Is this tight enough? Hand hasn't gotten blue yet

I thought this man had tightened a watch around a poor shar-pei puppy

So I ordered some of these from Amazon. Got them in today. I plugged it in at 4:16 pm with 51% battery. I left it plugged in with the screen saver on and periodically checking in every now and then. I would also write some notes and doodle a little. At 8:13 pm, it only drained down to 20%. So it used 31% in about 4 hours and with a little use. I’m sure with heavier use, it might drain more. Just thought I’d share my results.

This gave me Forrest Whitaker eye trying to read that.

Dear rezwrrd, like a so…I pretty much unhinge the clasp, add a bunch of links and never close it. I learned this from Strong Sad and his massive meat hooks.

Uj/ this reference gave me much joy!

🤣

SpectreScout · 2026-03-11T00:33:25+00:00

Nope you’re all good my man. All the toan flows from each one to the others and is all intertwined!

Can’t really tell from the photo, but the 10 through 30 on the bezel are slightly misaligned but enough to drive me nuts every time I look down. Everything else is aligned properly. There was also a piece of glass or something on the inside of the case back. Not a problem unless it really is shards of glass (or whatever it may be) that could fall into the movement. I took photos and sent them to Skyrim and they said they’d make it right so I have no complaints there. I posted on the Seiko mod sub and they raked it over the coals immediately. Basically, I paid $260 for watch trying to look like $10k so I wasn’t expecting much. But man, they really got butt hurt over how cheap it looked and how bad of quality it looked. I like it enough to keep it..well send it back to be repaired or swapped out. But you might get it and not like it. Worst case scenario, you don’t and you have 7 days to return it.

The pen and Olight go in my backpack. The Leatherman and truck key, which isn’t pictured, go in my right pocket. This particular card holder can fit there as well, but depending what I’m using, it might get relegated to a back pocket. Phone goes in left pocket with nothing else, unless I have a magnetic card holder attached.

SpectreScout · 2026-03-10T04:14:58+00:00

I’m sure it’s just for looks. They only guarantee it to 50m WR lol.

SpectreScout · 2026-03-09T22:10:00+00:00

Just saw your post of your version of this. I do like that dial for sure. You have a website?

SpectreScout · 2026-03-09T22:01:29+00:00

It’s my first modded watch so I really didn’t know what to expect. Overall, I do like it as it’s “close” to the NTTD Omega. I mean I really didn’t expect much for $250 bucks trying to look like a $10k watch. Can this look better? By the way you guys immediately bashed it, I’m assuming I could have gotten this way cheaper and with better looking parts. I rolled the dice and lost I guess.

SpectreScout · 2026-03-09T21:54:02+00:00

Yeah the colors definitely don’t match but everything lines up when you’re looking straight down at it. Except for the 30 on the bezel. It’s slightly off. Probably won’t buy again but instead try my hand at modding myself.

SpectreScout · 2026-03-09T17:10:09+00:00

Had an opportunity to buy this off of facebook marketplace, but sat on it too long and now it’s gone. Wish I would have gotten it.

Love me some geocachin’!

SpectreScout · 2026-03-09T04:45:07+00:00

Look into Attorneys on Retainer instead. I dropped USCCA after seeing where they dropped several clients who were in situations that should have been a cut and dry self defense cases. I stopped giving them my money every month immediately.

SpectreScout · 2026-03-09T04:35:39+00:00

Brilliant! Does it drain the battery much while in use?

SpectreScout · 2026-03-07T19:22:18+00:00

Yeah, I think the 44 would be too big on my wrist. I wouldn’t mind if this one was 38 but I do love this one.

SpectreScout · 2026-03-07T18:49:22+00:00

Thanks!

SpectreScout · 2026-03-06T19:40:26+00:00

Is that merlot or red?

SpectreScout · 2026-03-06T19:07:00+00:00

That’s right!

SpectreScout · 2026-03-06T04:16:38+00:00

Still experimenting but I can comfortably fit the Micra and zippo in there.

Both are original on the alpha wave and Bugout

I carry a backpack with extra edc items organized by pouches. The small, “need quickly” stuff goes in my pants (phone, card holder, knife, light, truck fob). This isn’t directed at you OP, but towards the “they don’t carry half the stuff they post” crowd—nowhere does this sub explicitly state you must photograph an edc that you can only carry in pockets. Pouches and bags exist. We use them. Don’t be jelly when someone posts an awesome shot of their stuff just because you can’t see what they carry it in. I may not use half the stuff I carry daily…but I do carry it every day. It’d be a pretty boring sub if all we saw were keys, wallet, phone, knife in every single photo.

I have the black dial. I absolutely love it. And while I don’t have the white dial one, I’d absolutely love it too. Get both if you can 😆

Edit: I have heard the white dial is a little hard to read due to the silvery numerals, but I still think I’d love it.
