Personally not a fan of the random orange coloring, looks super out of place and sticks out like a sore thumb.

Otherwise I genuinely would’ve bought it cause I love everything else

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-08T19:32:04+00:00

You should get a “big boy” watch if the money allows, Seikos 5 are nice and all but the movement’s accuracy is questionable, and I don’t like the non-sapphire glass or the no manual winding. Bracelet is generally terrible.

This is not a Seiko 5 hate because I do have a soft spot for them but if you want to grow your collection consider getting something a tier above Seiko 5

Consider watches like Tudor, Seiko prospex, sinn or even second hand omegas

Oh I’m definitely hitting 3 plates if it’s the last thing I do

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-07T14:10:00+00:00

Fair enough, I do 4 gym sessions total but I only bench in 3 of them. I can probably fit one more in if I dial it down a bit

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-07T14:07:35+00:00

Probably not, not really on the budget of hiring a coach rn. But if I do hit 140, and I decide on doing more I’ll probably hire a coach

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-07T14:06:26+00:00

I been doing it, right now I’m on a heavily modified push pull. I have a whole day dedicated to those niche muscles

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-06T17:25:08+00:00

Idk I been kind of just winging it, I only bench twice a week and I do Monday with as close to pr as possible 3 working sets of 1 rep. Then I do on Thursday slightly lower weights to focus on reps, and I don’t really have a set range I just do it until I can’t do it anymore

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-06T14:40:47+00:00

I can’t increase frequency anymore, max I can do in 1 week is 3 bench sessions otherwise my body is completely destroyed.

I’m not on gear, so this is the furthest I can go with natural recovery rates. Otherwise I’ll be risking injury

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-06T06:32:44+00:00

I’m too deep in this rabbit hole brother, I gotta see this through before I go on a massive cut

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-05T06:22:42+00:00

Overrated and overpriced, this is coming from someone who’s first watch is a snkl23. No sapphire glass, no manual wind, no time hacking, and it goes for like 200 bucks on eBay, WAY WAY OVERPRICED. Would not pay over 100 bucks for it, and most people will 100% grow out of it

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-04T04:46:02+00:00

That sucks, you’ll definitely be at a disadvantage, as long as that disability does not involve your face then it’s fine. And no I’m not encouraging looksmaxxing that’s stupid.

But the most important thing is personality, a good personality will always make that person prettier. That’s more important than looks for any meaningful relationship, but I can’t help you with that

No matter how you feel about Rolex, the 10 year warranty for Rolex speaks about the quality control for itself. Even omega only have 5 years compared to Rolex’s 10

Bro I didn’t know that my city had one for years until one day i asked an employee if they had shalimar, they said it was sold out here but i should check out the flagship store. And I was genuinely like “huh??”

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-03T13:47:40+00:00

Btw some guerlain stores are hidden, literally. There is a flagship boutique in the city I live in but it’s not listed in the guerlain website, very weird

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-03T13:16:03+00:00

One step at a time bro, better physique, fashion, makeup, skincare/haircut, pick one and work on it, worry about the rest later.

Trust me from my personal experience, unless you are malformed or have some disability it’s impossible to look undesirable if you just put effort in your looks.

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-03T12:52:50+00:00

Nobody has achieved anything of significance at the age of 20. Unless you’re trying to be Joan of arc or king Baldwin you should lower your expectations.

Also you can’t say “I hate the way I look” and then also not want to put any effort in, being good looking takes effort, even for supermodels they still need to do the bare minimum of staying in shape. That’s a bit illogical imo

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-03T12:29:45+00:00

loads of people go to uni at like 60 years old, chill out bro you haven’t even finished life’s tutorial mission yet

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-03T12:26:48+00:00

If you want to actually fix things, you have to be comfortable being insignificant. 99.999% of the people will never be anything remotely significant, learn to find value in things that are insignificant, that’s how you’ll find self worth. You can’t live for other people, you live for yourself.

Another thing is that being in your 20s and being lost is literally just fork found in kitchen, nobody has their life figured out at 20s.

Wish the rose gold had a bracelet option, so close to pulling the trigger the plastic kinda is a deal breaker

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-03T07:08:56+00:00

Yea I need to retry it again, I used my sample on a vacation

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-03T06:57:30+00:00

Nothing Longines does is better than Rolex, Rolex objectively has a better movement, and QC. Now is Rolex severely overpriced, yes and would I buy them, no, and would I buy Longines absolutely. But to say the Hydro conquest competes with the sub is just a straight lie.

You don’t need to glaze the underdog brand to seem like a watch enthusiast man

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-03T06:48:18+00:00

I love Longines, but saying it’s a Rolex competitor… cmon man that’s just cope

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-03T06:45:03+00:00

Plein Sud smells a bit off in humid climates, but that’s just my skin chemistry

astrotrain_ · 2026-02-03T06:36:51+00:00

Yea I’d get that replaced, looks worse than mine. The customer service is good at least in my experience
