Do people actually wear these things with NATO straps? They’re fucking hideous.
Do people actually wear these things with NATO straps? They’re hecking hideous. Sure, the original strap is prone to breaking, but I’d rather pay $10 every year or so than wear one of those abominations.
I don’t know why somebody would get that instead of a gshock
Must be that minimalism autism
Tbh I prefer this on single-pass nylon.
Some people should actually wear smaller watches. And for what it’s worth, g-shocks are too tall and gaudy for the most part.
gshocks are ugly and cringe as heck
lmao please tell me you’re not serious. g-shocks are middle schooler-tier
if the hidden lugs bother you, you can just buy a 20mm nato and melt the strap a little bit with a torch around the lugs for a flush look, or you can just buy a F-84W instead.
g shocks are too bulky for running, and there aren’t a lot of good g shock choices for small wrists.
they’re all cheap watches, so it’s not like anything is stopping you from owning both.
pretty much this
maybe throw in a square g shock just because they’re so cheap
i would personally go with a dive watch or field watch over the timex, fits my wardrobe a bit better.
I agree. I dislike both the look and just as importantly the feel against the skin of everything but the original strap. Over the years I’ve tried wearing other watches but they are never as good as this one with its original strap or a unofficial equivalent. You can buy unofficial/fake replacement straps off ebay though cheaper versions are not super common/easy to locate like you might think, I buy a ton at a time. You are completely right.
It is the perfect watch + strap. It could only be improved if they could add new functions while keeping the same weight, size, feel of buttons, and so on. But no other watch does this.

Having said this, I’m looking at ebay now and there are tons around. I guess when I was buying them a long time ago there wasn’t as many. I can confirm though that the replacements are pretty much just as good as the original though if I was nitpicking I would probably choose the original.
just use your phone
you want me to drive home, pick up my phone, and call someone, and somehow that will make sure that I can check the time when I’m out? Does that make any sense?

>not using a Duro instead of the Timex to keep it as a Casio set
where did you get that bracelet?
kino af
Pretty much any watch shop in the mall. You can get official ones but they can be hard to find, otherwise the ones at a watch shop are fine.
>bracelet
Holy heck America is doomed.
Band and bracelet are both accepted terms worldwide. Settle down autismo.
just bought a duro actually, it’s coming tomorrow 🙂
It arrived 🙂
That’s a good looking watch, are you going to keep the original strap?
absolutely not, just gonna find a good replacement first.
yeah I know the silicone strap makes it look tacky, gonna replace it asap.
Gold accents with silicone wasn’t something I was even prepared to be disgusted by.
Based. I can’t decide on sticking with the strap or getting the bracelet.
looks amazing,is that a nato strap?
Yep, a blue NATO strap that almost exactly matches the blue of the watch face.
I just bit into my own nuts.
should recieve my Duro this week, it looks so good with a bracelet, like completely different watch
Replace timex with seiko snk series and you’re good.

>Not having solar
Why?
they just came out with a solar + bluetooth version

Nobody cares, poorfag.

My Casioak came in today, I really like it. Wears much slimmer and lighter on the wrist than the profile would initially suggest, pretty sure it’s net slightly slimmer than my usual daily driver of a Seiko 5 pseudo-diver.
>My Casio-ACK!
The joke write itself.

No dress watch though. Had the Mako for 10 years, my first baby and still serves as dress watch with different strap
what strap u use?
you can polish the scratch with any polishing paste
only 3 watches you need are a basic casio, seiko dive watch and soviet shitter dress watch
You only need one of those. You shpuldn’t wear a watch to a formal occasion because the only place you need to be is at that occasion.
you seriously have to wear three watches like that to check the time? are you stupid?
yes
I do.
greetings fellow F-84 anon
The NATOs look ridiculous so I stick with the regular strap. I don’t get why people say it’s prone to breaking, I’ve worn mine while swimming, showering, hiking etc for almost 3 years now.
NATO strap is just a cloth strap, right? Sounds like a huge comfort improvement over the weird plasticky one it comes with.
The reason they look like shit is because they don’t flair out to meet the watch like the original strap. Just sew a little trapezoid on them like this and they’ll look fine.
to me it looks more like shit selection of color for the two right
show trapezoid and no-trapezoid in same strap color
>shit selection of color for the two right
That might also be true, but look how much worse the black strap is without the trapezoid.
guess it looks better with it
where does one get this trapezoid thing?
Just cut a piece of pleather into shape and sew it on.
ah i see, very nice touch, it really makes a difference
The issue just seems to be that the stock strap is tapered and nato straps aren’t. I can’t imagine that it’d be impossible for non nato nylon straps to be tapered, so maybe that would work? I can’t seem to find any online even though there are lots of tapered leather and silicone straps, but I’m sure somebody has seen them somewhere.
I really like the look of this. Thinking about getting this with this F-91W and trying this nato + trapezoid thing. What color nato strap should I get if I do?
Honestly I think it looks dope with the clear strap
if you’ve ever had a clear phone case you’d know that that strap will turn brown after like 4 months of every day use
>Do people actually wear these things
no it’s a meme for a reason
for me it’s the A700

