I never touch my Bezel... Sends shivers down my spine just thinking of it!!
I use Endomondo on my phone for my walks!
I don't mind the clicking but I always leave mine two minutes past the hour.
What watch do you wear?

Mondo directed me to the tool from the jungle which I've now ordered.- the original metal strap for mine is a bit blingy for my tastes but it'll do until I can get a replacement leather
You also have tiny arms- remember, you can't "pull" off that jacket
THE BUILD!!!! Bunch of internet nonsense though
By the way, be careful of cheap eBay tools. Most of them are cheap for a reason. I've had a few and they all break/become loose or the heads wear after a couple of uses. Is the risk of potentially scratching your case worth the price! Although using a flathead alone has a risk too but at least it will be a quality flathead that won't wear down because the metal is so soft.

Hah yes the build. And of course its nonsense! I haven't got the stereotypical build for sleeve tattoos but there you go
I've ordered a £5 one from Amazon.

Seeing as a winder has just been posted, I took a look online and there is a variety of winders out there. Is there such a thing as a good brand or are they all simply something which winds the watches when not in use?
E.g
On amazon there is a single watch winder for 50quid while there is another one for 180quid. What would make the latter 130quid 'better'
For a good budget model, try Modalo.
Whatever you do don't buy a Piccolo. They're noisy and the cup holding the watch came loose on mine making even more noise when rotating
I sent my Piccolo back for the Modalo 2-watch winder with 3-watch storage and it's faultless/mouse-quiet - mine's next to my pillow and I can't hear it at all.

It was the Modalo that i was looking at when i posted here. Thought they looked nice enough but wanted a bit of feedback to someone who had one compared to others they may have tried. Cheers

Now this is how a dive watch should always be tested, by leaving it in salt water seabeds for 6 months :d

That black is beautiful too.

The black model yours for only £450.00 !

It's a quartz of course hence the price I guess but there's no denying the tool functionality I suppose

New buyers will like that it's being advertised with that kind of testing I guess. While most of us know that a good diver will last in such conditions just fine many out there won't so it's nice for them to see the affect such conditions have on a watch, more so one they may be interested in buying!
Being a new British brand I guess this is one important factor too.

Nothing great here, 
mind you the green one I use for work was bought back in 2001 for £9.99 and still works fine, and I have only had to change the battery once.

I don't like this anywhere near as much as the Darkside. The colour looks faded out of the box.
That’s not a test – it’s a product showcase.
For a test to mean anything it needs to be carried out independently. They aren’t going to show a negative impact on their own product.
It would be interesting to see how it handled magnetism, which is something everyday people are more likely to have exposure to.

Still not a fan of Seamasters / POs

Yuh-huh...you were not going to upgrade your watch either! #justsayin
Side note, my watch strap tool thingy arrived today. Should be interesting later!

Oh I was always going to upgrade, I just wasn't intending on selling the HydroConquest and instead keeping it on rotation... But then after wearing the Tudor I saw no reason I'd ever want to wear the Longines again, that and the guy from Hawaii made me a killer offer I couldn't say no
That doesn't change the fact that I just can't see anything that grabs me about Omega's styling!

any of them? , they have a pretty diverse range
Man of Honour
Na mostly the SMP and PO range as mentioned above!
It's like Tags too, I hate most of their designs apart from the one and only Monaco. I will own one of those. Just not yet as I don't feel they are worth their rrp or even used price for how they feel, I just love the style.
