I need to stop online shopping during lockdown! I think this will be my last watch purchase until I can afford the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16, but that's over 3 grand and this one was just over 300. Maybe that will be a 40th birthday present to myself! I like your optimism of being able to treat yourself once a baby arrives 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members seph Posted June 9, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Garmin Forerunner 735XT. Unlike my last shit watch the unit has native GPS and has space for a bunch of apps and other gubbins. It only lacks in tracing sleep movement. p.s. FUCK SHITBIT.

King Coconut Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I've also been a smartwatch man for a few years. Currently rocking the Samsung Galaxy with all sorts of beautiful straps, but I've also got the TicWatch Pro, Samsung S3, a couple of Fossils. No point in posting any photos in this thread though because they look different every day and would embarrass the tick-tock fools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted June 9, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 9, 2020 Are they all smartwatches? I was not aware that Fossil made smartwatches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPDTT Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I have 1 smart watch in my collection - a Huawei Watch 2 Classic. I'm no fitness freak, but I do like 2 features - inbuilt NFC so I can pay for stuff without getting my phone or wallet out and also handy for skipping through music on the tube when I want to keep my phone in my pocket.

Joe Blog Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I have a £80 Hugo Boss watch and even then I felt it was a bit much to be spending and was in a sale. All this talk of hundreds and thousands for a watch baffles me. I can understand spending a bit more for a smart watch but anything above £50 for a watch just seems extravagant to me. You rich fuckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted June 10, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 10, 2020 That Action Man watch is quality. As regards to Android watches. If you have an android phone then go for an android watch. I have heard good things about them and they can be acquired quite cheaply. Definitely worth doing a bit of research on them. I've had a couple of Fitbits. Overall I've been unimpressed by their build quality. Mine has fallen apart. The strap won't attach to the watch. The display no longer works. It does however still record fitness data. That data can be monitored in the Fitbit app on my phone. I currently wear it under a wrist sweatband. They're overpriced for what they do. I'm fortunate that it was a gift and I didn't have to spend money on it. Their customer service isn't bad. When mine began falling apart they sent me out a replacement, they didn't ask for the old one back. The replacement was a different model. They then sent me out the correct replacement model. I now had my original falling apart Fitbit, the incorrect replacement, and the correct replacement. I tried using the correct replacement one for a while. Unfortunately it would cause a rash on my wrist. This was due to them having changed some of the materials used on the pulse reader. I passed that one onto my nephew. The incorrect replacement went to another nephew. And I'm still using the original falling apart one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind something to help track my sleep, steps, heart rate etc Have a look at the Huawei Watch GT 2. I think it looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would buy some of these: $167,000 $140,000 But the worst has to be the Hublot Mp 05 Laferrari - this watch is on sale at Jomashop for $248,400!!

MPDTT Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) @BigJag I decided to get a watchbox after seeing yours. Thanks for the inspiration! Edited June 21, 2020 by MPDTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
