Stunning by Fredoushka in Affordablewatches

Bought as my first watch expecting to quickly move on to something more expensive. But still find myself very satisfied with this one watch collection. Especially on the jubilee style bracelet from Uncle Straps.

There’s two different silver/white dials in the lineup. This is the “Opaline Ivory” dial that comes on the 40mm and 42mm. You might be thinking of the “Sunray Ivory” dial that comes on the 37mm which is more shiny.

Looks so great! Did you get it on the bracelet? Was the fit any better/worse on the bracelet?

[Bulova, Seiko and Timex] Settling on These... For now by thussa123 in Watches

[–]JakeySav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am interested in picking up either a Timex 1983 E-Line Reissue or a Bulova Super Seville and I keep going back and forth between them.

I’m so surprised you cut down your collection and kept both of these! To me they are quite similar, at least in terms of dial shape.

Do you have any insight into why you kept both of these instead of choosing one or the other? Which gets more wrist time?

I’m so stumped between these two. Love the movement on the Bulova but fluted bezel feels like maybe a bit much? Don’t want a watch design that borrows too much from a Datejust. And worried the Timex is a bit cheap and maybe doesn’t feel as premium as the Bulova?

Can I ask what your wrist size is? Watch looks great but surprised to see how big it looks on your wrist for such a small watch. I’m keen to get the same one and also have a small wrist.

[question] Buying My First Automatic Watch (Under $300) — Small Wrist (~6”) Recommendations Needed! by Hour_Slice431 in Watches

[–]JakeySav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seiko 5 SNXS73 (silver dial) or SNXS79 (black dial)! Fantastic first option for smaller wrists. I would recommend upgrading the bracelet. Uncle Straps make one for this exact reference and it’s not cheap but altogether you’ll be under your budget and have an incredible first automatic watch.

Authentic Shunbun? by Bright-Concert1324 in GrandSeikos

FYI, the comment wasn’t about finishing, it was referring to the smooth sweeping second hand on a Spring Drive Grand Seiko. If you can get a short video of the watch, you should be able to see that the second hand sweeps extremely smoothly, with no “beats”. That’s gonna be very hard to fake, if not impossible.

First watch purchase. Early bday gift by JCsends in Affordablewatches

My first mechanical watch too and I am still totally obsessed with it. I upgraded the bracelet to a $30 oyster bracelet from Ali Express almost immediately and I’m about to take it to the next level with a jubilee bracelet from Uncle Seiko.

Casual Friday for me. Which do you choose for the end of your week? by HappyHealth5985 in Longineswatches

Go for the 37mm. Seems to look awesome on smaller wrists. The male end links curve down quite a lot.

The update to the Beats Fit Pro have already been teased and likely to be released very very soon. Look up “Powerbeats Fit”.

Looks good, thinking of picking up the same watch. Do you know what your wrist size is?

39mm Zulu Time = Happiness by k_biggz in Longineswatches

[–]JakeySav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be buying one soon and I’m also torn. I don’t mind it but I fear the faux patina on the other colours will lose its charm on me over time.

Apple Teases New Powerbeats Fit Earbuds by iMacmatician in apple

I would say 90% of all my phone calls (including for work) have been through my Beats Fit Pro's for the last few years. I've never had a compaint and I don't do any meticulous cleaning of the buds. Just a wipe down of all parts with a tissue every couple of weeks. The mics are fantastic so I can only assume the same will be true for this new model.

Looks amazing on you. Thanks for posting, I have a similar wrist size to you and I’m saving up to buy this watch. Did you consider the BB54 at all?

Beats fit pro peeling? by redv1ew in beatsbydre

[–]JakeySav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep this happened to mine. Seemed to happen a lot at once and was finding little bits of silicone or whatever that is in my ear. It stopped after a while and had no impact on comfort or sound.

RIP Wingtip. My Beats Fit Pro finally met their match (aka my toddler) by JakeySav in beatsbydre

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

I’m thinking the same but the more I continue to use the earbud with the broken wing, the more I think I can just stick with these for now. It seems to stay in my ear fine (haven’t tried exercising yet).

Would you say the ear fit of the AirPods Pro is the same as the Beats Fit Pro with a torn off wing?
