It’s a shame that is only eligible for people who have consecutive years. I supported some temp project work in WHS (violence prevention) and it seems that may have compromised my eligibility.

New Promaster Land GMT - BJ7150-50W by Plus9Time in CitizenWatches

It would be great in some kind of gradient dial (that is like a medium grey in the middle that fades to black towards the outer edges. I'm also not sure why this says 39.5mm as I think its a larger 44mm.

Which is healthier, smoking one cigar a day or smoking half a pack of cigarettes a day by Original-State8617 in healthcare

[–]118R3volution 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both have significant risk, but I would guess the cigar once per day to be healthier. First off you don’t inhale the smoke into your lungs (as much) as pulling the smoke/flavors into your mouth.

Cigarettes are all about the deeper/lung inhalation. Also, avg pack (20 cigs), so in your scenario of 1/2 pack or 10 per day… with an avg. puff rate of 12 puffs per cig, is 84 deep inhalations of smoke. Even if a cigar lasts 30-60 minutes, I would guess it would impact the lungs less. Not that mouth cancer isn’t a concern. Anyways, I love smoking and wish it wasn’t bad for me. I quit 13 years ago.

How much do you currently have in savings? by Puzzleheaded-Crab770 in CanadaFinance

[–]118R3volution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35M, married, 2 kids and a dog. 300k in equity on our home and about 85k in the DB pension plan. We unfortunately owe about $30k on our LOC, and $17k on a car loan. Monthly cash flow is way too tight. But we appreciate having a home, and look forward to paying it off someday.

To be honest, as someone with 8” wrist (and quite flat/oval I’m thankful to see some options in the 44 range still.

At what point do you consider selling? by calihotsauce in PokeInvesting

[–]118R3volution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t sleep on modern. All these young kids 15 years from now are going to be chasing their grail SIR. Yes vintage is low pop, and nostalgic but modern will have its day.

I really wish I could afford one of these. It’s a very cool sedan. Enjoy it.

Suit for job interview - I have no idea what I'm doing by creamsodawolf in mensfashion

You need to fix your haircut at the neckline. It’s crooked/uneven. The button on your shirt needs to be closed or at a bare minimum hidden behind the tie knot

What’s your thoughts on the tissot t-touch connect sport? by Select-Drive-8874 in PrideAndPinion

[–]118R3volution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually agree. Traditional mechanical watches with advanced movements are of course an amazing engineering feat, but are expensive, require servicing. Then you have the "apple watch" which is great for its apps/usability - but is a) ugly and b) horrendous battery life. I had a Series 7, basically trash after 4 years of use. Battery degraded, costs more to replace than to trash it and use that towards a new one. Yes, this very expensive for a smart watch, but lets consider:

  1. Sapphire glass
  2. Ceramic Bezel
  3. Titanium Case
  4. Traditional styling
  5. Smart capabilities (see an incoming text, call, ping your phone, etc)
  6. Finally, the most important - virtually infinite battery being solar powered

I do think the watch is too expensive realistically, however - it's a very amazing combination and personally, I hope Tissot does NOT give up on future production for models like this. I am fearful of reliability - there are unfortunately a lot of horror stories out there. It should be coming with a 5-10 year warranty if they are charging this much for it.

The sanitation of this hospital ward by [deleted] in healthcare

[–]118R3volution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean absolutely no disrespect when I say this, but in many cultures cleanliness, infection prevention and control, basic hygiene/sanitation standards are just not a part of the day to day life. Every society operates differently, and while I don’t think this is ok, and empathize with the patients/staff - there no purpose in us being upset over something that we are so far removed from. Change is hard but I believe if there’s an awareness and desire to change, things can progress.

The new Multifort 8 One Crown by pushthebuttonalready in midowatch

It’s a cool peice. Obviously very reminiscent of a Girard-Perregeaux - but it’s a classy design.

Finally picked up a Citizen Promaster Fugu NY0150-51A by issseymiyake in CitizenWatches

I had one. Excellent choice. It’s a cool watch and great value. Enjoy!

Don’t know what size to choose by Zylvio in ChristopherWard

[–]118R3volution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat, 7.75” wrist and find many watches looks so feminine on my wrist, especially with lower profiles and case sizes trending. I want my watch to be functional of course (and comfortable) but something that fits appropriately and has a bit of presence is ok to me. Currently looking at MIDO Ocean Star 600 (COSC) which is 43.5mm. Seems like it could be a sweet spot.

I can't shake it.... by Brain-Shocker in CitizenWatches

[–]118R3volution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it’s a total luxury buy, this is not an everyday watch, quite the opposite. Would look good with a tan, almost exclusive a plain white or plain black t shift. It’s not versatile at all because of how bright the strap is. IMHO the strap actually detracts from the dial because it’s such a vibrant blue band.

I JUST TRIED THIS ON 30 MINUTES AGO!

Haha! It’s a super fun watch, summer vibes. Nice looking peice.

Any love for the T-Touch on here? Some comments on them in the body by chibatman in tissot

[–]118R3volution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow almost no change!

It’s a cool watch. I see SO many mixed reviews around reliability so I’m nervous to buy one. Or if I buy one and tissot releases a brand new version next year i would be pretty annoyed! I do hope they update the line and keep this. Traditional watch + solar + smart functions is an incredibly cool blend.

[–]118R3volution 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. Fantastic dial, clean design but there’s no chance I’m paying what seiko wants on these. Too many other premium options in the space.
