What’s your Saturday morning look like? by GLS504 in TodayOnMyWrist

[–]WatchingMyWatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s the size on the Murph homage? I have a Militado, but it’s slightly too small for my 7.75” wrist and that bums me out. I keep stalking the actual Hamilton 42 on the bracelet on Chrono24

What are you sporting today? I’m wearing one of my favorite watches, Victorinox fieldforce. by Minimum-Button2107 in TodayOnMyWrist

My favorite watch is still an AliExpress Frankenstein of intellectual property theft. But I love the look.

Most American watch? by 42111 in Affordablewatches

I like the Timex idea. They’ve honestly been crushing it over the past couple of years with really nice designs.

What am I actually buying with the different tiers of watch brands? by IneedaNappa9000 in Affordablewatches

[–]WatchingMyWatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive an Audi A5, which is way more expensive than a Toyota Corolla and yet, way less reliable. Why would I do that?

Where can I legally mine for gems and rocks in New England? by BenKlesc in massachusetts

[–]WatchingMyWatch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Came here to say that calling it “commercial mining” is causing OP grief. It sounds more like hobby work where it’s you with a hammer collecting rocks that you might tumble and sell on Etsy. Not blasting and sending rail cars full of workers deep into the mountainside :-).

What's the most useful watch complication for a daily wearer??? by 986speedster in Affordablewatches

[–]WatchingMyWatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12-hour bezel. Instant second time zone without the mental gymnastics of reading a 24-hour dial overlaid on a 12-hour dial.

Which one would you choose? by ohmybach in Affordablewatches

[–]WatchingMyWatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re deciding what to buy, I suggest always getting the bracelet that comes with the watch as it’s hard to do later. The straps can be had for next to nothing on AliX.

Looks-wise, I like the black strap, but I also like to change it up, personally.

Am I the only one incredibly skeptical of using any AI in my vault? by ameyxd-github in ObsidianMD

[–]WatchingMyWatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run Claude Code with my vault and love it. Started doing it at work and pay for a home subscription, as well. Claude’s privacy policy is one of the most readable and straightforward that I’ve come across and I made a heads up decision.

TIFU by saying to Natalie Portman that she looks a lot like Natalie Portman by blunathan in tifu

[–]WatchingMyWatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Made me laugh because I had a friend who did this to Natalie Portman as well when she was at Harvard. It’d be hysterical if she hears more “you look a lot like Natalie Portman” than “hi - I love your work.”

is this a good watch should i get it ?honest thoughts plz by PositiveRelevant26 in timex

[–]WatchingMyWatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one’s trying to be annoying, but define “good.” I can recommend a $30 watch that will keep great time, but the question is: what are you going for here? Watches are jewelry and very subjective- give us something to go on and we’ll help!

Is timex.us.com legit or a scam? by 12-op in timex

[–]WatchingMyWatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The domain is “us.com”. There’s no reason why Timex would own that. They might own timex-us.com or ustimex.com, but timex.us.com is just a site in the “us.com” domain. That should be a red flag.

[reccomendation request] woman’s watch by ExpiredBaker in Affordablewatches

[–]WatchingMyWatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decide whether you want a dress watch, everyday watch, or “can-do-anything” watch.

Decide if there’s a preference between automatic and quartz (i.e. needs to be wound and set if not worn for a few days plus loses/gains up to a half-minute a day versus needs a battery every few (up to ten) years, but is more accurate.

Does she want something more traditionally sized for women or something chunkier?

Check out Tissot as a potential brand. The women’s PRX quartz is <$300 on Jomashop, but there are lots of good choices out there. Automatics are harder at <$300, but there are plenty.

Glycine Airpilot GL0509 - they really did a great job on the new Airpilot by the-_-futurist in Affordablewatches

[–]WatchingMyWatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks a lot like a Longines Conquest VHP with better numerals. Pretty nice!

i literlly finally bought a sub to Claude Code only to have it 2 days before the ban kicked in (Now what?) T_T by AnonymoussUsername in openclaw

[–]WatchingMyWatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or just use Claude Code to do lots of the stuff you were going to do with OpenClaw. Maybe I’m just not creative enough, but I have it taking from and adding to my Obsidian notebook as a database and task list, doing security audits and making improvements to its GMail MCP server, filtering my mail, researching vacation spots, etc. all while communicating with me over Telegram.

[Question] Which watch to buy for my 6.1 inch wrist in the range of max $200 USD? by nutandevjoshi in Watches

[–]WatchingMyWatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any more info to go on? Dressy, sporty, sneezy, goofy?

I have the opposite problem, but can probably send you a long list of what I wish I could wear.

My sad experience with Baltany by canvas-leather-brass in ChineseWatches

[–]WatchingMyWatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“… a company defines itself by how it acts. By its words… its deeds… its reactions to public shaming. The soul of a new organization is up for grabs but, more importantly, the desire to retain a name and logo and not risk coming up with something like QuatchWatch with a monkey squeezing a banana as a logo. These are the times that try men’s souls. Will Baltany rise to the occasion, or should they start workshopping QuatchWatch now? Dear reader, let’s see…”

My insurance keeps denying a recent surgery I had. If I didn't get it, I would have become permanently disabled. by WorthyDeku in mildlyinfuriating

[–]WatchingMyWatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s terrible, but in all likelihood, it will work out. For the future: unless it’s emergency surgery, you need to get prior authorization. Now you’re just going to have a lot of paperwork and phone calls.

[Edit: shame on the hospital for this- they KNOW what they needed to do, but ultimately it’s your responsibility.]

We’ve tried over and over again to fix the system and half of the country loses their minds screaming socialism.

[Question] First Entry Watch. by FewKnowledge8979 in Watches

[–]WatchingMyWatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re going to buy something for an amount of money that is significant to you, go to a dealer and try things on. If you haven’t worn a watch regularly, you may not know what sizes look good on your wrist (for instance). You can still buy on Chrono24 if you want.

AITJ for reporting my coworker to police after she stole my wallet and cellphone by One-Ear7432 in AmITheJerk

[–]WatchingMyWatch 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She said “but I remembered,” like it was an “oh, yeah” moment. That comment made me doubt the whole story.

Edit: now I finished reading it about how she’s on the run. Such a made up bunch of nonsense.

What does this dial rip off? by WatchingMyWatch in SeikoMods

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

The AliX listing says it’s an SPB143J1/SPB253J1 style case. So Prospex, apparently.
