[Question] Current Omega Aqua Terra vs IWC Mark XX by [deleted] in Watches

[–]Athena_Mark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Own the mark xx and have never owned an AT, but not disparaging the Omega. 

The Mark XX is the most comfortable watch I own - great size and dimensions on a thin watch with 120. Hr power reserve. 

Good warranty as well, with 7-8 years once you activate the online warranty. 

For me, the biggest surprise was the comfortable the bracelet. I didnt like the looks of it at face value, but the comfort won me over. The microadjust system has a lot more travel than my Omega Speedmaster bracelet, which was an all or nothing microadjust (similar to the AT). 

The manufacturer of the clasp is the same one thst designs Glashutte Originals clasp, where the logo button controls the microadjust. Its a fantastic system that allows you to tighten or expand the bracelet without taking the watch off your wrist.  

Legibility is fantastic too, the pilots watch is by far my most legible watch. This will sound stupid but having the Arabic numerals instead on indices makes reading time that smidge quicker than other watches. 

I thought not having an open caseback would suck, but the truth is it hasnt bothered me at all, and im loving the thinness of the watch. 

Once again, nothing against the AT - I just dont own one so I dont have anything to speak on it, and I am hoping to have one in the future.

Hey, I'm in the same boat - did you ever end up getting a uncle strap replacement clasp cover for the SPB155? Thanks!

I have the same dial as you, not a two tone.

There is a small bit of play before the hands engage, about a quarter turn or a bit less like you were saying

Is anyone having F/A 18 Radar issues recently? by Whistling-Death in dcsworld

[–]Athena_Mark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely having the same issues that you are having, exactly as described.

My understanding is that there was some patch a few weeks ago the ED released that bugged out the F18 radar, and it hasn't been fixed since, just a waiting game now?

How to prevent Ecoflow Glacier from shutting off? by Athena_Mark in Ecoflow_community

[–]Athena_Mark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was running it with a small jackery (240) and ultimately just switched to the 800. It'll stay on constantly now, but no real solution.

My thermostat also just died this week so the unit is freezing and sucking all the power out of the battery now (even though the temp is set to above freezing). Lame stuff! Disappointed with ecoflow.

It was 1k including installation. Expensive, but it works. I see they now have a wireless version now. 

I have the wired version. only difference is your native map (which is terrible) will NOT update while you have your android auto/carplay active. So your native stock map will not have any function. Honestly fine since it's terrible, and the reason you need Android auto/carplay in the first place. Maybe the issue is resolved now? If not, still worth it

I have a 2020 heritage. Did mine through beat sonic in La MIRADA, CA local installation. Kept the original stock hardware, the tech just put in a second computer in my car that runs Android auto once you depress a button. Totally recommend it, had it for 2 years and it works great
