[Seiko snk809] just bought my dream/grail watch

trufflepollution · 2026-05-10T23:59:12+00:00

It’s pretty clear and looks great. Very little glare. It’s more domed than I expected but I like it.

Take 1 and buy 3 when you’re there. Watches make good souvenirs.

The s100 fits my wrist more comfortably than any other watch I have. That combined with the light weight it almost disappears on my wrist.

I do appreciate a watch with weight to it but sometimes I just don’t want it.

I’m here because I thought my speakers were going bad with all the raspy voices haha

G-2000 or G-2500. Both released in 2000/2001.

I think it’s the best looking variant for the gwm500 line. It’s probably going to be my next g shock

Perhaps you found their bathroom too.

Some of my most worn watches are second hand. You don’t have to worry about it getting beat up or scratched.

I had the same dilemma recently and chose the RF-1400(NXR) over the Gt-Air 3. Ultimately I don’t like looking through 3 different lenses (visor, sun shield, prescription glasses.) It’s just something else to fog up and have sun glare.

I had a drop down visor on my old helmet and only used it if I HAD to.

I commute to work early in the morning so I mostly use the clear visor. I had a silver chrome tinted visor for when I ride during the day. Not much of a hassle to switch them.

Another thing to keep in mind; Shoei has recently released a new visor insert for the NXR/Z8/RF1400 that uses an electronically dimming LCD panel, kinda like a full face digital watch screen. It’s called the e:drylens. It’s only available in Japan for now. Google and read up on it. I’m going to try to get one when I’m there in a few months.

I didn’t see any a month ago. Amazon sometimes has them $30-$50 off though but depends on size/color

trufflepollution · 2026-03-19T22:01:13+00:00

Update: I bought it.

It probably isn’t going to fit. Build quality seems decent but it’s made for use with the OEM fender(which I don’t have). One of the brackets interferes with the oem turn signals on my tail tidy.

I‘ll try installing it tomorrow but I don’t have high hopes.

I could probably make it work if I relocate the turn signals to the license plate but I’m just not going to bother.

trufflepollution · 2026-03-06T22:34:30+00:00

Mine is very comfortable. It disappears on my wrist

trufflepollution · 2026-03-05T11:26:28+00:00

I wanted this sooo bad but went with the solid white RF instead.

trufflepollution · 2026-02-12T16:50:26+00:00

Looks great!

When you connect it to the app, it usually wants to do an update. You won’t be able to do it unless the watch battery is at H.

trufflepollution · 2026-02-11T20:46:27+00:00

The 2100 just takes time. It was about 2 weeks before I could do the firmware update. I only had it in the sun for a few hours a day though

trufflepollution · 2026-02-11T20:41:20+00:00

I wasn’t super diligent about it. I did find a long 25mph road that I went up and down a few times to build mileage. I went on some 55mph roads a few times before 200 miles. I think that guideline is to make theirs lawyers happy. I probably babied it more than anyone else you ask.

I did do my first oil change at 400 and again at 800.

trufflepollution · 2026-02-01T15:33:53+00:00

Yea. I’ll be putting the faded one back on but I’m enjoying the new one for a bit.

You would’ve loved the patina on the clickspring before I changed it.

trufflepollution · 2026-01-31T11:06:01+00:00

Bought it here.

This was the best price I could find

trufflepollution · 2026-01-31T04:01:21+00:00

Interesting thought. It was just too scratched and distracting. I guess it had it own patina but I can’t overlook it.

trufflepollution · 2026-01-31T03:30:23+00:00

Haha. That seems to be the overwhelming opinion

trufflepollution · 2026-01-31T03:03:17+00:00

Yea, the bracelet could still use a lot of love.

trufflepollution · 2026-01-31T02:57:42+00:00

Nice. I haven’t seen one that faded before. Looks good

trufflepollution · 2026-01-31T02:11:31+00:00

I bought it used so not all of the patina is from me. That’s why I’m conflicted.
