i feel like the person with the actual highest IQ wouldn't even bother with an IQ test because of how fricking stupid and wrong they can be, not only that but anyone with a high IQ would understand how much of an inflated and insufferable ego they would have if they found out they were technically the smartest person on earth.
he did take a test and it was insane. 210 or something. Hes really based, he dropped out of college twice, fricked off to the midwest, and is a horse rancher
WTF LMAO
EMPs are the result of nuclear weapons and you think he'd be worried about his watch. Also, Most analogue face watches are still digital technologies
that was a very good watch, and cheap. but watches were necessary back then, what's the point now? everyone is carrying a watch in the pocket at all times, it can make phone calls and everything.
To act as padding between feet and shoes, which prevents abrasions and blisters. They also absorb sweat and prevent dust and other dirty particles from sticking to naked feet when you're not wearing shoes.
>people wear pocket watches >that's dumb, let's put them on our wrists to avoid taking them out every time and putting them back in >jump 100 years >lmao why do you need a wrist watch just take out your phone from your pocket to see the time
Society is regressing.
You're going to be carrying a phone anyways, wrist watches are not a replacement for them like they were for pocket watches. Only thing regressing is your IQ.
I didn't say wrist watches replace phones.
I'm saying it's beyond moronic to go back to pocket watches when we already have the superior wrist watches.
Now to be fair wrist watches were initially seen as for women and only started being used by men because it's more practical for war
so what we need is a big war that most of the men go fight in to make them switch back to watches
Every single dude in boot camp has either the casio f91w, or the gshock 5600. Men are also wearing watches way more now, even zoomers, because not only is it convenient as a tool but it's the most accepted male israeliteelry
Im not the biggest fan of the 5610, it sounds cool but I think the 5610 module doesn't show the time when you're running the timer/stopwatch which is a step back so I prefer the regular 5600. The batteries tend to last 5 years anyway and are easy to swap out so the whole solar charging doesn't mean too much to me. MB6 is really cool though.

i never really use the timer, and if I do, its usually for some cooking business that i dont really need the time for anyway. I would much rather have a bigger and less cluttered display than something like the frogman G-shocks, but to each their own.
Also can't speak on the solar's life span, but the 6 band really is a gem, I find myself constantly fixing the time on my car radio and oven and shit because I notice the qatch is a few minutes ahead. Both the features really are just peace-of-mind that the thing js always charged and accurate

I use it to time my breaks and lunch at work. Being able to see the time in the corner and the remaining time simultaneously is nice. I think the 5600 is really almost perfect. If the 5610 did this it would be the perfect watch.

LED is better than EL anyway.
The F91 is the greatest cheap watch you can buy.
15 bucks at your local WalMart for something that accurately reads the time, is comfortable to wear, and can take an absolute beating. The battery lasts a decade and the rubber strap will likely break first, which in that case, you toss it and buy a new one because they make millions.
I run several miles a week. and the stopwatch feature is more than enough to keep track without having to buy some overpriced fitbit tier junk. if you lift or do any kind of labor, the watch also serves its purpose. blue collared guys always wore cheap watches like this and timex. it's a true chad move born out of necessity
F91W is overrated and sucks. The watch isn't even cheap anymore its like 20 bucks. For that much you can get an F800 which is the same watch but bigger with a better light, or the AE1200 which has ten million features and looks better.
it's a superficial gadget with no purpose, made for mindless consumers and status chasers, woman-tier behavior. plus, I bet your floor has a watch hanging in the wall in a very visible place for all to check the time.

What country, and don't worry too much. When the world ends I'm sure you'll be able to get one. Some of the early models even had kickstarts, so they should make good post-apoc bikes.

Holy shit people are dumb never ever trust anything in your place of business the sockets are listening to you and the clocks are wrong.
Your strawman isn't even accurate. That laptop's survived being strapped to my gas tank for 3000kms across Canada, the watch is great and cost $10, and the flip phone came with the SIM card because I didn't have another phone at the time.
Got this right next to me on my nigh stand. I have other digital and analog ones in a case, but this is my daily. Used to use a Pebble smartwatch, but this is much simpler.
I only ever got the Knuckles one. Wish I had the Monkey Ball one.

