Have any thoughts on these Kinetics watches? I own two, and they seem fine but is it really worth keeping them running? I know they are intended to be for a one watch person, but a guy like me doesn’t need to wear it everyday.
This one does…
Great packaging, so excited!
And look, they threw in a crazy cool keychain lanyard!
All wrapped up in sticky…
Still, that’s what I’m doing today. Cleaning, changing batteries, polishing stuff up. They need attention too, right?
This last Timex expedition is nice, has a metal case, but the black is wearing off and I’d like some suggestions as to what I can use to darken it up.

Then this came out recently and I was intrigued. Mainly for the color and the 3-6-9-1Z markers. I came very close to owning…
I finally get the chance to see how they feel, and I hope they are worth it. I found a set of brass curved tweezers from Italy.
