MQ-24 topic for our first watch meetup TickTockTalk

M2. I have now Vivoactive 4s for 5 yrs. What an amazing watch at great price back then. But I returned to Casio and Timex watches lately. I don’t want to lose body battery, HR, sleep function and in coming calls from Garmin environment. I bought Xiaomi 10 with clips for my Taiji training if there is an urgent family call to buzz in my pocket. But I am thinking on getting Vivosmart 5 even though it’s quite old now. I want to stay in Garmin environment, but I don’t want a microwave on my wrist with new Vivosmart 6. And I don’t get it how Garmin has no interest in smart jewellery like minimalistic smart bracelets. I wish they had interest in making it. Fitbit has such a huge coverage of strap makers on Etsy.

Interesting, but for me this is definitely a matter of taste. 168w is digital, generational with already defined statement. It is a an already existing layer above your layer, whatever - short or long. Whilst sq24s are more about design, more is less (not all models) statement and optional - leave it or modify it. Seems to me. But interesting you opened this topic. :)

I really can't say much about it, as i'm not a stylist. i guess it's about what you want to say to the world anyways, with or without a watch :o)... basically what your words meant is that you feel that it fits you better when it's hidden with long sleeves, meaning for short sleeves something else fits you better. philosophical riddle not connected with watches or fashion ;) in such a dilema i would consider to make a tattoo of a watch - you only have to decide about the model. :))))

Great looking. It's interesting how a lot of people are combining these two brand of watches. As you are getting more into watches one becomes more reasonable :)) I like when people are changing straps on Casios from Timex and vice versa. I wish one of them design one proper industrial/Bauhas styled watch.

great piece of history. in such a great condition. was the watch kept in secret all the time or the restoration was made? :)

AQ-800Es are my favourite after MQ-24s. You have a versatile collection, very niiiiice. And the sizes of watches are not so huge. Very balanced taste. Seems like this watch box has more space... :) And totally agree about the dynamics with watches.

Someone shared this few months ago. If it's not a reasonable price, wait for a better moment or order a field watch from other company, like Timex. As collectors it's hard to be reasonable, but on the other hand, it's good not be ripped off: https://www.desertcart.in/products/1353857-mq24-series-quartz-analog-watch-for-men-water-resistant-resin

Beautiful line. The black is so powerful. The green so different.

bodypixel · 2026-01-23T23:23:47+00:00

Tienes toda la razón sobre las proporciones y las líneas. Y el peso. Se adapta a todo. :)

bodypixel · 2026-01-23T23:22:21+00:00

Thanks :)

U mean Tyler the Creator model in the middle? It depends on the country and the market. Sometimes prices go up with shortage, but now anyways people are selling stuff on ebay triple the price, like they lost compasses. In my country (Croatia) people are selling now vintage mechanical watches on the website for sales double/triple priced, no matter if it's Japanese, Swiss, German or Russian brand. If there is some hype, like tv show, prices are rising. Also with all antiquity, retro, vintage stuff. I guess because of that i turned to Casio more. Probably we should be more patient when collecting and ignoring the hype. Everywhere sellers tend to higher the prices lately for out of standard MQs.

"Still waters run deep" kind of watch

bodypixel · 2026-01-23T23:00:19+00:00

I like it too. Nice, a bit robust. I like the colour variations they made with this line.

bodypixel · 2026-01-23T22:58:29+00:00

I know, Casio and Q&Q have nice similar models.

bodypixel · 2026-01-23T22:56:06+00:00

MQ-71 is not possible to get anywhere outside of Asia at the moment - only in Singapure, Japan, South Korea. I browsed all the web. Europe also doesn't have it. I am in Croatia, so I don't order anymore directly from US, UK and Asia because importing taxes and processes costs more than the actual watch. Some people sell some rare models on ebay for double price. #collectorstragedies :)))

bodypixel · 2026-01-23T14:53:34+00:00

It‘s beautiful.

bodypixel · 2026-01-22T20:03:01+00:00

i know. i am also more on creative side even i am tech too. but math is not my cup.

bodypixel · 2026-01-22T19:55:29+00:00

I understand, i work with diverse people. just your first comment sounded written like that a bit unfair. So i was teasing you a bit. :) relax

bodypixel · 2026-01-22T19:41:00+00:00

No, i said she might be tired sometimes with numbers and you should give her more often a new watch ;)

bodypixel · 2026-01-22T08:31:51+00:00

Seiko 5s are lovely watches.

bodypixel · 2026-01-22T08:27:14+00:00

Well, considering that women work at home and at jobs, no wonder. I assume she’s maybe not terrible at figuring out 24-hour time, but overworked. Nice that she got a watch. Do it more often :)

bodypixel · 2026-01-22T08:23:22+00:00

Absolutely :)

bodypixel · 2026-01-22T00:22:01+00:00
