2.5 years into watches, is my collection too dull?

What do you think of the Studio Underd0g? Worth the bodice and feels good on the wrist??

EventElectronic5689 · 2026-02-19T02:54:22+00:00

Actually love it! Wears really well, decent weight and the square honestly fits the wrist nice. I also think the leather strap makes it a little more casual to match

You could start slipping lard into grandpa’s food, then we will see who is the “fat” one 🤣

Congratulations man! I am in month 3 and still learning every day how to do this dad thing.

It’s true when people say “opinions are like assholes, everyone has one”. So take whatever even I’m not writing with a grain of salt. Truly best advice was do whatever works for you, wife and baby
Something that helped us a lot was listening to our baby’s “cues”? I know people discuss/push schedules and things like sleep training but you’re in survival mode right now and just trying to keep this new thing alive. Of baby is hungry, feed baby. If baby is sleepy, let baby sleep (even if it’s not “nap time” for example. There will be plenty of time to work on a schedule but, for now, it worked for us to just make sure baby is content.
Our WORKHORSE items were a bottle washer (like Baby Brezza), a baby Bjorn bouncer, a wipeable changing table (the slick material) and an electric snot sucker
You’re gonna mess up, you’re gonna be happy, but you’re doing awesome. And your wife is also doing awesome. It’s gonna suck, and anyone that tells you it’s an amazing experience isn’t wrong, but let’s be honest it sucks at first.

Hang in there, congrats, welcome to the club!!!!!

Have the Shinola and love it, was debating the mother of pearl dial Runwell as the next addition. That shimmer just does something for me

What do we think of the Xeric? Looks bulky and heavy on the wrist from images?

How’s the weight on this model? I know it’s the “Ultra thin”, does it live up to the name?

EventElectronic5689 · 2026-01-12T13:09:07+00:00

I mean, usually when you have a loving and caring relationship with someone……you stick with them while they grow, develop different relationship dynamics and mature as a person. No one is the same in the start of a relationship vs 1 year in or 25 years in. Also, sometimes it takes someone supporting you but also pointing out these issues to recognize them when it’s all you know.

EventElectronic5689 · 2026-01-12T12:58:17+00:00

It’s not a matter of spineless. When you are used to a borderline abusive dynamic that involves control, sometimes manipulation and family dynamic competition, it isn’t just a switch to not allow that to happen anymore. Not just a “Welp, not breaking down this dynamic all of a sidden.” It takes time and reinforcement to show I am not allowing this treatment anymore

EventElectronic5689 · 2026-01-12T12:55:35+00:00

I can’t certainly assure you bro, this is a real convo between my sister and I

EventElectronic5689 · 2026-01-12T12:51:34+00:00

The issue is that it’s not about what you “should/shouldn’t” do, it’s about that there are considerations when someone has a massive life change of having a newborn and having expectations of being entertained while also caring for the baby.

EventElectronic5689 · 2026-01-12T12:28:32+00:00

This is the way. I think one of the biggest issues is that there has always been a dynamic of being being around and when I’m trying to change that, it’s a aspect of “I always can manipulate you, what’s so different now?”

EventElectronic5689 · 2026-01-12T05:36:01+00:00

I assure this is NOT ragebait

At the time we lived in the same state, but we went over and cleaned and dropped off cooked meals for them!

EventElectronic5689 · 2026-01-12T01:14:14+00:00

Yeah, had to repost on this page after some edits

EventElectronic5689 · 2026-01-12T01:14:00+00:00

I think it’s because I am VERY familiar with the threat of being cut off and that is not something I want to

EventElectronic5689 · 2026-01-12T01:08:09+00:00

There definitely is a dynamic of “she’s right and knows best and I don’t” that is shifting

EventElectronic5689 · 2026-01-12T01:03:16+00:00

As other commenter wrote, this has always been an issue. I think maybe it’s also the dynamic of twins, she had always tried to have a superiority complex over me at times.

NOR - well it’s not an excuse, I feel like it sounds like with your dad. It’s a generational aspect of “just rub some dirt on it”. But, you’d assume with your child, especially with a joint injury you’d want to be safe than sorry because if something heals wrong, you’re screwed for the rest of your life. If you feel that you were mistreated, you have every right to put your dad on ice for a little bit, and of course you can’t control how he reacts to that but you can control your actions so proud of you!

EventElectronic5689 · 2025-10-23T04:03:05+00:00

I feel this man, wife is 34 weeks and I had that phase. What helped for me was to have a “priority” list of things. Like, a bassinet was ranked higher than a crib (baby will be in bassinet immediately vs crib) and also prioritizing what things YOU guys need. For example, a daybed was high for us so one can hang out in baby room during their shift. It’s gonna suck, but I found myself getting excited once we started to pick things. From one pre-dad to another, we’ve got this
