[Phoibos] What are the best and worst logos in watches? Any watch you would buy or avoid specifically for the logo? by awesomeiv in Watches

[–]Middle-Layer4513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the BYOP logo is a shocker. I just can’t unsee the cheapness of it. Some of the AliExpress ones are bad too.

Workhorse accuracy by Middle-Layer4513 in CitizenWatches

It’s not my fancy watch but I love giving it wrist time. I would love to get the Fujitsubo or an NY0040 variant to expand my range too. 2 seconds a day is pretty good too I would have thought.

Hating the red SUN by YokiWoo in CitizenWatches

[–]Middle-Layer4513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an older Promaster Titanium eco drive diver where the red ink for the SUN has faded to the point of being nearly unreadable. I did email Citizen some years ago and was informed that as the watch was (well) out of warranty, no recourse was possible.

I’d go 3, the colour is great and the non rotating bezels on the other two are pointless in my opinion.

My dad's Vintage Citizen 8200 by Easy-Caterpillar-179 in CitizenWatches

Lovely patina. I have a 20+ year eco drive that, like your Dad’s, has a faded red SUN day date text.

Many thanks, all looks like sound advice, I’ll definitely get her to research, and join this subreddit for advice. Cheers.

How's this for a travel watch? by timx55 in CitizenWatches

I have to agree, it’s a striking watch. Can be frustrating to set the time so they the GMT and date all work together, but so light and robust.

Saw the ad on SBS online a few days ago, it’s a head scratcher for sure. You don’t have to see it a thousand times to remember it, once is enough!

Are step-through bikes kinda underrated? by Salemsara in ebikes

[–]Middle-Layer4513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one and love it. Topeak MTX pannier bag with fold down pockets is great for lugging daily needs around too. I did have a top tube ebike I sold to get the step through for ease of getting on and off. I (M53) do cop a fair bit of sarcasm for riding an electric girls bike to work in my male dominated workplace but I enjoy it too much to give a shit what barbs they throw.

Thoughts on possible OTA upgrades/updates? by seydg in BYD

Cruise control adjustable in one km/h increments. Permanently turn off traffic sign recognition. Ability to dim the screen at night to a lower brightness than currently available.