legit the best looking watch ever
i was thinking of using a nato just because it more comfortable especially in the summer, that rubber makes u sweat
Pfft i only wear patek and the OMEGA SPEEDMASTER MAN ON THE MOON. All casio wrist watches are SHITTERS
>al qaeda watch with a nato strap
huh?
imagine unironically wearing a hecking clock on your hand lel
rubber makes you sweat, a $2 nylon strap is infinitely better
Yes, ugly autistic people do. A watch is a convenience and a fashion accessory. this shit is like a walmart fedora and a nato strap is like finishing off the look with a party city dracula cape.
>and a nato strap is like finishing off the look with a party city dracula cape
wtf I love nato straps now?
The ops pic model looks ridiculous. If your wrists are too small and you dont want to spend a lot of money just get a seiko.
Pic related is my gshock.
Oh those seikos are pretty pricey too
The F-91W is yet another overrated /g/ meme, the strap on mine broke after a few months.
At the very least is cheap, but I still regret buying it.
Then get a NATO strap, the watch itself is great but the strap is shit
A watch that doesn’t come with a proper strap is a shit watch. The F-91W is just an overrated /g/ meme, nothing more.
I mean, you could just replace the only shit part of the product to have a great product instead
>regret buying a $15 watch
Nigga just how damn poor are you?
A penny saved is a penny earned. It could have cost 1 cent for all I care, it was a poor purchase anyway and a bad product.
I’ve come to hate built-in resin straps for this reason. All my watches that "broke" have been due to the resin strap tearing for no good reason.
Now my beater watch is a casio with a metal bracelet.
probably fake casio lmao
It bothers me that I’ve found plenty of striped NATO straps but none striped like a pride flag.
Boys wear Bin Ladens.
Men wear Elektronika.

thanks for inspiring me to scroll through ebay looking for soviet watches, I found some cool designs
Nobody who wears this is getting anywhere in life. It’s just meant for poor nerds with 0 aesthetic taste. You can swap your nice watch for something like this at home if you really want (plastic is infinitely trash and so is having printed stupid-tier tutorials on your watch like "MODE" and "ALARM ON/OFF / 24HR" or "F-91W"). Anyone who says otherwise is poor or dumb and can’t into watches, art, or mechanics.
Function over form is a lost art and you’re proof of it. It’s an effeminate trait that seems to be more common with each passing generation.
well you’re on /fashion/ after all, this board miss out on the femenine board top spot only because boards like /cm/ and /hm/ exist
Old ladies used to compliment me on my watch all the time when I worked cashier.
Was it a Casio?
>buying watches everytime the strap breaks
i must CONSOOOOOOM
Its cheaper to buy a new watch though
not really, nato straps are cheaper than a whole new casio f-91
kino coming through
Just got that one for my birthday: I did ask for an A700 but I was happy with what I got. Good to hear that it doesn’t wear as fast, to be frank.
Why not wear sometging with metal bravelet, the A168 or the A158 are great
I love the look of dive watches but have thin wrists and am poor. I’d buy a 38-40mm version of the Casio Duro even if they were €200. Citizen Promaster Sea 40mm has imo the ugliest indices and hands in that line. SKX013 is now like €350~400 for a used watch with a 7S26 movement and hardlex crystal.
If you don’t actually plan on diving with it, Seiko’s current pseudo-divers are a better daily wear watch. You’re halving the water resistance to ‘just’ 100 metres, and gaining a hacking/hand winding movement in the process.
Are there any smaller srpd models? I thought they were all 42.5, with 46mm lug to lug. My wrists have a diameter of 50mm so I’m pretty sure that’s a little too big.
The whole watch is hecking hideous you mongoloid.
the bandwidth of the casio duro is 22mm right?
i got a watch
> WHY DIDN’T YOU GET A REAL SEAMASTER?

