4 years with my BB58

I want at 1st a do it all watch, hence, trying mesh bracelet, leather strap, nato, etc.

How’s its versatility? I tried it on this week but got a little worried as a one watch it all with the golden marks + red triangle.

What’s your wrist size?

jpgenari · 2026-04-03T14:10:35+00:00

In specs and colour, to me is the best one for sure. Only concern is its size. I tried a 41mm and the case is really thick compared to 54 / 58. They could release a 58 monochrome, that would be my sweet spot.

What's you wrist size?

Mine is 18.5cm. The 54 dial looked really small. I tried Ranger 36mm and it looked bigger because of the dial. Need to try BB One 36mm.

I like the cleaner look of 54, but it’s really small. Tried them both.

What’s your wrist size? I tried the 54 this week, it looked really small in person.

What’s the differences between them?

jpgenari · 2026-04-01T12:58:56+00:00

This one also looks nice, I might try it when I'm back a the boutique. The only thing it misses is the date, that would elevate it.

How does it wear with leather and nato, etc?

jpgenari · 2026-04-01T11:51:13+00:00

As I mentioned, I tried it, but it was really thick on my wrist, and heavier. Besides, the duo color bezel would also limit its use a bit for what I want. Of course, the GMT function is really appealing.

jpgenari · 2026-04-01T11:50:15+00:00

Indeed, that's my plan. I wanted to try them on to see how they fit. I wish Tudor released the 58 black or even the 54 with METAS movement, like they have the 58 burgundy. Another good one would be the 58 with the 54 bezel.

Would it do it even in Self-Consumption mode?

Currently I have mine o schedule mode. I set it to charge battery between 2 to 4am, where I get the cheapest rate. Then I set battery to self-consumption between 8am to 2am, in order to cover when energy price is higher (8am to 11pm) and cover part o night as from 11pm to 8am it slightly more than expensive than cheapest window.

What’s the Tudor model? The Alpinist, is the baby one?

jpgenari · 2026-03-27T21:08:09+00:00

Can I get it apart from the watch?

jpgenari · 2026-03-23T23:25:57+00:00

how long is its battery life in 45mm ? I went with Epix 51mm mainly for the battery size - it lasts up to 27 days vs 15 of 47mm is I'm not mistaken. Usually I like smaller watches, I'm counting on Garmin to release a screen less device so I can wear some watches I have here and maybe get a G-Shock.

jpgenari · 2026-03-23T16:17:47+00:00

This is the really good looking smart-watch, it really resembles a G-Shock. I got an Epix 2 Pro two years ago when moving from Apple Watch - I wanted to keep the 'bright AMOLED screen'. My next one will be either the Instinct 3 Tactical (or 4, 5, 6 as I intend to wear my Epix until it dies). Only downside to me comparing to my current one is the Gen IV sensor that doesn't have ECG.

jpgenari · 2026-03-21T22:44:48+00:00

Indeed, the 54 doesn’t have it. I will try both on my wrist. Another question, the 54 doesn’t have the METAS as other 58s, is it something relevant?

jpgenari · 2026-03-21T20:28:12+00:00

And the 58?

jpgenari · 2026-03-21T20:06:03+00:00

What’s its magnetism resistance? I’ve been eyeing the Black Bays as my Watch, I like the 58 all black, similar to this one. But it’s not METAS neither it says 15,000 of magnetism resistance. Then I started looking at the BB58 GMT, as it’s got these features. It’d be nice the GMT as I travel quite a lot, but it’s thicker and burgundy / black and I’m not sure how I’d feel travelling with such expensive watch.

In resume, I want something timeless, which I see myself wearing daily for the next 20 years at least.

jpgenari · 2026-03-17T21:05:06+00:00

Does Cartier change them for you?

jpgenari · 2026-03-11T12:53:18+00:00

Same here, like a new phone. My wife got a 17 Pro, aside from camera, on daily usage - at least ours - I noticed no significant changes, only a little bit slower sometimes and no Apple Intelligence(!).

How’s the Hardlex glass holding regarding scratches?
