My missus brought me a Casio WSD-F21hr the other week. It's an outdoorsy smartwatch, with gadgets i probably wont use... It's not my usual thing. Never had a smart watch before, my previous watch was and still is a Citizen Eco-Drive U600 from about 2007. She brought me that as well and it works perfectly. I guess she feels i need to be dragged into the next century, even against my will... Im not really convinced. It's a nice toy, lots of information on it, with onboard sensors. I suppose i best get lost in the wild somewhere and try to get myself to safety to feel authentic.

I've got a ProTrek that's something similar. No good to me in winter as it doesn't get enough daylight to stay charged.

My previous watch was a solar one, the eco drive. But this one needs charging every 2 days or so. It isn't solar. It has a long life mode which apparently last 30 days. Not tried the accuracy of those claims yet. It is very different to what im used to.

My latest daily timepiece. Now I'm no longer having daily fisticuffs for a living the G-Shock has been semi retired and replaced with a Devil Diver.
More testosterone than a Burt Reynolds chest wig. It gets more admiring comments than my Tudor or Doxa do.

The 80s are calling and want their watch back. Did that fall through a hole in time ? 😂
Top spot Dirk, however Mrs Stephec isn't too impressed by my new found interest. 😄I bought a replica 1960s submariners watch off eBay a couple of weeks ago.
Nice clear face, keeps good time and looks good. Feels nice and solid on the wrist.
Loads of other replicas available from 'Eaglemoss'.
Mine cost £4.89 Inc p&p.

More like the late 60's!
It's a reissue of a 1968 model. Thats the year the planet sucdenly became a little bit more awesome, and thats part of the reason I chose the model.

Given no-one bought me a birthday present I've bought a Skagen Falster 2 smartwatch to try and a second Skagen from their sale.
£100 (£270 RRP) and £32 (£122 RRP) spent - well I do live in Yorkshire
Skagen smartwatch is taking some getting used to: it's not picked up I ride more than walk despite linking Strava so keeps telling me to move more.
