In my current collection, my W-217s and F-91 consistently have the loudest chime and alarm. Most are kinda meh, G-Shocks are just pathetic in the sound department. Any other models to suggest?

Hello guys,
My nephew is turning 18 soon, and he likes hiking, so I thought that an ABC watch would be a great gift for him.

Solar power and radio control is a must, so I found PRW-3400Y-2JF on Sakura (I don’t have any experience with that store, but it seems to have some good feedback in this forum). And I think it’d be pretty cool to have a JDM model.
However, I’ve also found PRW3500 on…

Mini ABL-100 Review
Here are my thoughts on the Casio ABL-100 after a few days use.
Continue readingI’ve had the watch for 4 days now and worn it about 10-12 hours each day.
The watch is a touch larger than an F91/A168/A159 etc and all the better for it. It has a nice metal bracelet reminiscent of the older 1980s Casio style. I’ve found it comfortable to wear.
The case is Ion plated chrome over resin and the biggest let down of the watch. I would have preferred to pay a little more for an all Stainless Steel case. Casio…

I got into digital watches after getting tired of my Apple watch, and starting doing D&D and electronics during the pandemic. These are prototypes that came out of that: A digital watch that rolls virtual dice for tabletop roleplaying games.
The one on the left stays plugged in for programming, and the one on the right is for daily wear and abuse. I’d love to hear what folks here think about them!
Need help repairing Casio J-31W
Hi everyone. Trying to restore this old J-31W and need an advice: there’s a tiny golden spring that fell out while I was taking it apart, I believe it’s a button power spring, but I can’t figure out where it goes. (it’s not the beeper spring, that one is intact).

Looking for a natural font digital watch
Hi friends.
Continue readingI want to find a digital watch with matrix instead of segment screen display.
I did searched a lot but none of them are perfectly for my need.
Must be real matrix display, not those dot-shaped segment ones.
Must be always on display, so no OLED.
MIP is best, but I can tolerate normal LCD.
It should not be a smartwatch, because I want battery life of more than a year, and I hate those phone connection features.
There’s a Seiko one almost perfect, but it cannot show seconds…

Please identify movie Armitron
Hello everyone.
Yesterday I was watching the 2011 movie “S.W.A.T.: Firefight”.
The protagonist “Paul Cutler” is played by actor Gabriel Macht , who is mostly known for playing Harvey Specter in the series “Suits”.
Anyway, in this movie he is wearing the Armitron in the picture.
I tried finding out more about it, but couldn’t find the exact model. Maybe you can?
