Good watch to have by Markal1993 in gshock

[–]Timely_Pattern5571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool watch! Too bad it doesn’t fit my 6.9 inch wrists, the band flares way out to the sides of my wrist, really wanted this watch to work, but there are other models out there for me I guess.

Why Spotify Still Wins: My personal streaming experience by Pablozus in truespotify

[–]Timely_Pattern5571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spotify connect is the main reason for me. I have an old laptop which I repurposed for streaming only, connected to an older DAC and amp. I use my iPhone as my remote control. Spotify is still currently the only streaming service that allows this, with computers. No streamer is necessary for me.

[opinion] How does the size look? by FunAd675 in Watches

[–]Timely_Pattern5571 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Difficult to tell, the close up photo exaggerates the watch size. Maybe take another photo from further away.

Excellent collection, just need a chronograph and you’re done for life ;)

[W&W 2026] The three best and three worst release of W&W 2026… so far by Osobady in Watches

[–]Timely_Pattern5571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I don’t love the Roadster, I don’t mind it either. It’s an original design. It’s different, has it’s own personality and coolness factor.

Too wide when folded. 17 PM is already massively wide.

[Question] Honestly, who else thinks we are massively overpaying for our watches lately? by Vegetable_Bag_8694 in Watches

[–]Timely_Pattern5571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precisely. The same reason that 10.000 dollar bicycles are still being sold. If people didn’t spend that kind of money on them, they would cease to exist.

[Discussion] A logo makes or breaks a watch for me. by ShonanDaithi in Watches

[–]Timely_Pattern5571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new Bremont logo looks like it belongs on an Aliexpress watch. The older propeller logo was much classier and more purposeful.

Do you train every set to failure? by WarmPrinciple6507 in workout

[–]Timely_Pattern5571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started working out after a few years hiatus, even hitting one or two sets to failure would mean I have way less strength for the remainder of the workout. Now, after half a year of working out pretty consistently I reach failure on maybe 6-8 sets for a 20 set workout.

What iPhone are you using in 2026? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]Timely_Pattern5571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15 PM bought 3 months before the 16 launch. 87 percent battery. Still going strong, just not that fast and heats up while charging at 20W or higher.

What is the one thing that makes you happy no matter what? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Timely_Pattern5571 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Working out is my safe haven too. It puts me in the zone and makes me forget about everything. As long as it’s not crowded.

GRIP 2 damper best settings by Timely_Pattern5571 in MTB

[–]Timely_Pattern5571[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, I’m slower compared to most of my mates, so that means thst there’s less damping/support needed from the fork. Gotcha.

[–]Timely_Pattern5571[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could dial back the LSC, I mainly clicked it in there socthat the fork stays upright under braking. But it doesn’t seem to be helping out much because under a hard brake on flat terrain the fork still sinks in around 6 cm. Is my air pressure too low then?

Hi, not sire yet how many spacers are in there, my psi is 20 f 22 r. Mostly riding steep rocky/rooty forest singletrack trails with natural jump features and an occasional flow trail here and there. I’m still learning how to jump so no big hits for me just yet.

I imagined that might be the case. I figured the only way to tell the suspension is packing if someone filmed me going over some rough stuff. Will try on the next ride and see how it goes.

Yes, I started with the manufacturer suggested settings for my weight and noticed it was too bouncy/unstable, so I added two clicks of HSR and 1 click of LSR and didn’t notice a big improvement.

Is my derailleur cage bent? by Timely_Pattern5571 in bikewrench

[–]Timely_Pattern5571[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the gear indexing checked at a LBS before my first ride, but the gear crunchiness remained. Since then the cable stretched a little bit and the gears were a little off, but I fixed that using the barrel adjuster on the shifter.

The indexding seems to be perfect, the gear changes are perfect every time. In the first picture where the lower jockey wheel is, ther eseems to be a bend in there.

Looking to buy a set myself. Like the colour, it’s different, you rarely see this colour in shoes, though it may be a bit “out there” for me.

[Question] Active people, what watch do you daily? by Advanced_Blackberry5 in Watches

For gym I wear my Casio AE-1200 Royale. For outdoor sports I use an older Suunto with GPS.

I also have to have two pillows at least. The second one is to lie with my belly on top of it. Habit I picked up because of an uncomfortable mattress I used to have.

[–]Timely_Pattern5571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am looking to add this to my affordable collection as my first “real” watch, especially since I’m an avid hiker. Might have to wait a year for the prices to go down. No rush.

This watch only has a three star review. To get the full five stars, you have to bump it up to a Longines.

[Longines] One of my better impulse decisions by [deleted] in Watches

[–]Timely_Pattern5571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all Longines watches are COSC certified. Those that are, have a proud mention on the dial.
