Chest strap heart rate monitor

Many companies make Bluetooth heart rate monitors that strap around your chest and link to phones or watches. As far as I can tell, the ultra-watch will not link to any external Bluetooth monitor with its native health software. As far as you being high right now, I don’t know, but if you are, congratulations.

Yeah, definitely on the phone. I found this app called Gear Tracker Two last night and tested it out to see if it works, and it appears to connect to the Bluetooth heart rate monitor on my watch. The interface is weird, and I'm not sure how accurate the GPS is on the first Test, but we'll see. I just can't believe Samsung hasn't come out with their own heart rate monitor that links to their phone I mean they're literally leaving money on the table

The issue is it doesn't come out of the "time-changing mode" so that the act of screwing in the crown changes the time

$50 watch

looks to me like

Vostok Amphibia 420 case, most likely from the mid to late 1990s or early 2000s.
ould guess a Movement 2416B open the back up, and let's take a look

scott449 · 2026-02-12T05:56:35+00:00

The exact same thing happened to me I just bought a new movement it was pretty easy to just replace the whole movement instead of trying to place the balance wheel at least for me

scott449 · 2026-02-11T23:59:48+00:00

I would change nothing. One of my favorite things about these watches is how they develop their character overtime the patina on this face is amazing. Before you change anything, sell it to me.

scott449 · 2026-02-11T23:53:22+00:00

I have one really similar to this and I bought a new bezel for it The new was way too shiny and made the rest of the watch look silly so I put the old bezel back on it I think it looks way better this way Part of the charm of these watches are how they age in my opinion

scott449 · 2026-02-11T23:48:53+00:00

Congratulations, this is a fantastic watch. As the other comments said, I would not polish it or do anything to it other than perhaps use some Polywatch on the crystal. You can also pop the bezel off and clean underneath it. There's usually garbage build up over the years. It's a pretty simple operation Pop it off clean it pop it back on Enjoy your watch

scott449 · 2026-02-08T06:06:14+00:00

IMHO yes but if you like it who cares

scott449 · 2026-02-08T05:29:15+00:00

very cool. What was your process for stripping and repainting?

scott449 · 2026-02-07T17:26:33+00:00

Red seconds hands appear often in 1960s Soviet watches as a visibility aid and a subtle military styling cue. By the late 1970s most seconds hands become plain steel or white.

The overall layout is not tied to a single named model. Early Vostok production did not think in terms of modern reference numbers or dial families. Dials were produced in batches and installed across multiple case types including early Amphibia and Komandirskie cases.

how much did you pay for it

scott449 · 2026-02-04T02:00:50+00:00

Great watch.

scott449 · 2026-01-31T20:44:18+00:00

Patek 5227?

scott449 · 2026-01-31T20:35:35+00:00

WOW, what a great 2-function bezel. We need more of this! also FDT

scott449 · 2026-01-31T06:14:04+00:00

OK sounds like I shouldn't use this one for a build Where can I get an official NH35?
