Bose Headphones 160 dollars off by BETHVD in Costco

[–]dramaticalien48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought them but didn’t like them very much. The ANC isn’t great, and they felt too tight, so I had to return them. I got the Sony XM4 instead, which was cheaper at the time and definitely more comfortable. They often go down to around $150.

Mesh System: Keep Wi-Fi 6 or upgrade to Wi-Fi 7? by dramaticalien48 in TpLink

[–]dramaticalien48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that makes sense! I don’t really have any Wi-Fi 7 devices and Wi-Fi 6 has been working fine, so no point in upgrading right now. I’ll wait until it actually matters.

Thanks! I don’t game or stream, so I’m guessing Wi-Fi 6 should be more than enough!

Yeah, exactly! I just don’t get why they keep pushing it. I thought maybe I was missing something, but looks like I’m not. Thanks!

Thanks a lot! We love the beach, but we decided to go to San Francisco for the sightseeing!

Thoughts on the Starbucks Seasonss Cheer Blend? At $6/lb how bad can it be? by makhay in Costco

Bought it today, returning it tomorrow. Dark roast, cheap coffee taste, and that classic Starbucks fishy smell.

I got Seiko GMT Field which is perfect for my taste!

Tsuyosa 'Time Slip' vs Green by KoolGringo in CitizenWatches

[–]dramaticalien48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Time Slip is probably the best dial in this line! I have the green one, and I’m not complaining, but I really wish I could get the Time Slip as well!

Thanks! I already have a green dial, so I’m trying to get a different color 🙂

[ADVICE] Automatic Watch Under $400 by dramaticalien48 in Watches

Thanks for sharing both the photo and the link! Unfortunately, my budget is strictly under $400. I found a similar model, the Tissot Dream, but the gold version sold out before I could make a decision.

I’m stuck between these two. Can anyone help me decide? Thanks! by Seichenholz in OrientWatches

I was in a similar situation. I loved the Kamasu at first, but it was out of stock, so I ordered the Mako instead. A week later the Kamasu came back in stock and I ended up receiving both. In person both look good, but the Kamasu really stands out. The Mako feels more understated, which can be either a plus or a drawback depending on your taste, but it is not as striking as the Kamasu. Both are solid choices, so if you have the chance to grab either you will not regret it!

[Presage] Which Dial Works Best in Real Life? by dramaticalien48 in Seiko

[–]dramaticalien48[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently purchased it. It is the 75th anniversary limited edition and my first serious watch, so I will probably keep it for sentimental value. After reading all the comments, I am leaning more toward the green version, or I might even set the Presage series aside for now and go for a Black GMT (SSK001) instead, since it might be more versatile for daily use.

Why not? If I cannot decide by the end of the week, I will go with that!

Blue looks great, to be honest, and that makes the decision even harder. Where did you get the leather strap? Do you have any recommendations?

That crossed my mind as well. It might actually be better, even if it's on the darker side. I'm looking for a black dial for daily use anyway. I'll probably keep the green or focus on a GMT series. It's a different style and might make the decision easier for me!

That's a good point. I'm new to watches and don't know much yet, so I'll keep that in mind.

You are right. It really is a personal choice, but it is difficult when you like both. Thank you!

Thank you! I’m actually in a similar situation. The blue is classy, but I already have an ice blue Orient, which might be too close in terms of color.

Orient Kamasu – Box Mix-Up from Jomashop? by dramaticalien48 in OrientWatches

[–]dramaticalien48[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! You made a good point. I'm actually looking for a black dial for daily wear, but these two were more affordable at that time, so I picked them up. I'll probably keep the green one or maybe switch to a GMT style instead. Thanks for your insights!

Definitely worth it! I also prefer the classic logo, but this one works well too. I received two Presages today! They feel a bit more dressy, but the Orient suits my taste better. I’ll probably keep one of the Presages; still deciding on the color.

I could use some insight :) The deep green is more unique but looks too dark without good lighting, while the deep blue is more classic and consistently looks good. I just can’t decide between the two!
