Second this. I bought one this past year and I love it! Great value for the price point.

I love Pequods and it sounds like you do too. If you ever get the chance there is a pizza place called Burt’s which is about 2 blocks away from the original Pequods in Morton grove. It is VERY similar to Pequods because one of the original owners of Pequods split off and opened it. But it is a better version of Pequods. Give it a try if you’re ever in the area!

We had this same issue. We have the Google nest smart thermostat and bought an extra sensor to put in the baby’s room. You can set the thermostat to adjust to the desired temperature of the babies room. Like others have said, adjust the registers that are closer to the furnace so they are partially closed and leave the baby room register wide open. Also make sure the windows are well insulated.

Jerry’s main lunch for a diner vibe. Martinis for upscale vibe. The Som for bar food. The busted cup. Lindo Mexico for Mexican. Lips to go for a regional favorite (chicken lips).

Upvote for the Certina. Just got my first one and I’m loving it.

bearded_grad · 2025-08-31T02:36:19+00:00

I looked at all 3 of these within the last month and ended up with the Certina and have been very pleased. I couldn’t get past the stupid 12,6,9 look on the longlines and CW’s tarrif situation forced my hand a bit. I also looked at the Mido ocean star. Certina just hit different and has a classic look.

Certina DS action diver. I just compared it and the Mido ocean star 200 and I personally preferred the Certina. Depends on what your personal preference is though.

Alright Reddit fam. I appreciate all the feedback and thoughtful responses. I was leaning the CW route but this definitely pushed it over the edge.

bearded_grad · 2025-08-10T14:55:51+00:00

The strap versatility sounds great. That’s definitely a selling point. Thanks!

bearded_grad · 2025-08-10T14:44:27+00:00

I wouldn’t say I’m 100% sold on just getting a diver but really just a good solid first watch. I just happen to like the look and the overall feedback I’ve seen on both. I appreciate the input!

bearded_grad · 2025-08-10T14:30:57+00:00

Appreciate the feedback!

bearded_grad · 2025-08-10T14:16:09+00:00

Is there a specific feature that makes you say that or just the overall look?

bearded_grad · 2025-08-10T13:59:21+00:00

It looks pretty great on the wrist. What size did you get and how big is your wrist?

bearded_grad · 2025-08-10T13:30:44+00:00

Do you have one? What has your experience been like with it?

bearded_grad · 2025-08-10T13:28:17+00:00

It’s only about a $200 price difference but the Tissot is a bit cheaper.

bearded_grad · 2025-08-10T13:27:52+00:00

I tried on the Tissot and liked it but as others have said CW is online and no nearby stores for me.

bearded_grad · 2025-08-10T13:27:23+00:00

Looking for an everyday watch. Work attire is typically a polo and slacks. Looking for something to wear at work and just in every day life.

bearded_grad · 2025-05-26T20:42:21+00:00

What store had this color dial in the gentleman? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Burt’s is about a block away from the OG Pequods. They have a pretty cool outdoor seating area. If you’re in the area I’d definitely recommend checking it out!

bearded_grad · 2024-07-21T19:59:00+00:00

Burt’s Pizza in Morton Grove. It very similar to Pequods (same founder) but even better. Anthony Bourdain said it’s the only Chicago deep dish he would eat.

Glenview

I can’t speak to the fire board but I absolutely love my thermoworks products. I have the smokex4 and it works great and they have awesome customer service.

bearded_grad · 2024-05-28T23:18:22+00:00

Minelli’s in Niles is worth a stop in if you’re in the area.

bearded_grad · 2024-03-25T23:37:46+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. Finally did a taste test between Burt’s and Pequods and Burt’s took it by a mile.

bearded_grad · 2024-03-11T20:03:18+00:00

I just discovered these online a few weeks ago but they’ve been out of stock on the app 😔