> IT’S JUST A CHEAP DOWNS SYNDROME HOMAGE!

> YOU CAN’T JUST NOT BUY EXPENSIVE THING!
yes i can
Cool watch
Hate the polished centerlink on the bracelet tho.
ty might replace the strap anyway
Take the bracelet off and scrub it with a kitchen sponge rough side.
But it is a pretty had bracelet anyway, NATO, militaire national or mesh ftw. Seatbelt NATO can be found on Ali for 1 buck more than the shitty cheap polyester ones, no reason to go for those.
why didn’t you get a seiko?
>Invicta instead of the Casio Duro
Dude why? Invictas are garbage, both for build quality and for keeping time.
Invictas are the worst, sorry. I’d rather not have a watch than wear one.
model?
That’s just a dw5600 bro
yea but not the basic one
Okay? G-Shock autists are the worst.
>give wrong model
>g-shock autist!
rent free
Rent free in every watch thread yeah
It’s the JDM solar that costs like $300, with a metal screwdown case back. You can buy a 5610 with a bunch of colors on the glass for <$100. If you want it to look good, GW-5000U-1JF and $300
The secret to making f91s look good on other straps is to file lugs into them. If you do it right, it looks factory
This has been my dream for months now. Anyone knows where can I buy a similarly colored one? There’s a chinese knockoff on ebay but they don’t ship to my country
What about Casio A100WEGG with nylon strap? Or would silicone be better?

Too expensive for what it is.
Nice watch Mr. Skellington
My wrists are actually 7.6". I just have monster hands
Every watch I have worn gives me a rash. What material should I try?
Titanium, like the Lorus RXD425L8.
if it’s the backplate giving you a rash wear it with a one piece strap that covers the back
>I’d rather throw away a perfectly good watch every year
cringe
f91s and similar models synergize with NATO straps better than any other digital watch I can think of
They are so cheap I can’t stop buying them.
"Well, hello! Have you got the time?"

Hello
not in the pic: f91w, its in my home gym
I went to a restaurant once and the waiter was wearing one on black oiled leather, it looked ridiculous
>boop boop boop boop beep
I’ve lost the watches more than I’ve had straps break. I’ve only had one strap break, which I think has something to do with the material of the strap because it’s see through and more bendy than the black straps. I replaced the pin with a wire I had lying around.

Found a genuine one at a thrift store for a buck, trimmed+skeletonised the straps and hollowed out the internals, it’s about 10g lighter. Why? Autism.
Might get a funky coloured one and put on a matching nato strap
My man it’s already just about the lightest thing you can put on your wrist other than a livestrong band.
And now it’s lighter!
For context about my particular autism, my road bike weighs 4.5kg and is covered with holes, dremelled down parts and custom carbon fibre, I wear short shorts 90% of the year and sleep under a 200g tarp when I hike. It scratches a weird part of my brain.

What about filing the plastic into lugs? Sure it’s a mod that’s irreversable, but it’s also a $10-30 watch.
Severe lack of royale appreciation here
That watch is wearing you.
A diet of nicotine and spiced rum will do that to you
It’s not as bad irl but it’s pretty much the max size a wristcel like me can get away with
It’s because he has the camera lens ridiculously close to the watch
it’s warping the perspective.

I got mine in olive and it makes me feel like Big Boss. Feels almost small on my arm. I’m not large, but I guess I have wide wrists.
I like their look, but they seem too tacticool to actually wear. How do you wear one without looking like a mall ninja.
The silver one is a lot less tactical looking imo. You can also rub off the text on the case/face to make it look less cluttered. I did it on the case but not the face yet.
The only thing to worry about is how bulky it is. I only wear it with super casual outfits since it doesn’t fit with anything dressy.
At the end of the day the watch is like $30, so it really doesn’t hurt to buy it as a beater.
Does the silver one have silver looking plastic throughout or is it just a coating? It does look good, but if the coating were to scratch off with use then what’s the point in the more rugged design.
It is a cheap watch that could be a good casual wear beater, but I hate being wasteful too.
I believe the silver one is actually mostly stainless steel, but the inside is still resin. I’ve heard it actually shows less signs of wear than the resin model that I have.
At the end of the day it is a cheaper watch that’s meant to be beaten up. If you want something a bit more premium maybe look at the a158w, that’s mostly stainless steel. Or if you wanna go wayyy farther theres the G shock gmw line, but ~400 for a chunky G shock is kinda crazy.
>f you want something a bit more premium maybe look at the a158w
I can get an A158WEA for about the same price as the AE1200, the A158W also seems more wearable. Thanks for the tip anon.
Those look great, could their world time straps also be used with the A158W?
Get a vario leather strap for it

