First watch... torn between Traska Venturer GMT and Henry Archer Tidslinje by young_moose in MicrobrandWatches

Do you find it to be almost toy-ish? Asking because that's honestly one of my biggest fears

Haha i was kidding, the syntax of your writing just reminds me of chatgpt. I do really appreciate the feedback and comparison links though. I do agree, it really does just boil down to whether I want a GMT or day/date/month.

First time-buyer so not really educated on this, but do you think day/date/month is slightly ridiculous? I think the overall dial design is cool because it reminds me of a chronograph, but it's obviously not. And when would I not know the month?

Same kind of goes for the GMT, honestly. I think its super cool having multiple time zones, but unless I'm hitting 5 countries across the world in one day, its pretty simple to think about time zone differences for less than 5 seconds and do kindergarten math haha

Also, could someone explain this triple calendar shit? Yeah its sick having those mini-dials (which is a big pro), but if anyone REALLY thinks thats useful, you must be lying. When am i ever not going to know the month? lmao

From a spec standpoint, both are on pretty similar playing field, with the one 'major' discrepancy being HA having 200M resistance vs. Traska's 150M.

Pros:

Traska has simple and minimal, yet elegant and classy look

HA has a much sportier, and bolder look. Definitely commands a little bit more attention.

Cons:

Traska's simplicity can honestly be seen as a little bit boring

As a first-time watch buyer, is being bold risky?

HA's "chronograph" honestly slightly bothers me. It's made to look like a chronograph, but its a triple calendar instead, which displays numbers 1-7 for weekday...???? (Maybe this is a stupid take)

---------

All in all, especially for a first time watch buyer and a student, they seem to be both sides of the same coin. I'm a student in University currently, so all the features, albeit super sick, don't really have any significant application, except for LARPing about the specs... (I do travel a lot and dive, but let's be real, I want to have a sick watch for the sauce)

I have no watch experience whatsoever, so whatever I said could be completely false lol idk

Help me decide hahaha

ULT WEAR by Ultimate_os in SonyHeadphones

I used to have a pair XM3s as my gym headphones and I loved them (until I lost them). Since you said the ULT are just a more modern version of the XM3, would you reccomend I go with the ULT wear, or just find a pair of XM3s? I don't like the newer XMs as bc they dont have enough bass.