Joke's on you. I had sex with a chubby chick from my uni anime club.
Also what is wrong with a night light so you don't stumble when getting up to take a piss?
not having to pull my phone out to check the time is actually incredibly convenient, especially when I'm at work where I might have my hands full, but am still able to just tilt my wrist up. Also on sunny days where there's too much screen glare to see without upping the brightness on my phone.
Yeah, and? I use the countdown timer way more than either of those. The AE1200 has it and it can keep track of other timezones too. It's the best value watch ever.

Watch literally saved my life, bros. Wish I could clean up the crystal a bit more, but probably about the best $25 I ever spent. Love it.
Again - it's practical if you're not a neet.
Obviously if you're staying in front of the computer all day and mummy calls you when it's time for dinner things like time are not important.
I'm not a fan of the solar GShock squares because on the old ones when you have the timer or stopwatch on, the time still shows in the top right corner but on the solar ones this is not the case.
Cartier tank is a huge fricking disappointment seriously. First off by "wristlet" you probably mean 6.5 unch wrist which is actually the wrist size of half the men on Earth, it's just that modern watches are grotesquely big so footballers can show them off, although the trend seems to be reversing very slowly. A 38mm watch will look great on you.
Second, the Cartier tank is one of the most underwhelming luxury watches I have ever seen. The design is supposedly timeless bit it actually just looks dull and plain, the crown looks stupid and sticks out too much, and unless you are shelling out for the mega big bucks model the israeliteel on the crown isn't a real israeliteel, it's literally some plastic shit you can buy at Hobby Lobby. JLC Reversos are much cooler.
It looks cooler, but unless you are looking at it at 2 specific angles it's harder to read, especially at a glance. Negative displays are only legible when backlit and most of the time yours won't be.
That's not boomercore. That is for rich old drug dealer. Two tone on the other hand is extremely 80s and the Datejust is the defining watch of the retired middle manager
There are a million watches that look like that, it's a field watch. The Hamilton Khaki is kind of lame because the appeal is it is really basic so it looks good with everything, but the problem is it looks really basic. Does not look nor feel like a $600 watch. You can probably find many clones on aliexpress for $100 or less.
Field watch was the search term I was missing thanks. Basic is fine, I just need something to wear once in a while that matches anything since I can’t wear one at work.

Lol I wear that exact watch. I used to wear fancy ones but eventually I realized no one's cares about watches except other "watch guys" so I went to something cheap and virtually indestructible. Seriously those watches will survive the apocalypse.
Watches are interesting because the watch a person wears is usually a good indicator of their tastes. It's a big wardrobe consideration during movies because men usually all wear similar clothes in drab colors soba watch is a good signature accessory that shows profession or personality. Like Leo's hilariously loose all gold Tag Heuer in Wolf of Wall Street, immediately gives you a sense this is a sleazy guy with expensive tastes, basically a punk. Or all the big GShocks worn by operators in military movie #6520
yeah its funny watching zoomzooms trashing watches solely from a utilitarian pov on a film board when they are such a big part of films. missing the whole point of what watches represent
Its the only accessory mean can wear. Belts/earrings/cufflinks/necklaces/rings arent something the average man wears.
Watches on the other hand can be useful for edc/work related stuff. They can be a status symbol, they can be a fashion statement, they can be a mix of the above.
I personally would only wear a Rolex, if Im trying to portray an image of myself, which would immediately make people understand that Im not some average Joe. For example if you walk into a snobby restaurant, when boarding business class in an airplane, when buying a car/boat etc.
Most people will never give a frick about your watch unless you are already famous. Saying "I'd only ever wear a Rolex because I want people to know I'm cool" is extremely pathetic. Stop.
You're just being moronic, anon. Only a fraction of a fraction of people care about watches beyond them looking cool. Most people will just see you have a watch and maybe thunk it looks cool. Most will not be able to tell its a Rolex. You are impressing almost no one. Half the people who see it will think it's fake anyway. You wear a watch for YOU, because you like it, not to impress others like some zoomer homosexual farming views on da 'gram.
No they wont, but if youre wearing a casio, odds are youre wearing inexpensive clothes and not the proper wardrobe. A 10k watch stands out and compliments a tailored suit.

