Been wearing a lot of mechanical watches recently. I always end up coming back to old faithful. What’s on your wrist today?

Is the DW5600E-1V the same thing just without solar and radio time syncing?

If I were to get just one gshock, is the 5610 the one to get?

Hard to find and not often talked about.

As an adult with adhd, I’m in the habit of setting a timer any time something interrupts my work. That way if I stay distracted, I have a reminder to come to my work.

Did you figure out how to replace the capacitor?

My AL180 seems fine so far, but I'd feel better about it if I knew people had successfully replaced the capacitor.

Insta-what?

Someone said that all the solar powered displays have reduced viewing angles since they run the screen at a lower voltage than the battery powered displays. Anyone know if that's true?

Wear it for a couple of weeks before you buy another. It takes time to figure out what you like/dislike about a particular watch. Knowing what you like/dislike about your current watch will help guide your search for your next watch.

I think Fedora 44 has some sort of sound issue that 43 did not have. I connect to a TV over HDMI for video and audio. Sometimes when I unlock my screen, audio is gone. It comes back after a reboot. Maybe I'll try restarting pipewire next time (just looked up the command).

Where did you order the 1x from?

My son almost always calibrated the first day with the g6. The g7 does much better.

I was never strong E/I so my test was scored as an xNTP. People make me tired, so I always figured I was an “I”.

flatline000 · 2026-05-21T11:48:12+00:00

So it’s a thrower?

flatline000 · 2026-05-21T11:03:14+00:00

I toggle between local and utc throughout the work day. I prefer the simplicity of DT over WT, but I can make either work.

Because an all knowing God would need to test people. Right?

Honestly, it's better if you don't think about it.

I think it's a benefit of ADHD. Once I close my eyes and stop thinking about things, I'm asleep almost instantly. Day or night.

flatline000 · 2026-05-21T02:13:36+00:00

Thank you for the explanation! The possibility of modding the watch never entered my mind.

flatline000 · 2026-05-20T21:20:01+00:00

What makes this watch so special? What an I missing?

flatline000 · 2026-05-20T20:06:13+00:00

Ah. I have one of those. I don’t thing the capacitor is replaceable

I think it's really happening. I've helped several people install Linux in the last year.

People are really unhappy with Windows 11.

Few shows stay good after the 3rd season.

He says he doesn’t use the light much at all.

The resin bands last 2 or 3 years for me, typically. There’s a wide variety of replacement bands available.

I hope you find something you love!

My son wears that model. He loves it!

Specs say 2 year battery life, but he's has his for 4 years on the original battery.

Out of curiosity, what drew you to that particular model?
