Enjoying this Skmei 2543 more than i expected!

Bought this white/blue model for 5$ for our family/friends sup river rafting (or surfing?) 1 month ago. Now its my everyday summer watch 😁

its fun, its not super colorful and plastic bright, its like muted blue with white and a little bit of orange on buttons. Got my first pike from sup while wife was rowing ahaha 😂

Functionality is all i need for now - just a time (with second time zone which will be good for travel), timer, stop watch, 1 alarm 🙂 comfortable soft strap, waterproof tested (but not for swimming), 1 minute ahead for that 1 month is ok for me too.

Thats it i think. If you are looking for this kind of summer watch - take a look on that 2543 (another colors are available too but not so cool...).

Got my supboard watch :)

Unfortunately there was heavy rain so no sup for us 🫣

Maybe this weekend will be nicer and more sunny.

Im very gappy with this one, looks not so boring as black octagonal models. More like summer vacation watch to me 😁

Are there any sales on this watches?

Hi guys. Recently i was waiting 3 weeks for my first watch delivery from China. I bought exactly this model (twc001200) for my birthday but when the order arrived... It was another model (t499 something) with dark leather strap and i think darker dial. I rejected the order back.

So i started to look for another chance and see this on Amazon for 55$. Another 20$ will cost shipping to my country, but my question is this - how often i could expect any sales on this expedition scout model?

Maybe i should look somewhere else? I dont know any big online stores except Amazon yet (with delivery to box office or something like that)...

Wild strawberry with 5D

Sorry guys, cant show you the portraits but 5D is amazing as always. There was sunny day and you could clearly see very bright zones on the photos and a lot of contrast too, but it is what it is i guess... I like how it looks and no regret on taking 5D with me on that bike ride!
P.S. Almost unedited for me - imported in LR, Camera Standart profile + a little bit of highlights recovery\shadow uplifting (around 20-30 point), +10 vibrance.
P.P.S. all on 50 1.8 STM lens

Well... My first watches - TPW

Decided to try watches in my life (43 y.o.) and bought these 2 models. Costs me 7.3$ each. Crazy, huh...

Today they were delivered. Discovered for myself that i like field watches a lot. As you can see even not pushed away crown plug yet 😬

So far i like quality of the watches. Of course i dont expect much for this price but i hope they will work well and time wont lag much.

Strap is the weak point, i already clearly see it. Its very cheap and i suppose wont be very comfortable, but its ok. You can always order more from Ali 😁

Now im waiting for my birthday present delivery and it will be anothe field watch (its Timex expedition scout in silver and cream with leather straps for x10 TPW price). I want to compare those TPW with Timex, it will be very interesting...

Thank you for your attention if you read it till the end - you rock! 🤘

Will mirrorless last so long?

This is the worst condition of cameras i ever saw. Its on sale now with 3160000 shots (probably even more, seems like near 10 mil to me), screen isnt working, some minor parts missing. Still working though.

I wonder if mirrorless will last so long?

What stories that camera could tell..?