It's much easier to glance at your wrist than to pull out your phone every time you want to check what time it is.
Also, it looks good.
To pay <$500 for something you wear pretty much every day isn't bad at all.
15 bucks at your local WalMart for something that accurately reads the time, is comfortable to wear, and can take an absolute beating. The battery lasts a decade and the rubber strap will likely break first, which in that case, you toss it and buy a new one because they make millions.
I run several miles a week. and the stopwatch feature is more than enough to keep track without having to buy some overpriced fitbit tier junk. if you lift or do any kind of labor, the watch also serves its purpose. blue collared guys always wore cheap watches like this and timex. it's a true chad move born out of necessity
yo riddle me this
why is it every time I see someone wear a watch on his dominant hand or inner wrist they turn out to be a total fricking douche once you get to know them? it's just a coincidence, right?
>why is it every time I see someone wear a watch on his dominant hand or inner wrist they turn out to be a total fricking douche once you get to know them?
You make a preconceived assumption and then look for things that confirm it.
I wear one of these, because it's far more convenient to glance at your wrist than take out a phone. It's also cooler than a gay phone. Doesn't surprise there's a lot of zoomer watchlets on Cinemaphile. Also not so much to check the time but if you take out your phone in public and staring at it you are cringe af, particularly while walking, stop doing that you fricking homosexuals.
My mum asked me yet if I think I'm superior to her because I wear a watch.
I think she must have seen some YouTube video or something that shaper her personality for that day. Such an odd question.
when i was taking the picture i was reminded of some hoodrat having a chimpout at the bar after work
we were all roasting him because he had multiple garbage gaudy watches on both arms
>had a cheap Casio on in Hong Kong >guy asks me if I did military service in Singapore >tell him no I just needed a nothing fancy watch >he says had one as a standard issue when he was conscripted >tell him that I, a 6'2 black man, am not Singaporean
Besides that strange interaction, we became good friends while I was there.
Watch is pretty awesome. Costs like $15, has an alarm a stop watch, doesn’t need to be wound up, tells time in regular and military, semi-waterproof. I use it all the time. It’s not like a smart watch with 5,000 features, just a few simple features. It also looks cool I’ve been complimented by many people for it. I use it because my job requires the use of a timer and it’s easier/faster to flick my wrist to view the timer than to take out my phone from my pocket. It’s also easier reset the timer with flick of the wrist + two clicks of a button then to pull out my phone from my pocket, type in my passcode, open the clock app, scroll to the timer, etc. old school tech is sometimes more stream lined. Watches like this are probably also good as timers in the gym when working out if you use timers that is

for comfort.
To act as padding between feet and shoes, which prevents abrasions and blisters. They also absorb sweat and prevent dust and other dirty particles from sticking to naked feet when you're not wearing shoes.

It's not consooming if it's practical, you idiot.
>wristwatch is practical in 2022
'no'
Again - it's practical if you're not a neet.
Obviously if you're staying in front of the computer all day and mummy calls you when it's time for dinner things like time are not important.

i really want a cartier tank. it doesn't even look that good but i'm a wristlet and it seems to be made for wristlets
Same. Id love to wear a "status watch" like a seasmaster or a divemaster, but theyre 44mm of "LOOK AT MY WATCH THE SIZE OF A BASEBALL".
I use the proto Gshock watch since it fits my wrist perfectly. I want to buy the titanium version, but its expensive.
Get a 5610 and buy a titanium case on Aliexpress. They have one that looks like that.
Yeah I own/daily use the 5610.
>buy a titanium case on Aliexpress. They have one that looks like that.
Huh. Ill look into that thanks!
I'm not a fan of the solar GShock squares because on the old ones when you have the timer or stopwatch on, the time still shows in the top right corner but on the solar ones this is not the case.
Forgot pic
How’s visibility of this one? Love the look but heard they don’t read well
Love my red metal square. Been wearing it every day for months.
What kind of baby wrists do you have where 44mm is large on you?
Cartier tank is a huge fricking disappointment seriously. First off by "wristlet" you probably mean 6.5 unch wrist which is actually the wrist size of half the men on Earth, it's just that modern watches are grotesquely big so footballers can show them off, although the trend seems to be reversing very slowly. A 38mm watch will look great on you.
Second, the Cartier tank is one of the most underwhelming luxury watches I have ever seen. The design is supposedly timeless bit it actually just looks dull and plain, the crown looks stupid and sticks out too much, and unless you are shelling out for the mega big bucks model the israeliteel on the crown isn't a real israeliteel, it's literally some plastic shit you can buy at Hobby Lobby. JLC Reversos are much cooler.
the reverso is a much superior watch but also much more expensive
My custom World Time.
nowadays you only show a guy wear a watch to subtly indicate he's a homosexual, or at least mildly european
I'm thinking of getting the Alien one.
Don't get a negative display. Trust me.
Why?
It looks cooler, but unless you are looking at it at 2 specific angles it's harder to read, especially at a glance. Negative displays are only legible when backlit and most of the time yours won't be.
It's the only one available for this color, sadly.
>got a vostok before rasha shit the pants
very nice
Nah, it's a black scuba dude. I didn't want any Soviet commie stars and shit.
also berry nice
nice guys, got the tank Komandirskie myself
very thankful I got it before the Special Military Operation

