they did with the Omega and Blancpain crossovers.

Was first introduced to this saying on the M2 loading screen. I probably quote it at least once a day, especially while watching reality TV

'Omg Rolex is washed, Lange should be in golden trio etc. Etc, the new Omega has a flawed design' while bros have never seen an Omega in person and would get tasered if they loitered outside a Rolex Dealership for too long. Why not pay more attention to watches and trends in your actual price points.

I dont get the BelCanto, I never have. People go fucking nuts for it, even CW haters will say 'but I like the Belcanto'. Why? It looks goofy as Hell and is isanely expensive for what it actually gives you. The cheapest i can find on C24 currently is almost £2.5k. Some are over £5k. You can get hundreds of nicer, better value watches for that.

As well, watches that have the actual watch face as a secondary dial are always anathaema to me, you are literally making the watch's primary function secondary to a random gimmick. There is also no second hand, no date window, no day window, no moonphase, tachometer, nothing. All you are getting for all that money is a watch that makes a noise on the hour, like an F-91 does.

And im sorry, the chime noise is nice, charming even, the first few times, but once you realise it sounds like your nan's microwave telling you your M&S big night in meal for one is ready, it somewhat loses its charm.

Bel Canto?

Bel Sideshow, more like.
