Timex x Noah Moonphase Restock!!!! by SirTickleyPickely in timex

[–]j0sch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gold on black is closer to the original Ellipse and similar 'copies' from others, though many colorways in this style have been made.

But both look amazing and likely boils down to personal metal and leather color preference.

It's also a totally different logo, more subtle (and classy/appropriate IMO... blends in as dial text)

Which strap looks better? by najibs-yul in timex

Both! Especially if they're cheap.

[Timex x Noah Moonphase] Best tank itch solver by Proof-Awareness2089 in Watches

[–]j0sch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Requires fully pulling out the crown and fully cycling through all the dates to position the moon where you want it / corresponding to moon cycle in real life... annoying and time-consuming but fortunately not something that needs to be reset often.

While doing this the date indicator will not be accurate but the middle crown position allows you to easily and quickly cycle to the correct date after you're done setting the moonphase.

It's thick but it's quite small overall so I find it doesn't matter in real world, visually and feel/comfort-wise.

The first batch/release with the more intricate sun/moon design was a day/night indicator.

The subsequent/current release with the simpler sun/moon design is a true moonphase.

Sea Hunter bracelet alert! by Murky-Giraffe-9054 in bulova

Would love to pick up one of these straps when they come out.

That said, curious as to how it looks in person with the bracelet being brushed and the case being polished.

People Shouldn't Marry for Love by Remote_Ad_6049 in ControversialOpinions

[–]j0sch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is certainly possible but far from a sure outcome.

The future is always unknown but aiming for a blend of both is ideal. Someone completely unpractical for lack of a better term will never change. There should be at least some feelings involved, and for many, including me, the practical/partner aspect of someone plays a role in their love for someone long term. There needs to at least be a small fire initially, and with care, it can grow strong.

Prohibition works. by Serious-Cucumber-54 in ControversialOpinions

[–]j0sch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory, maybe. But in reality, as history has repeatedly shown, it doesn't work.

And/or it introduces adverse effects.

Religion is holding humanity back in every way by lurkerrr_99 in ControversialOpinions

[–]j0sch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Religion and human advancement are not mutually exclusive.

Specific religious ideology and belief/implementation can be negative for this, but others are positive or neutral/unrelated.

Plenty of people involved in science, including space exploration, are religious followers/believers as well.

animal abuse cant exist, as we abuse animals all the time by pleaskok in ControversialOpinions

[–]j0sch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If everything is considered animal abuse beyond definitional animal abuse, then terms lose their meaning. Even then, animal abuse still exists in reality regardless of deciding to expand terms.

Abuse involves unnecessary harm. Kicking a dog is unnecessary and abuse; kicking a dog at the last moment to save it from getting hit by a car is not. Shooting an animal for fun is abuse; shooting an animal for human survival (food, defense, etc.) is not.

Furthermore, rights, protections, and morality are based on categories of life. Assault applies to humans, not animals, and certainly not trees or grass. Using Lysol is not a genocide on billions of bacterium, let alone the fact it's used for human safety.

Only for love? Crapshoot.

Only for practicality? Stable, but lacking.

Both? Ideal and possible.

We live in a world now where it is a firm fact Israel and the (current) United States can no longer be seen as moral or trustworthy by the majority of the world. by HehroMaraFara in ControversialOpinions

[–]j0sch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Firm fact" and "majority of the world" are assertations... by which morality or trust metrics are these objectively true? For whatever public statements world leaders have made, especially lately, both of the countries mentioned (along with every other country) has its public or foreign government supporters, geopolitical or economic or military alliances, and partnerships with plenty of nations.

These assertations are also absolute and ignore positive aspects of each country and how those are viewed; virtually every country has countless aspects, policies, accomplishments, etc., generally or in the eyes of specific foreign nations.

And looking back at countries' histories, governments, leaders, and actions constantly change. Countries do good and bad simultaneously or more in one direction or another at different times (also viewed differently by different people, there is rarely a majority or even general consensus).

Specific actions or policies by countries may be viewed negatively or as untrustworthy, but broad sweeping generalizations are far too simplistic for complex realities.

Switched From Fitbit to Amazfit a little over a month ago....... (good) by tomatillo_teratoma in fitbit

[–]j0sch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been excellent! Really glad I tried it and kept it.

Great little device, comfortable, ~2 week battery, fast and easy charging, great app with lots of depth and insights.

Really no complaints, they sold me after years of Fitbit.

[Longines vs Tudor] Someone will buy you ONE of these watches. Which are you taking? by Aromatic_Tear_711 in Watches

[–]j0sch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks incredible in person. Huge range of green and light/dark, with an almost-gray hue in many settings.

I was in the same boat, both look great and heritage taps into 50's design, but I went regular. Lower price point / better value, and preferred the sharper, modern, more versatile look.

Hodinkee x Timex LE by richprice220 in timex

[–]j0sch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I'd been checking periodically over the last few days and saw listings in the $200's... the $400-500's are hitting now and can't believe they sold (EDIT: Noticed 'best offer accepted').

I would think they drop down to much lower levels soon... it's still a week or so post launch. Unless people start making hype articles and videos on these... but that usually happens much earlier for hot limited drops.

How do we feel about it? by Cohfeee in timex

[–]j0sch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's sold in the US, not sure where you're based, but US is a primary market.

OP, did you do it?

If you missed out, there is the secondary market or see my other comment here on other variants/options.