what do you think of mine lads? r8 don't h8
looks good man
rest easy
looking fit!
Not bad dude. Mine has made me quite popular with the ladies.
It's probably because your finger resembles a penis
for me, its the rolex datejust two-tone yellow-gold champagne colored diamond-set dial
That watch is 80s boomer sleazecore
That's not boomercore. That is for rich old drug dealer. Two tone on the other hand is extremely 80s and the Datejust is the defining watch of the retired middle manager
I have absolutely no sense of style but Dr House wouldn’t steer me wrong. Anyone know where I can pick up a Chinese knockoff?
i'm sure google is your friend
try China
they are called field watches. you can get many for under $200
Field watch was the search term I was missing thanks. Basic is fine, I just need something to wear once in a while that matches anything since I can’t wear one at work.
There are a million watches that look like that, it's a field watch. The Hamilton Khaki is kind of lame because the appeal is it is really basic so it looks good with everything, but the problem is it looks really basic. Does not look nor feel like a $600 watch. You can probably find many clones on aliexpress for $100 or less.
It's not a $600 watch, and it is probably my favorite every day watch. Classy, but rugged.
>we need to show our audience that this character is an absolute chad with a huge fricking dick and makes women in a ten mile radius wet as frick
That actually looks sick how much do they go for
whats the specific model of the one on the right?
Lol I wear that exact watch. I used to wear fancy ones but eventually I realized no one's cares about watches except other "watch guys" so I went to something cheap and virtually indestructible. Seriously those watches will survive the apocalypse.
Watches are interesting because the watch a person wears is usually a good indicator of their tastes. It's a big wardrobe consideration during movies because men usually all wear similar clothes in drab colors soba watch is a good signature accessory that shows profession or personality. Like Leo's hilariously loose all gold Tag Heuer in Wolf of Wall Street, immediately gives you a sense this is a sleazy guy with expensive tastes, basically a punk. Or all the big GShocks worn by operators in military movie #6520
yeah its funny watching zoomzooms trashing watches solely from a utilitarian pov on a film board when they are such a big part of films. missing the whole point of what watches represent
Its the only accessory mean can wear. Belts/earrings/cufflinks/necklaces/rings arent something the average man wears.
Watches on the other hand can be useful for edc/work related stuff. They can be a status symbol, they can be a fashion statement, they can be a mix of the above.
I personally would only wear a Rolex, if Im trying to portray an image of myself, which would immediately make people understand that Im not some average Joe. For example if you walk into a snobby restaurant, when boarding business class in an airplane, when buying a car/boat etc.
Most people will never give a frick about your watch unless you are already famous. Saying "I'd only ever wear a Rolex because I want people to know I'm cool" is extremely pathetic. Stop.
you sound poor and gay
You're just being moronic, anon. Only a fraction of a fraction of people care about watches beyond them looking cool. Most people will just see you have a watch and maybe thunk it looks cool. Most will not be able to tell its a Rolex. You are impressing almost no one. Half the people who see it will think it's fake anyway. You wear a watch for YOU, because you like it, not to impress others like some zoomer homosexual farming views on da 'gram.
Not to mention it’d get stolen in an instant
Thanks for correlating poverty and poor reading comprehension.
If you go into fancy restaurant with a casio they gonna throw you out.
Just tell them you're Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago, and your Patek is being cleaned.
No they wont, but if youre wearing a casio, odds are youre wearing inexpensive clothes and not the proper wardrobe. A 10k watch stands out and compliments a tailored suit.
>compliments
uh huh
>tell me you're poor without telling me you're poor
Or you can get this 1000$ beauty and have it look classier than any Rolex 10 times its price.
Kitchen appliance aesthetic.
You don’t need a dumb watch just look at where the sun is and figure it out, it’s literally in the same spot at the same time every day.
I had a motorcycle and then I was in a crash and injured both knees. That was half a year ago and my knees are still wonky. I might have to give up and get a >scooter

