My first serious watch was a Casio Oceanus titanium S-100. Really an amazing watch for the money. I eventually ended up selling it, but those watches are hard to beat for the money if you don’t mind a quartz.
It’s a beautiful design! I love quartz watches but I have to admit that there’s something about mechanical movements. Just knowing that it’s a bunch of tiny springs and gears instead of electronics is really cool despite the drawbacks.
Yeah I agree. Honestly I never thought this way when I first got in to watches.
I wouldn’t call myself a watch snob by any means, but I now understand how people become one.
The more you immerse yourself in the world of watches, YouTube reviews, etc, it seems like the less able you are to appreciate a quartz movement, which is objectively better in many ways.
I noticed that I also appreciate heritage a lot more now, and don’t like mods or homages nearly as much as I used to, although I still have a few that I’ve built myself.
