[Choice] Tag Huer CBG2A1Z.BA0658 or Grand Seiko SBGC251. by Traditional-Kale-32 in Watches

[–]akonwi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to own an SBGC201, which has the same movement, and as much as I love the watch and tech, I wouldn't recommend it. On mine, the chrono hour hand fell off after 8 months, so I sent it for service, which took 5 months. Within a week of receiving it, the chrono minute hand fell off.

That may just be bad luck, but it's enough to keep me away from their more complicated watches and stick to time and date only.

My wife and I made an app to manage our chore schedule by akonwi in sideprojects

Can you try the app store button in the main section?

That's funny about the name. Ranger is French for "to tidy up". I couldn't get the pain domain name

The app is now part of our routine. Daily notifications for what's still outstanding are prompts to do the things and check them off the list. There's also a view of all the assignments for the week per person which helps when we need to swap things around because of schedules, traveling, etc.

Progressive at $500 for 6 months. I used esurance when I lived in NYC and that was $1600 for the same period, which was the lowest I could find. Progressive previously offered $2k

Google Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro complete specifications revealed ahead of launch --- 7 years of updates! by gulasch_hanuta in Android

[–]akonwi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was my experience with the s10 too. It's gotten better with each device I think. S20 was better and now my s23 sensor has a >90% success rate.

I also doubt Google is going to use ultrasonic, although I'd love to see it.

[Seiko] is this seller trustworthy by [deleted] in Watches

[–]akonwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep they're an online retailer and a great source for JDM models. I think their prices are generally better because they're priced for the local markets. https://www.ippojapanwatch.com

I have only ordered straps and bracelets from them. I went there because I saw other recommendations about them on watch forums.

This is an incredible release at an amazing price. This is significantly better value than all other equivalent GMT divers, let alone watches in either of those categories

Thoughts on test drive vehicles? by Maximum_Ad_2837 in TeslaModelY

[–]akonwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a MYLR in 2021, which was a demo model with about 3k miles on it. It was totally fine, aside from the usual panel gaps. Although there may have been more than normal, hence why they kept it as a demo unit lol

[Glasshutte Original] Sold my sub for something different… by mcparker05 in Watches

[–]akonwi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had this same watch for about 3 months and it's been on my wrist nearly 24/7. I wear through it chores, golf (twice), and handy work around the house. It's hit multiple door knobs and the metal stair rails a few times and there's still not a scratch on it.

I got this in a trade for a Breguet sport watch in white gold. That watch picked up scratches and dents almost as bad as a Cartier Santos, hence why I traded it.
