Wristwatches, watches and watch-like gadgets

I didn't realise it was a sunray dial. Gorgeous.
Cheers. :)

Not really a colour I'd go for so wanted to see one to make sure it wasn't too gold/'bling'.

As mentioned, it was hard to find anywhere stocking it. Tried 5 places before finding one when I was in Newcastle over my birthday. :)
 
Or he could have remortgaged his house to buy a watch.
But man, its bold and tasteless and innovative at the same time.
I imagine a one or two watch person buying that, possibly a white trainer's guy with gold teeth. fake hair and fake abs. I don't know why.
I would have to remortgage my place many times over to be able to buy that. It would be ok with a different strap and proves money does not buy taste.
 
I'm thinking to combine an analogue watch with a watch strap that can do contactless payments.

It's possible through some of the partners that work with Curve cards. Obviously Swatch have Swatchpay but that limits you to the range that Swatch do.

Curve have a number of partners though who do watch straps. Here's one of them. AdornPay. Based in the Netherlands. I'm tempted with the 20% off. But the shipping from there to the UK pushes it back up to £48 which irks me.

 
I've lost patience waiting for my watch to come back, so I bought this in the meantime. I had some links taken out up here near Derby. Just £4.

Bought a Kronaby Diver from eBay. It’s a hybrid - analogue with “smart” features. Battery is supposed to last 2 years.

Much bigger than the Withings/Nokia Steel I’ve been using for the last few years. Will see how I get on.

I saw a colleague was also wearing the classic Casio digital watch. Snap!

"You seen this?" he asked, and proceeded to show me that if you press and hold the button on the right the display says CASIO. Mind blown.
 
Quick update; Ive just received an email to say my watch is ready to collect, from the West End.
3 whole months, it had better be sparkling. Next problem is I don't think I have time to get up
there today, meaning I will have to try and drag up there tomorrow :(

Very cool.
