Titanium always feels great!

​ Hi everyone,

I have a question, please share your knowledge in the comments.

"Which is the thinnest Grade 5 Titanium Quartz watch in the world as of today?"

My first automatic watch was a Tissot Seastar 80. I basically bought it because I thought owning an automatic watch would be cool, and it was one of the first reasonably affordable Swiss automatics I found at a local watch dealer.
Once I started getting more interested in watches, though, I realized that the design and especially the wearing comfort weren’t really what I was looking for. I still liked the watch, but I just didn’t wear it that often.
Funny enough, the watch I ended up wearing the most was a Casio Duro that I had imported from the US specifically because I wanted the version with the marlin on the dial. It was cheap, comfortable, flat and just worked for everything. The only thing that always bothered me was that it wasn’t automatic.
For work I have other watches anyway, usually my Hamilton Murph or my Studio Underd0g. What I was still missing was an automatic “beater”: something for everyday life, holidays, sports, swimming, cycling and basically anything where I don’t want to think about the watch on my wrist.
I spent probably six months looking at different options before ending up with the Citizen Promaster Fujitsubo NB6021.
The titanium case was one of the main reasons. It’s incredibly light, and I paired it with a stretchy elastic strap. My wrist size changes quite a lot throughout the day, especially when it’s warm, so this combination is perfect for me. The strap has a little bit of give and can also be adjusted in seconds.
I just finished my first holiday with it and basically did everything while wearing it. Fishing, swimming, cycling, weight Lifting, Fitness, getting it wet and dirty. It still looks almost exactly like it did on day one and, more importantly, it was comfortable the entire time.

Well, the day has come! After over a year of searching, I was recently able to source a used Hamilton x Engineered Garments Khaki Field Ti 36mm through r/WatchExchangeCanada.

I have fallen in love with my vintage 35mm Epsilon Alba as a "beater" and came to the realization that my daily had to be Ti as well... once you get used to the (lack of) weight, it's hard to go back to stainless. Tickled!

Does anyone have experience with CIGA Design watches?

The Hunter titanium has been taking up some space in my brain and it somehow seems a little too good to be true. Grade 5 titanium, unique look skeletonization to the extreme, in house movement.

Curious if anyone has a first hand perspective and can share. There was an article on time and tide this past week, but that was a placement, not editorial.

After a few days with my Watchdives EXD 40mm black titanium, I’m a little embarrassed to admit how much I love this $100 watch.

Here’s my question - are there any higher end <$1K titanium dive watches out there in roughly the same dimensions (40mm bezel, 48mm lug-to-lug, 10.6mm thick), with the black finish? I have skinny wrists & have really struggled finding something that fit me just right.

After managing to secure an order on the last drop by the skin of my teeth (this model sold out in under 6 minutes), it finally came today after much anticipation. I ordered an OEM Ti bracelet that I’ll size up at a later time, but for now I have it paired with this WOE Glomar olive strap. I think I might stick with this combo for a while, thrilled with the look and feel of the watch so far and it’s so comfortable. I’m a sucker for HAQ, and I think this will be my grab-and-go diver for many years to come.

For reference, I have a 17cm wrist and photo is shot at 2x on iPhone.

I have Casio titanium 7 years ago for everyday watch. It still running fine and use it most of the time. 4 years ago bought smartwatch Huawei GT2 Pro because...it is the new thing. Used it for 1 year almost everyday, tired of the size even though it is nice to have options to change the face. 2 years ago bought Zeppelin to taste the automatic watch. Nice dress watch. And today I added Boldr, black titanium and black face. Looks beautiful, will start to wear it on Monday to the office.

Got my first Tag Heuer last month and I really like how it looks. It is an Aquaracer Solargraph with a full titanium body.

Watches on the Ti Field Guide range from $68 to $533k. I don’t really need a $533k GP minute repeater tourbillion, but I felt like I did need to see this one.

For $68, I am utterly shocked by the quality of this thing. Nothing fancy about it, but everything about it is solid.

Watch is thin and light, though solid feeling. Finishing is clean and even. Applied markers sparkle in the sun and the subtle pattern on the dial looks kind of great. Strap isn’t my taste and I’ll probably swap it out, but it’s soft and comfy. Took about two weeks to arrive in the US from China, exactly as promised.

Only complaint is a common one with quartz watches - they somehow managed to get the seconds hand ticking in exactly the wrong place - the midpoint between the ticks. But only between about :55 and :30. For 25 seconds each minute, it ticks in the right place. Odd.

I’m glad I’m not in the microbrand business. If the Berny folks figure out branding and marketing, it’s going to be impossible to compete with them.

I'm afraid Snowflake Sunday's on hiatus on account of heaven rain and floods. 🫠

Stay safe out there! 🙏🏻

I found this watch for just 5€

What do you think? I think is amazing for the price

Chat GPT states the longest time between two events is roughly 13.8 billion years, spanning from the Big Bang to present day.

I know this to be false.

It is a scientific fact that the longest time is between the notice that your watch has shipped and its delivery date, roughly 100 billion years.

imo eco-drive + titanium is a killer combination. But automatics work as well. Any recommendations to expand the collection?
