New watch

Lovely watch, really like the blue and silver combination and the font used is a nice change... But the watch is clearly lacking features, I mean, I had a Casio 10 years ago that could change TV channels ;).
 
I honestly don't get why someone would need to spend so much on a watch, or well any fashion item ( spending so much on a watch is not a functional thing, the same functions could be provided by a 50 € watch).

I mean sure, it looks okay, but spend thousands for THAT :confused:.

Oh well perhaps I'm just too poor to understand :D.

A challenge:

Find me a €50 that is 1000m water resistant, that will hold its value like this one and is built as well. If you do, I will buy you one.


The point is, it's his money, he isn't going to lose anything on it and it's something he wants. He bought a £70k+ Porsche which was a much stupider purchase than this watch (no offence Spie, it was awesome :D) as it would lose value fairly quickly.

Erm, spie is going to dive 1000m ? His body will collapse of the pressure long before? So what it's 1km water resistant, up to 50 meters or whatever is more than enough ? It adds no true function.

You don't need 50€ to hold it's value...
It's a watch, it tells you the time.
You throw it away when it breaks.

Erm? No, a Porsche gives you fun and also has a clock inside, and it moves you from A to B. The Porsche was an awesome buy :D ( imo then).

I'm not protesting that, but I'm trying to figure out why, not just him but also others in general, why do you want a watch so expensive above other things. I could go on all day what I'd prefer to have for such a price than just a watch.

Why do you have a £40 keyboard when a £5 will do the same?

25 quid you mean.


Erm no a 5 quid one won't do the same, I won't see the keys when it's dark ( no I don't blind type, I look at my kb), I won't have any media keys ( which I use nonstop, it's much easier to reach than my speakers volume control or mute buttons, plus dedicated keys to toggle through songs while ingame) . A thing that gives me an extra usb port ( I'm short of usb ports as it is, any hub is a welcome addon). And with programmable keys to launch apps quickly for example.


It saves loads of effort and time.

Show me a 5 quid keyboard that does all that, because unlike diving to 1000m, I use the functions on my kb daily ?
Thing is, my keyboard gives me functions for the extra cash which I use all the time, a watch costing into the thousands won't do much more daily than one for 50€, or even 15€ for that matter.

Turn a light on or learn to type.

I had a £3 keyboard at one point with all that, and I just found one with backlighting, media keys etc. for under £8.
 
Nice that. I'm not normally a fan of busy watches but that one is subtle enough that it's still easy to read, however I suspect it's too expensive for my personal taste (I'd be afraid of wearing it for fear of clattering it like I do my Seikos).

I only like digital watches, too hard to tell the time quickly and accurately.

If you need accuracy to the second then yes, but how often do you actually need that? For getting a sufficient approximation of the current time a quick glance at an analogue watch wins every time for me.
 
just got my self one of these a few weeks ago, just waiting for the steel version to arrive

lovely watch Mark :cool:

I'm so bored at people that cry about expensive watches claiming them to be a waste of money, to me your prized collection of warhammer 40,000 lead minatures is an extravegance but I hold my tongue.

good watches are a very stable investment (ignore tag's for that comment!) and whilst enjoyable to view and tell the time by when you get bored you can flog them on and get the majority of your money back. So yeah £5000 for a watch is fair few quid but if you have that sitting in an account why not enjoy it rather than accruing pitiful interest on it.

rant over :p
 
Nice watch. I like.

Ops! :p Guess I'll keep my opinions about expensive watches (and other expensive e-penis items) to myself then! :p
 
A watch should be simple and preferably have a clock face on or I suppose digital! A watch is a watch. :)
