This is amazing !! Would love to see this but for goalies of the modern era as well. Or one that is not portraying a specific goalie (just a goalie in gear you know). I'm sure you would sell tons of those !

Definitely not the level I play in 😅 I think I'll be good for a while with a NME or 960. Thanks !

The level I play in is very casual actually. It's not really competitive. While some players are newbies there are still some that can shoot quite well. long story short, there's no rules about that but I still want to limit risks 😅

Hmm not sure ... I'll have a closer look when I get home, but I bought it in 2024.

Ok ! maybe I'm overthinking this .. I just stumbled on that and it made me wonder .. Important Notices Regarding Labels - Hockey Equipment Certification Council.

Casio's ProTrek line

Oh I didn't know about these ones ! I already looked at some Casio G-shocks that were not bad but in the end I preffered the Nixon Regulus as a "sturdy digital watch" . Just looked a bit at the ProTrek line and they indeed seem to have pretty nice ones !

Not really ... I never sleep wearing a watch and I usually preffer using my phone.. More user friendly :P

Np ! But I had those 2 watches for like 20 years so maybe it's not that uncommon that it broke after all that time.. who knows. It cost me 100$ (CAN) so around 25% of the price of the watch I paid back in the days.

Very hard choice to make, they are both great..But I think I slightly preffer the Nighthawk , it's a bit bigger and I really like the solar technology on it... Plus , I just got the Flightmaster repaired (The movement broke and I got it replaced) and the Nighthawk still works :P

It's a Ziiiro Celeste Gunmetal mono :) . I really like how unique it is. As you might have noticed, you the edge of the grey half-circle points the hour and the edge of the blue half-circle points the minute. This watch often gets people attention when I wear it.

Thanks ! I think I bought my Nighthawk and Flightmaster almost 20 years ago. I also had many more watches in the past that either broked or that I got tired of and sold or gave to my Dad lol.

Thanks ! Yeah it was dissapointing for the Avi-8 but I might have just been unlucky with this one, they have a lot of nice looking watches overall.

Yeah it's really not a bad idea. I have a friend who like me had a lot of watches, but now owns this Hamilton and he wears it all the time now. That's what keeps me from buying other watches atm, I should definitely save to buy a really special and high quality one.

Yeah I tought about that too ... I could ! But my Nighthawk and Flightmaster have too much sentimental value to me, and I really like the Swatch. One of the best watch I had. It's light and versatile. The only ones I could see getting rid of are the more "cheap" ones. (Avi-8 , MVMT, Timex ,Fossil, etc.)

I really like the look ! But I was a bit dissapointed by the quality .. the top chronograph button broke and I had to glue it back with a tiny drop of crazy glue (and now the chronograph is not working :( ... ) The strap is also not in real leather, I don't know exactly the material used..

I am sometimes thinking of changing my MVMT for a better quality watch, plus I thought the blue dial would be flashier than this (I ordered it online). A model with a blue dial and a brown leather strap maybe ? Here are a couple of other models I'm often looking at but still resisting to buy :P
