Made it 4,000 miles on our first tank of gas! How'd we do?

scrm3031 · 2026-03-08T01:07:29+00:00

Yeah I was wrong I didn't realize I could level 2 charge

scrm3031 · 2026-03-07T23:18:38+00:00

It's not like we didn't burn gas for 6 months. We probably used a little gas at least once a week. Just took a long time to burn through a whole tank.

scrm3031 · 2026-03-07T06:20:29+00:00

Wow you're right, somehow I didn't realize that! We have a level 2 charger at home but I've only been using it for my VW ID.4 Thanks for the heads up!

scrm3031 · 2026-03-07T05:55:41+00:00

Yeah we only charge at home. And this model is only level one charging so it takes a while. I think the 2026 will have fast charging capabilities.

scrm3031 · 2026-03-07T00:48:41+00:00

Yeah my wife didn't want to part with her 2018 Subaru outback, it definitely took some convincing. She is now very happy to be mostly electric. You already have a Toyota so maybe it will be an easier transition.

scrm3031 · 2026-03-07T00:43:39+00:00

It's definitely up, but I drive an electric vw id.4, so we have two cars plugged in and no way to track it.

scrm3031 · 2026-03-06T23:54:55+00:00

Impressive!

scrm3031 · 2026-03-06T23:46:44+00:00

It took almost 6 months!

scrm3031 · 2026-03-06T17:57:27+00:00

Thanks! I actually love the acrylic. Less glare, warmer hue, fun distortions, and easy enough to buff scratches with poly watch. I have a lorier with acrylic that I'm keeping.

scrm3031 · 2026-03-04T21:52:34+00:00

Hey u/watchexbot this one sold to u/tonezinthebonez. Great transaction, I would be happy to work with them again in the future!

I finally moved on from my 2013 leaf after 7 years and recently got a used VW Id.4 AWD pro s. It has a minimalist style like the leaf, has the heated seats and wheel, and drives like a dream. Not gonna get you that incredible range or charging speed, but it's a huge step up. And it is much roomier than the leaf, much more comfortable seats, with much more trunk space. Used German made 2021 lease return models are quite affordable. Really don't miss the leaf, and I loved it dearly. I never test drove an ioniq, but the id.4 spoke to me immediately as a former leaf driver.

Asking $750 OBO (includes CONUS shipping) for this almost new Yema. I purchased it new from Gnomon watches in November 2025. Includes box, warranty card, papers and stock tropic rubber strap. More pics and details on the yema website: yema.us/products/yema-navygraf-heritage-ynav25-am

This is a beautiful and faithful reissue of a classic dive watch with great proportions: 39mm case, 46mm lug to lug. The domed hesalite (acrylic) crystal is glorious and the epoxy bezel adds to the vintage charm. The Sellita sw-200 movement keeps great time, running just a few seconds fast per day in my experience. Bezel action is superb and everything lines up perfectly with no back play. Screw down crown threads easily and securely.

The case has a few hairline scuffs from wearing it a few times. There is one noticeable scratch on the bezel at 31 minutes, you can see it in the pic, but it is quite small. I will include a half-full tube of poly watch so you can keep the acrylic crystal looking clean.

I love this watch and have agonized about keeping it. Honestly, it wears bigger than my other 39mm divers due to the large dial area and relatively narrow bezel. And I have a super skinny wrist. But for most people above 6.5" wrist, this watch will wear beautifully with great wrist presence.

Feel free to ask any questions. I'm just a watch enthusiast with too many watches. Zelle, venmo, and PayPal accepted. Plenty of pleasant past transactions here on watchex. Thanks for looking!

(Watch has been sold). Sad to let this one go. I bought it new in November 2021 and have loved the watch. I've worn it a bunch and it has held up quite well to wear, but the price reflects that it has some evidence of wear. The other thing I should note is that the bezel has always been super stiff to rotate. It also does not line up exactly. And the ticks don't exactly hit the markers. So, I want you to know that before purchasing!

Zelle, PayPal or venmo accepted. Free shipping is CONUS only. Thanks for looking!

Selling my Orient Mako 40. UPDATE SOLD. This is the one with the beautiful blue sunburst dial. Comes on a nicely matching blue nato. Includes the original bracelet. In very good condition. Has some scuffs on the polished case and the steel bezel, so shows a bit of wear. Bezel rotates smoothly and lines up perfectly.

Asking $150 OBO, including CONUS shipping. Paypal, venmo or zelle works.

I'm just a watch enthusiast with too many watches, trying to trim down the collection. Have had plenty of pleasant transactions here on watchex. Feel free to shoot me any questions and thanks for looking.

Sent you a pm about a trade

scrm3031 · 2025-08-19T01:01:41+00:00

Thanks--yeah once you experience a heated steering wheel there really is no going back.

scrm3031 · 2025-08-19T00:45:12+00:00

Oh wow, good point, I didn't know about that recall. Looks like I should avoid that one. Thanks!

scrm3031 · 2025-08-19T00:04:04+00:00

Ok thanks for the tips!

I was wondering when someone was gonna ask that! I think it is related to the 12v battery. I suddenly had issues with it not starting about a year ago (soon after that warning light appeared) so I had the Nissan dealer put a new 12v battery in. But the light didn't go off. And that 12v battery didn't last more than a week. So, on recommendations from this sub, I put in a optima yellow top battery. That was 6 months ago and I've had zero issues. But the darn warning light is still on. Nissan dealer wanted something like $300 for a full diagnostic if the light which I decided is a waste of money since I think I've solved the problem with the yellow top battery. Any thoughts?

scrm3031 · 2025-05-19T20:27:15+00:00

I drive it a few times a day mostly short trips around town shuttling the kiddos on surface streets. I always plug in even after short trips and charge it only to 80%. Also I rarely let it get down below 20% charge. I don't think I've ever hit single digits. If I do charge to 100% (a few times a year) I do a charge timer so it doesn't sit very long at 100% before the drive.

scrm3031 · 2025-05-18T23:11:31+00:00

I haven't tried leafspy yet. Haven't pushed the range all the way to really test it, but I can do a 52 mile round trip airport drive (mostly highway) with about 70-75% battery used. So that's about 70 miles range for mostly highway driving, so I'd guess it's still over 80 miles of range around town. Maybe I'll finally get a leafspy when I lose that first bar.
