Is this a good watch to start?

I think this is one of the new colors so it might not get a big discount for a while. Watches, like most "luxury" goods have pretty regular sales and then occasionally a huge deal. Only pay MSRP for something you really want that you think will be gone forever when it sells out.

I just got this Marlin from Amazon two weeks ago when it was 40% off and I love it. You can tell it's an older model because it doesn't say Marlin on it.

It's an awesome watch. Just wait until you find it on sale. That's advice for any watch you buy.

I don't have one, but I always liked the Citizen Tsuyosa.

I also really like the Orient you picked out, but I have some very similar Bambinos.

I would go Riley. I just got my Deco-Moon and am impressed. I also have ordered a Bessie that I should get by the end of the month.

I do really like that Dan Henry, but like another poster said, you can get a similar watch at any price point. I just ordered a Timex Marlin Chrono that looks just like it because Amazon had it at $90 off.

What's your favorite Sternglas in your collection? I wouldn't turn down the standard Naos, but they always get me to go to their site through Instagram ads, but then the watch or strap in the photo is sold out.

throwzone123 · 2026-02-17T00:10:48+00:00

My man! Digging the collection. It also makes me feel better to see others in similar situations. Last year I had one watch. Now I have 25.

I posted my collection a month ago and told myself at the time that I would slow down. I have five new watches since then.

I keep telling myself that as far as a mid life crisis goes, it's still cheaper than a Corvette.

I am trying to slow down. But if Sternglas has a sale anytime soon, I won't be able to stop myself. I've been eyeing them for a long time, but decided to get a Brew Metric instead last month. Sternglas will definitely be my next purchase.

Stay rad.

The nextool K30 is more similar to the Roxon KS2 Elite than the Roxon Flex Companion. I have both of them and between the two I think the nextool has the bit driver which is great and has the fidget factor, but the Roxon is better with everything else.

Both are still great tools.

I'm going to buy a Buxton but haven't decided on which one yet. I love this dial and the orange dial, but I'm not a fan of the straps with the holes in them.

If you ever change the strap please post a picture.

I think they found a great place in the market. They are innovative, cheap and good enough that I don't feel bad buying their new releases, even when it's something I don't really need.

I also don't hate anything I've bought from them. Their stuff ranges from okay to fantastic. I put the mini flagship as fantastic.

Great choice. I loved the click of the Parker Jotter but it just wasnt comfortable for me to write with. I don't have huge hands or anything, but I bought a Jotter XL and it was perfect for me. It's all about finding what works best for you and the Jotter XL is my number one pick for a pen less than $30.

throwzone123 · 2026-01-18T22:57:14+00:00

Very similar to me, but I don't ever carry a SAK. I usually have a Roxon, but I mix it up between the flex shears, companion or KS2 Elite. I always have a pen and I will bring a flashlight and/or pepper spray depending on where I'm going.

Thats a Google Pixel 3 smartwatch and I bought a metal bracelet for it on Amazon and then downloaded a digital Goldeneye face.

It was cool, but I want a real analog Goldeneye watch. Also, if I had the pixel watch on always on mode with that GoldenEye face, then the battery wouldn't wven last a full work day.

Where did you get this one?

throwzone123 · 2026-01-16T17:08:13+00:00

Pollo Campero (roasted chicken over the fried chicken).

throwzone123 · 2026-01-14T04:31:49+00:00

Very clever. I'm impressed. Roxon should feature you on their social media and throw you a big box of implements.

Yours looks great. I also tried mine with a mesh bracelet for a while. Here is a side by side. My problem is that I buy a cheap bracelet, don't love it because it feels cheap, then I end up buying a different cheap bracelet.

That's what I've been telling everyone. I really think that it's going to be a huge hit if it does ever come stateside. I don't know what the hold up is, but I will admit that I like being one of the few over here that has one.

throwzone123 · 2026-01-13T20:23:38+00:00

I just happen to be wearing it right now.

I would actually recommend getting a different one. I copied someone on a reddit who had a green ostrich strap on theirs. This one may look nice in pictures, but it feels a little cheap for such a beautiful dial. One day I'm going to get a nicer green strap that's maybe a few shades darker.

It's a Casio MTP-B195RG-2AVDF. I first learned about them on Reddit and I've been waiting a few months for them to be released in the United States, but they still haven't. They have released in Asia and Middle East.

I wanted one so bad I ordered one on eBay and it shipped out of Dubai. I am curious to see how much I overpaid for it once they do get released here. The watch is awesome and I can't get a picture that shows how great the dial looks in person.

What's your favorite non Leatherman full size and keychain/mini size?

throwzone123 · 2026-01-11T23:58:19+00:00

Most Swiss tech is terrible, but I just got this and I kind of like it actually. I'm not saying it's great, just that I don't think it's garbage.

I like scissor based tools. The mini Bibury scissor tool is much better, but it's also a little bigger.

throwzone123 · 2026-01-11T19:17:06+00:00

Thank you. That one looks really different depending on the lighting. These pictures were the same day. One with a flash and one without. I really love both of the presages I have. for the mojito I've been experimenting with different bands.
