Salut à tous !

Ma fiancée veut m'offrir une montre pour nos fiançailles. Budget inconnu, mais je l'estime entre 300 et 500 €. J'aimerais lui glisser une petite shortlist.

J'ai déjà : une Seiko SKX007, une Sea-Gull 1963 et une Casio Baby-G.

Ce que je cherche :
* une montre à porter tous les jours, robuste et fiable

* un style plongeuse ou montre outil, plutôt sobre et vintage (mon graal, c'est la Rolex 5513) ;
pas trop proche de ma SKX

*de préférence un mouvement maison, mécanique de préférence, mais je suis ouvert au quartz ou au solaire

* une vraie histoire et de l'authenticité : plutôt une montre modeste mais sincère qu'un nom historique racheté ou un hommage

* du neuf, pour éviter les galères du vintage.

Déjà envisagées : Vostok Amphibia (dans la liste), Citizen Promaster, Sturmanskie Gagarin (le contrôle qualité m'inquiète), Orient Kamasu (trop proche de ma SKX), Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms (mouvement non réparable).

Vous auriez quoi à me conseiller ? Si la montre a une belle histoire que ma fiancée pourrait raconter en me l'offrant, c'est encore mieux !

Merci d'avance 🙏

Hi !

I just bought an 8bitDo Adapter 2 mainly so I'd stop fighting with Windows Bluetooth, and it's been a bit of a mixed bag.

With my old pad from an Xbox One S 1TB bundle (1708, firmware is ancient, never touched it) it's honestly fine. Press the Xbox button and it's connected before I've sat down. The only annoyance is that if the link drops for any other reason (if the Switch goes to sleep for instance) it won't come back on its own, I have to hold the Xbox button to switch the pad off and on again. Happens every time the Switch sleeps and wakes up. But it’s still really annoying.

Then I grabbed my Robot White (1914, QAS-00009) and updated it to the latest MS firmware, and that one is rough. 15 seconds or so to reconnect on Windows, and when I unplugged the dongle from the Switch and moved it to my Mac it sat there for about 40 seconds. A few times it never connected and I just redid the pairing.

Already on adapter fw v1.10, already reset the dongle and repaired from scratch, and the pad isn't paired to anything else over Bluetooth. Same USB port, same spot on the couch, so the only variable is which pad I pick up.

Is this a known thing with the newer Series pads on recent firmware? Curious whether anyone here gets fast reconnects with a 1914, because if it works fine for you lot then maybe mine's just a dud.