v nice
just got hired at a private club as a server & since i'm not bartending i've decided to wear my orient mako
i'll miss my gshock that's for sure
>muh phones are better
It's much easier to glance at your wrist than to pull out your phone every time you want to check what time it is.
Also, it looks good.
To pay <$500 for something you wear pretty much every day isn't bad at all.
Isn't that the terrorist watch? How is it still okey to own one?
first time caring about a watch, what do you guys think about the saddam hussein watch?
That's my airports and government buildings watch

>makes you meme terrorist watch instantly obsolete
nothing personnel kiddos
The F91 is the greatest cheap watch you can buy.
15 bucks at your local WalMart for something that accurately reads the time, is comfortable to wear, and can take an absolute beating. The battery lasts a decade and the rubber strap will likely break first, which in that case, you toss it and buy a new one because they make millions.
I run several miles a week. and the stopwatch feature is more than enough to keep track without having to buy some overpriced fitbit tier junk. if you lift or do any kind of labor, the watch also serves its purpose. blue collared guys always wore cheap watches like this and timex. it's a true chad move born out of necessity
>"get the f91 bro its a classic, just watch out for the strap breaking"
>"no that's not what I meant!"
Why do us NATOchads cause so much butthurt?
Casio, but better.
I wear my watch on my inner wrist.
damn man you're such a unique individual
I am.
Its the superior way to wear it.
yo riddle me this
why is it every time I see someone wear a watch on his dominant hand or inner wrist they turn out to be a total fricking douche once you get to know them? it's just a coincidence, right?
It's probably you.
>why is it every time I see someone wear a watch on his dominant hand or inner wrist they turn out to be a total fricking douche once you get to know them?
You make a preconceived assumption and then look for things that confirm it.
I wear one of these, because it's far more convenient to glance at your wrist than take out a phone. It's also cooler than a gay phone. Doesn't surprise there's a lot of zoomer watchlets on Cinemaphile. Also not so much to check the time but if you take out your phone in public and staring at it you are cringe af, particularly while walking, stop doing that you fricking homosexuals.
These look cool but I can't wear them because the metal straps constantly get caught in my arm hairs. Ouchie!
My mum asked me yet if I think I'm superior to her because I wear a watch.
I think she must have seen some YouTube video or something that shaper her personality for that day. Such an odd question.
>My mum asked me yet
Huh?
Can you guys smarten up a little

no

that looks like a wall clock at some shitty cubicle office
better than looking like you got your watch out of a gumball machine

Shit this was my jam until the strap broke. I have moved on to the the F91W

2/2 muh Vostok with a protection cage. It's a little too big for my wrist, but I wear it sometimes (with or without the cover) because it's cool.

Are you whining about not being an alcoholic?

Did he suck you off good?
Look at that patina
mmmm... fossilized T rex urine, I take it? expensive.
anon... you can't call skin cancer "patina" to make it sound cool
Watch is pretty awesome. Costs like $15, has an alarm a stop watch, doesn’t need to be wound up, tells time in regular and military, semi-waterproof. I use it all the time. It’s not like a smart watch with 5,000 features, just a few simple features. It also looks cool I’ve been complimented by many people for it. I use it because my job requires the use of a timer and it’s easier/faster to flick my wrist to view the timer than to take out my phone from my pocket. It’s also easier reset the timer with flick of the wrist + two clicks of a button then to pull out my phone from my pocket, type in my passcode, open the clock app, scroll to the timer, etc. old school tech is sometimes more stream lined. Watches like this are probably also good as timers in the gym when working out if you use timers that is
Being honest, does anyone here own "homage"/legal knock off type watches?
They're basically all I have.
>knock offs
No way, gay. Not gonna have someone roll up on me saying my Jordan's look fake.
watch threads are always a good time thanks Cinemaphile
