I say all that matters is how you identify yourself. If you own 0 watches but like to study & research watches from afar & call yourself an enthusiast, fine by me.

I now find this line very interesting given the just announced release of the ultra-chron classic. For those who own the current in-production L836 based ultra-chron, what kind of accuracy are you getting in actual daily wear? Thanks.

Can Mr. Moderator and/or the other powers that be around here please clarify? There are now a few threads related to UFA around here.

So the UFA movement is thermo-compensated (based on my very limited understanding reading the GS website linked below) but GS makes no claims of accuracy within 10 sec per year, rather they advertise 20 sec per year.

Just wondering what do you all think about Citizen's decision here? Within the current line-up, only the 40mm models with crown guards have lume while none of the smaller ones do. I understand the aforementioned 40mm models are meant to be 'sportier' while the smaller ones are "dressier". But surely there would be demand for 37mm models made in a sportier style with lume (for folks with smaller wrists)? It seems like a missed opportunity.

So ETA has these 2 movements which I understand are basically the same except one has a date disc and one doesn't (see links below). And they both take the same battery. Am I correct to understand that everything else being equal, the no date disc version (F06.105) will have slightly longer battery life than the date disc version (F06.115)? Would it be realistic to think that if the 115 can last at least 5 years, the 105 would be able to last at least 6 years…

I used to think that a date/date window was an absolute necessity for any watch I wore. I distinctly remember looking at my watch for the date and thinking to myself how could I ever wear a watch that didn't tell me the date. That happened almost everyday. But now, I don't even remember the last time I had to look at my watch for the date. It's strange. I suppose my smartphone & laptop are now more than adequate in telling me the date.

Any forum member have a similar experience? Or how…
