What watch do you wear?

Ooooooh. The watch at the far right (white face - gold rim - brown strap) looks right up my street. I have a watch very similar but it's not great quality. Is Larson Jen a good brand?

Sorry only just seen this! Suprisingly, mine gets quite a lot of comments and with the Milanese straps on people do assume it's an expensive watch.

I'm currently wearing the same as above but in silver with the white face and a Blue/Red/White Nato strap and it looks the dogs :cool:

It's finally been delivered. Hamtun H1 Blue.

And next to my 007

As it has been in a box I am not able to check the lume yet. It is a similar weight to the 007, but does feel more substantial. Changing the length of the bracelet strap will be fun with the amount of tiny screws it takes, but I will have to remove a couple of links before I can wear it. The silicon strap looks much easier to resize as it is ridged in that area and has the same buckle as the bracelet.

That looks substantially thicker that the Seiko, and they're not exactly a thin watch. What does it look like from the side or on the wrist?

Very nice. A quick 10 second flash of the LED torch/flash on the back of your phone will sort the lume right out.

Never even thought of that

The Lume on the blue looks to be slightly better than on the white parts, or maybe its just because it is on a darker starting colour.

It looks to me to be exactly the same thickness.

Cannot really tell due to no side by side comparison. Whats the back like, it looks like the sides have quite a sharpish edge to them rather than being cut back like a lot of diver watches so as not to dig into the skin.

Wow, that is a lot of watch for the money, looks much better than the Christopher Ward dross you see peddled around. Very sharp and minimalist styling, chunky titanium strap, and even lumed bezels. I also like the logo.

Thanks, looks like its a little thinner than the 007 or rather the bezel doesn't sit as high. Does look nice.

pepp77 · 29 Jun 2017 at 11:26

Yeah on the wrist it is definitely a mm or 2 thinner

Looking forward to my white one

Are they available to order?

Skidder · 29 Jun 2017 at 13:44

Not sure if you can order at the moment. I backed on Kickstarter with another member here. I know they will be generally available

And I've still not got a second 1.4mm screwdriver to be able to adjust the strap

I did see on the kickstarter comments that multiple watch orders were last in line. Oh well, no bother, I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

pepp77 · 30 Jun 2017 at 12:52

Finally managed to get two little screwdrivers and was able to remove 2 links from each side so it now fits.

Struggling to get a non fuzzy picture of the lume in the dark, so this is the best I could do

Richdog · 30 Jun 2017 at 14:01

@pepp77 great pictures...

NoobCannon · 30 Jun 2017 at 14:07

@pepp77

Rekon id send that watch back. Looks a little hard to tell the time on

Also cant believe anyone still uses photobucket

pepp77 · 30 Jun 2017 at 14:12

They were showing fine half an hour ago and I use photobucket still as I have loads of photos on there and my phone automatically uploads to there.

Anyone got a Ticwatch 2? I know it's hardly special watch like an Omega or something

Also, anyone know of any shops where one can try on a range of smart watches in London?