Are NATO straps the biggest meme/cope in the watch world ever? They are inferior in every conceivable way to both steel bracelets and rubber straps. They absorb moisture and take forever to dry, which means unless you never wash your hands, go swimming, or live life in general, the strap will reek within days, and pretty soon no matter how often you wash it the stink will be permanently ingrained within it. Furthermore they’re scratchy and uncomfortable as hell. You’re basically holding your watch on your wrist with a backpack nylon strap cut to fit with a buckle slapped on. It barely supports the watch and holds it in uncomfortable positions on your wrist.
Sure, they look cool sometimes, especially without those gay color stripes that people obsess over. But now whenever I see someone post their watch on a NATO/Zulu all I can think of is how nerdy of a gay that person is.
>and rubber straps
stopped reading there, what a brainlet take
Rubber straps are the most comfortable straps on earth. I’ve worn watches that cost more than you make in two months on their highly rated steel bracelets, I’ve worn the highest rated NATO bracelets on Watchuseek, I’ve carried pocket watches so beautiful you would weep. Without question a good rubber/resin strap like what Gshocks have make it so like you’re wearing air. I haven’t washed mine in 6 months and I just sniffed it. No odor whatsoever. There are no scratches or scuffs on it, meanwhile my steel bracelets look like swirl city after 3 months because I’m not a beta b***h who sits on /fashion/ all day. Oh and they’re as smooth as my girl’s tummy after a good moisturizing with my man juice.
wow bro your so cool
>all that cool life autobiography made to defend rubber straps
lmao
Tell me this is bait please, what a hecking reddit post
NATOilets absolutely seething
this poster had to state what a cool life he has going on for him, thus making his defense of rubber straps impervious to criticism, he’d be completely defenseless otherwise!
>I’ve carried pocket watches
Holy shit my sides, get a life please you actual gay
Thoughs on inverted display mod and hydro mod? I think they look cool, but supposedly the inverted display reduces readability and hydro mod can leak oil when pressing buttons.
Thinking of doing the clean face mod with inverted display and hydro mod, if such a thing is even possible. Really hope it gives a complete black dial with only the time standing out.
Pic related is clean face mod & inverted display without the hydro mod, hydro mod should increase the contrast of the display.
I wouldn’t recommend hydromodding a non solar powered watch but you do you
I get it, but it only adds a little extra work when replacing the battery which is fine I think. Solar would be a lot more convenient, especially Citizen Eco-Drive.
NATO straps are the ugliest shit ever if your watch "looks good" with a NATO strap it’s a SHITTER
Archie is always right (except when he sold all the rolexes to buy 5 identical patekas).
Looks like a b***h wearing that watch. Unironically he should get the tinny f91-w, forgot the ref, the one that Kristen Stewart wears.
Do movements “break in”? I swear my turtle is keeping good time now

Mine is super hecked up from being worn climbing, caving, snorkelling, etc. Scratched to hell and a leak when I dived too deep while wearing it hecked up the seconds display.
I feel like I could possibly fix the seconds display somehow, any advice?
Just polish it
Buy a new one and put the old one in a display case, once the next one is used up put it in the display case next to the previous one, etc.
what was the breaking point for the diving?
I think like 20ish metres, I had previously opened it to replace the battery admittedly so maybe I hadn’t quite sealed it as well as it could have been. Had taken it to <10m a ton and just didn’t think to take it off when going deeper.
Lmao touch grass I love my beat up watch and I’m set up, go project your own perceived failings onto someone else.
>advice
Go to Walmart and get another one. Just take the watch, no one will care. You clearly can’t afford a new one because of poor life choices.
Pisses me off that you kids can actually wear these. I’m built like hecking Shrek and have wrists like tree trunks. Can’t even get the strap hooked on the first hole without cutting off hecking circulation.
I’m basically a wristlet yet the notch I use is well into the latter half of the notches, ie. it would appear I have a big wrist from the notch it’s on. For many years I had little/no idea my wrists are quite small because of this evidence. I suspect they do this to compliment their customers, although it could also be something to do with their original Asian audience having small wrists. Think about it, you put on one strap you feel like you have big wrists, you put on another it makes you feel like they’re small – which are you going to choose? The downside is it will cut off people with super big wrists but I’m guessing your wrist size is very rare.
Rolex is the ONLY correct answer.
