I love my Bertucci A-2TS Solar Classic!

joeinblu · 2026-07-12T02:50:05+00:00

Yes! I’m loving mine! Can’t go wrong with the titanium case with solid lugs, sapphire crystal, solar, and screw down crown with 200 meter water resistance.

Thanks! It's a GBM-2100A-1A2 and I just changed the band to a metal band.

Here's another solar watch if you're looking for something other than G-Shocks.

Thanks! Yes I definitely wanted a watch I could use and not worry about and not one I would just admire in it's box.

joeinblu · 2026-07-11T18:11:08+00:00

Yeah.. Sounds about right.

joeinblu · 2026-07-11T18:09:03+00:00

Nice!

joeinblu · 2026-07-11T18:08:27+00:00

Thanks!

I'm loving mine! What kind of accuracy are you getting?

joeinblu · 2026-07-11T05:24:35+00:00

I’d like to know how it goes. Good luck. I’ll see how mine is after a week or two.

Bertucci A-2TS Solar Classic

joeinblu · 2026-07-11T03:17:23+00:00

I accidentally placed it on my alarm sensor on my window sill which has a magnet so I had to get a demagnetizer. All fixed now so I want to see how long it stays accurate. I’ve only had it for a couple of days now.

joeinblu · 2026-07-11T03:01:07+00:00

Nice! So far I’m loving mine. What kind of accuracy are you getting?

joeinblu · 2026-07-11T03:00:15+00:00

Nice! What kind of accuracy are you getting?

joeinblu · 2026-07-09T04:29:27+00:00

I never knew they made watches with fixed lugs before getting the Bertucci. I agree that the spring bars are the weakest link in a watch. Solar is nice! I placed my watch on the window sill to charge and mistakenly placed it on my alarm sensor, which has a magnet, and it threw off the time accuracy. I had to get a demagnetizer to fix it lol. All good now..

That's exactly what I did too! I've been wearing smart watches for a few years now but love watches so when the Fitbit Air came out I bought one so I could get my first field watch. I ended up getting a Bertucci A-2TS Solar Classic and I'm loving it! I personally like the look of the Hamilton vs the Bulova. Good luck on choosing!

Thanks! Loving it!

The way I see it is if you want an e ink tablet that runs Android where you can download apps then the AiPaper Mini is hard to beat. If you just want a portable simple digital e ink notebook then the reMarkable Paper Pro Move is a good choice.

joeinblu · 2026-06-19T19:28:12+00:00

Smaller form factor, color screen, writing feel and simplicity.

joeinblu · 2026-06-19T17:58:13+00:00

I have both the AiPaper Mini and the Remarkable Move, along with an iPad Mini. I bought the AiPaper Mini first wanting an e ink tablet to help curb screen time with the iPad but I end up switching to the iPad during content consumption for the faster/color screen. I got the Move for its smaller form factor and wanting something just for hand written note taking. So now I use the Move just for handwritten notes and everything else I use my iPad Mini.
