Anyone heard of Christopher Ward? Discovered them a few months ago and love some of the pieces on their site. Such good quality for a low price (some call it the Rolex of the internet..)

 

Got one of these to satisfy an itch I had for a Tag Heuer Carrera..

OK, right now I'm wearing the Orient Bambino V3 Gen 2, not an expensive watch, but was my first proper automatic I bought back in 2017. One of 2 Orient's I own, the second being the Orient Star Retrograde.

I'm currently rocking another one from Tokyo Flash. This time it's the Pimp. It's pretty stylish, but it eats through batteries as it does a full LED display every two minutes between 6pm and 1am, as this is "Pimp Time". It also means you have to keep it in another room if you go to bed before 1am as it'll light up the room.

Hello. What's the build quality like on these Tokyo Flash watches. They're all upwards of £150. Are the workings and tech of a suitable quality or a re e they a bit mutton dressed up as lamb? Some of them do look a bit toyish.

Cheers for coming back on that. I'm trying to understand if they're more a gimmick watch. How do the feel? Robust , Solid? That LED one looks fantastic in the pictures. I generally wear a £50 G Shock. Which does what it says on the tin. It's not showy and I'm not afraid of it getting damaged.  Is that something I'd need to be wary of with a Tokyo flash one?

I have other dress watches and a Fitbit Blaze. I've not been impressed by the Fitbit. It has pretty much fallen apart. It's not like I've been rough with either.

The Tissot is my favourite to wear when going out.

I think you need a second watch holder....but a nice problem to have! Nice Tissot....I've been considering buying a Tissot Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80, a nice heritage line from a heritage brand & a cool movement.
