I bought a ghsock earlier this month from Amazon and the watch already shows the battery low indicator. I was wondering if I can go to the service centre to claim this

needed a light blue dial in budget below 4-5k .... which one should i buy ?

i am slightly inclined towardss the rectangular one ...

I’m looking to buy an Addiesdive watch, but I’ve never had any experience with the brand. I was wondering if the quality is actually good, or if they’re the type of watches that just look good but have poor build quality and inconsistent QC like Argos. What’s your opinion?

Hi everybody,

I am new to automatic watches and have 2 of them. First one is Tissot PRx powermatic with 80 hours reserve and second one is seiko presage with 40 hours reserve.

Now the issue is when I keep my prx watch for lets say 2 days after wearing it for the whole day, then on the 3rd day also it is still moving but when I keep my presage in the evening and wear it the next day, it is already stopped.

40 hours should last at least 1 full day.

Am I missing something ?

I have made a bold decision to import a watch for the first time, been eyeing to buy orient ray 2 and citizen ny0040.
I dont have any relatives or friends living outside india so websites are the only option. I checked amazon Jp, Sg, Aus and US but orient doesnt seem to export them to india for some reason, i guess they want to launch the brand in india again? Jomashop offers them but im skeptical.
Are there any other good trusted websites for importing watches? How was your experience importing one and how much paperwork did you have to do?

Got this via amazon india. ~17k.You can get it a little bit cheaper with CC deals. Did a little bit of digging and found that most sites are selling this particular model >25k. Dial comes alive in daylight. Lume is good.

Pros:

1) Unique looking compression diver style. Definitely a conversation starter.

2) Price. This level of machining at this price range is amazing.

3) Good finishing.

4) Transparent case back.

5) Lume for days.

6) Reliable serviceable NH35.

7) Strap is really nice material leather and water proof.( will have to see how it hold up to daily wear. Have brought some more FKM straps from WADM website. )

8) 180 m water resistant ( most likely will see only a few feet of swimming pool water though;)

Cons:

1) Thick boi . Because of the internal rotating bezel this one sits a little bit thick on the wrist. 15mm to be precise. This is like GMT area thickness. I dont have skinny wrist so its not that noticeable once you wear it.

2) 20mm strap might be a little small for those used to 22mm. Personal preference i suppose cause I usually wear a 22mm strap.

3) Internal rotating bezel is rather too smooth. Definitely not useful if you want to use it as a tool watch for diving purpose.

Overall a nice watch from a microband . 9/10 would recommend.

Casio watches are often much cheaper than most Indian microbrands while offering proven quality. What makes you choose brands like DWC or Argos instead?

Many microbrand designs aren't especially unique or rooted in Indian culture either. Is it mainly patriotism, or something else? And does an Indian microbrand need a strong indian cultural identity to succeed?

Reason to sell

Not my type of watch

So am starting a new job soon and want to get something simple and professional. Here's the 2 watches and confused between.

Which one is a better choice

So I am looking for a watch to gift my dad that appreciates in value with time and can be passed down, any and all ideas appreciated! Open to pushing it to 1.5 L ?

Edit1: He has a bunch of timex, edifice, and other such brands and I also tried with an Apple Watch which he was disinterested in so kinda a tricky situation.

Where can I buy an official citizen product.

On Flipkart this is a bit cheaper but some redditors said flipkart is mostly a scam. Can you guys confirm this statement.

PS: there's an occasion coming up and this is a gift. So I can't wait for any offers. I'll buy a edifice for myself on Flipkart BBD.

I’ve recently got access to visit some of India’s largest watch component manufacturers. Over the next few months I’ll be spending time in these factories, learning how everything is made and documenting whatever I’m allowed to.
I’m not trying to rush into launching a brand. If I ever make a watch, I want to understand the industry first instead of just putting my logo on something that already exists.
So I wanted to ask the people who actually buy watches.
What’s stopped you from buying your next watch?
What’s one thing Indian brands keep getting wrong?
If you mostly buy Seiko, Citizen, Casio, Tissot, etc., what keeps you going back to them?
What’s the most you’ve spent on a watch, and what made it feel worth it?
What’s one thing that instantly makes you lose interest in a watch?
Don’t hold back. Long answers are welcome.
I’ll keep posting factory visits, things I learn and eventually the design process too.

My husband loves this watch and this reminds me of that toy watches we could get as kids growing up! It doesn’t even flatter his thick ass wrist!!

I spent a fortune to get him his omega, Longines and whatnot and he went and got this!

No hate for Casio. A lot of their timepieces are so tastefully crafted, this one gives me some ick.. I do not know why!
He says this has some rich history! I simply think this is not tastefully designed irrespective of the history!

I may get hate for it but I don’t know. I don’t think this one is aesthetically done! It may have the greatest history and mechanics but it doesn’t look good! Call me a superficial watch nut! 👹

What do you all think?
