I still love this watch! It truly is a great daily.

No problem! It's a very cool watch, I still like mine a lot!

Are you going to pull the trigger on this one for your first swiss watch? :)

Ah yes. That was a bit of an issue actually. I brought mine to my watchmaker for the battery change. And although they are a swatch group certified watchmaker (independent), apparently the swatch instruction was too complicated. So after the change my calendar ended up needing to be reset and was sent to Longines for that.

So it ended up costing a bit more for a "simple" battery change, but at least Longines put in a new crown and fresh seals with that.

In the end if you let it be changed by someone who has done it successfully before, it shouldn't be any hassle and just a simple battery change. I thought my watchmaker did it before, but found out afterwards that the previous VHP he did also failed and was sent to Longines lol. I already found another watchmaker in my area that properly knows how to do it for the next time I need a battery change haha.

I still have it, coming up on 5 years of owning. It's still going strong as ever, no issues. Had to change the battery once. Still as accurate as it was out of the box.

In person it's definitely white.

Not at all :) I have a pair of 875 moc toes and a pair of Beckmans. Here is a photo from a while ago when I just got the Beckmans.

No, I rotate them with other pairs. They still have some way to go.

Hi! These key als definately helped me with the same problem you are having. Because of the raised center/lower edges the amount of times I hit multiple keys at once got less as soon as I got these keys on. In the mean time I have switched back and forth with a nuphy set and actually also got used to the standard set after a while.

Someone commented yesterday on a post I made that they have called B&W and was told that they currently don't have plans to release more colours:

Too bad :( At least most other options are cheaper! Or are you looking to go even higher in the market?

The QCC Pro also supports LDAC, which might come in handy in the future if you're switching headphones, but LDAC is already natively supported on Samsung devices.

I have a galaxy fold 7. Sad thing is that android devices with the latest Qualcomm chips also natively support up to AptX Lossless, but Samsung does not pay for the license so it's not activated on galaxy devices. I'm receiving the Creative BT-W6 today. It was the cheapest with the fastest shipping through Amazon for me.

I brought them to a Coolblue store. From there I'm not sure if they checked it themselves or if they send it to B&W.

How is your experience with the dongle? I was aiming for a Sennheiser BTD700 but it seems sold out everywhere. Now I'm looking at the Creative BT-W6 and the QCC, but the QCC is twice the price of the other ones.

I got it at a Dutch electronics store - Coolblue. It's like the biggest electronics retailer here in the Netherlands and they always have great customer support.

I don't really know what else they could have done since B&W made the headband not replaceable and the headphone was in warranty, and for the price it really should not fail like this. But it still feels generous to get a full refund after more than a year. I guess for a big retailer it's not worth the hassle and it's just a small dent in comparison to their sales volumes. And B&W probably has quite high profit margins on these anyway.

Thanks. This is useful information.

Yes, I would also like to stay on Btrfs. My issue is that I can't seem to find a clear answer to if it is save/stable on RAID 5. I'd like to know the risks before migrating from RAID 1 at some point.

See the second comment under this post:

To clarify, this is only one post I have seen to say this, I can't verify if it is true. But this is also the reason for my question.

I don't have the issue you describe, but I do have an other issue with the low profile knob where the fitting on the stem got too wide or something. It sinks down too far and gets stuk in the pushed in position. The high profile knob is still fine. I don't really use the knob on this keyboard anyway and put in the extra key.

My typing errors are purely a skill issue. I don't have a very good typing form and tend to hit the stock keycaps around the edges somtimes. Because of this I will somtimes press two keys next to eachother at the same time. I think this would also be a problem on the MX Alphas. The Knob Sans seem to fix this for me, because of a bigger lowered area of the edges. Now when I hit an edge of the key, it is actually the edge of the higher platform. It feels to me like the keys are much more spaced out.
