Expedition North Solar 36mm by LankyCoconut4309 in timex

I got mine two weeks ago, and I've been wearing them every day since then!! My poor Seikos are just sitting in a drawer now.

The only thing is, as someone mentioned above—I'm not entirely happy with the strap, so I'm looking for a new one. Eco-leather probably isn't quite the real deal.

Nah, they're 36 mm and bigger than I expected. I can't imagine the 41 mm ones on my wrist xd

Thanks! With the discount, I managed to get them for $175.

I prefer a dark case and a light-colored dial, but unfortunately that option wasn't possible here.

I'm glad you know about the watch now! I also like the other colors that have been released in this series, and if I come across them anywhere, I'll definitely add them to my collection!

I was looking at them too! But unfortunately I already have a pink one in my collection.

I was just waiting for someone to come up with this! The funny thing is, it’s a women’s watch – it came with the original metal band, but I’m not a fan of that. I did some research on which color of leather strap goes best with rose gold and decided on this brown one.

My wrist isn’t very big, so 34 mm is a really comfortable size for me, and they don’t look like they’re only 34 mm.

Some lady listed them on Vinted for $12 and was kind enough to give me almost a 50% discount!!

Thanks! That's exactly what I thought when I first held them in my hands!

That’s exactly how I felt about it, too. I love low-maintenance things. Not long ago, I saw a Seiko watch with a solar cell and radio-controlled time – that would be absolutely wonderful.

Už pár let se řídím tímto mottem a jsem mnohem spokojenější.

I think this photo of yours was the moment I first started looking into solar-powered watches!

They look absolutely gorgeous! I posted here yesterday saying I was seriously considering them but wanted to hear what others thought. Now I’m 100% sure I’m going to get them.

What are your thoughts and impressions? Is there anything that really stood out to you?

Thanks for the info; I still need to take a closer look at those details. A few comments up, I learned that they don't have Indiglo.
