    Priced lower than Seiko 5, hybrid solar movement. I recharge by strapping to the blinds in my east facing room and allowing the sun to shine upon it for 6 hours every third week or so. It constantly recharges from my light and I like minimalist pilot watch aesthetic. .

    Nice. What is the case size on this one? There is a titanium UK release of the Promaster Tough that I wanted for a while. It has the same vibes.

    The bracelet is so well executed. How do you like it? What is the width of that?

    The bracelet is just a generic Geckota mesh strap.

    The watch came with a leather racing style strap (good quality) but I like the convenience of a mesh strap.

    I had been a watch wearer for most of my life until I started carrying a phone around with me all the time at which point the watch seemed redundant. I have a few nicer watches, a few from my grandfather, and a Citizen that was a wedding gift. I really don't like metal watch bands of any type so I almost never wear those. I've also had a bunch of cheaper watches over the year, most of which served their purpose and then were unceremoniously disposed of when they eventually died. I have a few that survived that were in the back of a drawer. I got a wild hair a few months ago and decided to replace the batteries and bands. The two I fixed were a Timex Expedition and a Timex Ironman Triathalon. I found a really great canvas strap for the Expedition, probably nicer than the watch itself and a silicone one for the Ironman. I couldn't find the original specialty strap that the Ironman came with but I really like the one I ended up buying. I pretty much always wear it because I use the timer and multiple alarms daily. It's become a trusted companion after having been forgotten for a decade.

    Wore this guy today.... Honestly, at 48mm, it is a bit large and heavy for me.
