| I kept going back to the @noduswatches booth at the @windupwatchfair because of the pink Unity. I didn’t manage to get a decent photo of it but it’s incredible and very well sized. Truly a watch for any wrist. (Instagram) | |
| At last year’s @windupwatchfair I bought this @balticwatches Aquascaphe on a rubber strap. At this year’s fair, I picked up the bracelet for it. It’s really comfy and looks great. :) (Instagram) | |

| @49crowns, the Bay Area watch enthusiast group I’m in, did a custom order of @erikasoriginals straps with our club’s logo on the clasp. I picked up two—a navy blue one for my @balticwatches Aquascaphe, and a gray one I’ve put on my @sericawatches 4512. (Instagram) | |

| This watch isn’t Seiko’s best connection to space. The Rotocall is. It’s flown on more missions than any watch other than Omegas and the DW-5600. I coincidentally [wrote a blog post about it the other day](https://tess.oconnor.cx/2022/08/rotocall). (r/Watches) | |
| I wear my watch on my left wrist, probably because my dad (a rightie) does, but I don’t remember. When I’ve tried to wear one on the right as an adult, it’s felt super weird.
I also play guitar rightie, which helped with fretwork originally but has doomed me to terrible pick work. (r/Watches) | |
| If you don't wear it that often, you have to get it going each time you wear it. With an automatic that also hand winds, you just give it a few winds, set it, and strap it on. With one that doesn't, you end up wiggling the watch around a bunch before setting it. (r/Seiko) | |
| Thanks! :) (r/Watches) | |
| That looks awesome! How's the bracelet? (r/JapaneseWatches) | |
| It's a fun watch at a great size—I have two, the 803 and the 809—but the lack of hand winding on the 7S26 movement drives me nuts, so they don't get much wear. (r/Seiko) | |
| [SOTC] It's my cake day, so here's a cake day SOTC for y'all (r/Watches) | |

| Love it! (r/gshock) | |
| Picked up an @omega × @swatch “Mission to Uranus” Speedmaster Moonswatch at @swatch_us’ Powell St. store today, about five months after trying and failing to get one on launch day. I’ve stopped by the store a half a dozen times since then, but they were always out of them. (Instagram) | |
| I have and love them both. But if I could only keep one, I'd keep the GWM5610U-1. At the end of the day it's just more legible. That said, the GW6900-1 is fucking great. You'd be happy with either, I'm sure. (r/gshock) | |
| They still release a bunch of digital watches under various subbrands like Alba, and even have Seiko-branded digitals like the [Prospex SBEP “digi-Tunas”](https://wornandwound.com/introducing-seikos-prospex-digi-tunas-ref-sbep001-sbep003-sbep005-sbep007-and-sbep009/). But yeah, overall they’ve moved away from digital and I wish they’d retained more of it. (r/Seiko) | |

| I own one (a small quartz Tank Must, model WSTA0042, with both the leather strap and the bracelet), and it’s fanstastic. Doesn’t bother me whatsoever that it’s quartz. Looks fantastic. People like what they like. Go for it. (r/Watches) | |

| I've been looking to add a pilot's watch to my collection for years and I think I've finally found the one: Seiko's Prosper Sky Navitimer SRPB59. I picked one up on Chrono24 the other day. I believe the model is from 2017. and I think they only made them for a year or so. I feel like I keep a pretty good eye on JDM sites like `sakurawatches` but had never even heard of this until a month or so ago.
I *want* to like the Breitling Navitimer, but ultimately I'm put off by the busy dial. I mean, until this watch, every watch with a slide rule bezel I’d ever seen are chronographs with two or three subdials. Not here though. The SRPB59's dial is very clean and legible. The slide rule is the only busy thing about it.
Size wise, I'm a member of the IBWC and this is just about the biggest watch I can get away with. It's a bit of a stretch, but the lugs don't stick out past my wrist so I'm calling it a win.
The leather strap it came on (see photo 3) is surprisingly good, but I’ve swapped it out for a Strap Habit × Brodinkee “Real Men Wear Pink” sailcloth strap which, in addition to looking great and being comfortable AF, raises money for breast cancer research. The watch itself is so masc I really need the strap to femme it up. (r/Watches) | |

| Out of the ur-diver design languages, the FF is definitely my favorite, especially as a watch nerd who's a woman. Its design is way more femme than a Submariner. (r/Watches) | |
| Put my @balticwatches #aquascaphe on a leather @hermes single tour strap. (Instagram) | |

| This polka dot strap femmes up my @balticwatches diver nicely. (Instagram) | |
| Update: I got the Aquascaphe, and I love it! (r/Watches) | |
| These are both great. Personally, I don't like the outsized power reserve indicator on the SSA345, but that's just me. (r/Watches) | |

| I love your OP-1!!!! (r/Watches) | |
| I would by a Casio Duro in blue. It’s cheap as hell (<$70), looks like a classic diver, is water resistant to 200 meters, and if you lose it or it gets stolen while on the trip it’s no big deal. (r/Watches) | |
| I love wearing my Tank with casual outfits. It dresses up or dresses down extremely well. (r/Watches) | |
| I love love love the Han numbers on the bezel! (r/Watches) | |
| It's really fun. I wanted to go with something iconic. Like, if you're going to own a Swatch, it should be the Swatch-iest Swatch, you know? (r/Watches) | |
| Sorry? (r/Watches) | |

| Not pictured: a broken [SNK809](https://www.chrono24.com/seiko/ref-snk809k2.htm) I keep meaning to get repaired. (r/Watches) | |
| There's nothing digital and nothing with lots of complications. I'm contemplating a couple of different Casio digital watches: the [A159WGEA-1VT](https://www.casio.com/products/watches/vintage/a159wgea-1vt) or maybe a classic G-Shock like the [DW5600E-1V](https://www.casio.com/products/watches/g-shock/dw5600e-1v). (r/Watches) | |
| I love it. It's sturdy as all hell & doesn't add any unnecessary complexity to its classic field watch lines. (r/Watches) | |

The Seamaster was my grandfather's; I put it on an [Artem sailcloth strap](https://artemstraps.com/products/classic-black-sailcloth-watch-strap-with-black-stitching). It and the Bertucci are the two watches I kept from my pre-transition collection. The Boulevard was my first watch purchase after transitioning; as fashion watches go, I love its simplicity & the mother-of-pearl face. I gave myself the Tank as a promotion present, and the Swatch is so much fun (but surprisingly LOUD. Is it just me, or do these things put out a surprising number of decibels with each tick?)

| My mother went to Europe on holiday at some point in the late sixties, and Geneva was one of the cities she visited. She asked her dad (my grandfather) for advice on what to get for her brother as a gift. He described in some detail [the watch she should get him](https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watch-omega-seamaster-cosmic-cd-166-0036), right off the top of his head. When she was buying the watch for her brother, she thought back to that conversation and decided to buy two of them—one for her brother, and one for her dad. My uncle still wears his, and my grandfather's has been mine since he passed in the 80s.
I don't know what he would make of having a queer, trans granddaughter, but I think he would be happy his watch is still getting worn. (r/Watches) | |
