Any watch nerds on here? I scored a G shock DW5600c for $26 on the ol’ auction site ---

Unsure if smart watches count. I have never been a watch person as I’m not keen on having anything on my wrist for comfort reasons, but I was curious about the whole smart watch thing. Picked up a used pixel watch for $80 with a super comfortable band, and I am loving it. ![1000005386](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/1/5/615dbd97f38600b083ecb7a13fdff78ea8817837.jpeg) ---

Wouldn’t call myself a watch nerd, but I used to have quite a bit myself before the sell off. I LOVE those square g shocks! Awesome piece and a fantastic price. I moved to an Apple Watch Ultra, but my last g shock will make an appearance every so often. ---

I unfortunately end up breaking smart watches, g shocks are excellent lol. I’d like an Apple Watch at some point but I feel like I wouldn’t wear it enough to justify buying one. Which g shock do you have? ---

I work in a wet and dirty environment so gshock is the way to go. When I’m not at work you can catch me wearing a variety of Casios, a timex weekender, a pretty nice pagani mechanical I got on AliExpress for like $60 which is an “homage” to some out of production Rolex, or my grandfathers vintage seiko he gave to me before he passed. I’ll get pics of those later. I don’t understand the draw of smartwatches. I really couldn’t imagine getting emails on my wrist lol ---

I had 3 Seiko. One is still here, but needs a battery. Those things are fantastic. It kept the time perfectly until the battery died. If I ever get into watches again, I’m going right for a Seiko Prospex. I had one with a sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel. I miss that one. Smart watches are specific for sure. I have different do not disturbs for mine when I’m out. But I like checking on my funky heart and body temp at night. I also like checking the temp and uv index instantly. I’m beyond hopeless at remembering things on a bad day so having it lead me back to my car in a packed lot is nice. Otherwise I’d be rocking a Mudmaster or Regulus. ---

I enjoy a good dive watch lol, I wouldn’t spend thousands on a dive watch but I’ve had plenty of cheaper iso rated dive watches. I appreciate the sturdiness of them and the rotating bezel most have does come in handy. I don’t dive btw but would absolutely love to scuba dive in the future Edit: screw down crowns are nice too 🤙 ---
