Does anyone here have a shinola watch? I'm curious how people like them.

I've handled one, well overpriced in my opinion, really trying to capitalize on the "semi-made/assembled by Detroit hipsters" marketing strategy.

So it's a farce that some dude hand made the watch?

The GF got me one that's actually posted somewhere in this thread. I like it so far. It keeps time well, and always gets compliments. It's a good in between watch for me.

ETA: it's on the first page, not the exact same model pictured, mine has more metal stuff going on with the leather band. But the watch face is the same.

Can you tell the difference between it and sh*t?

Dammit. I see the joke was already made on page 1. Nevermind.

Someone assembles the watch in Detroit. It isn't really "made" there though:

That guy devoted way too many words to explain that manufacturing companies are not always transparent about the origins of their products in their marketing.

Thinking about picking up one of these:

Timex x Red Wing Waterbury 40mm

Edit: Terrible picture on my part.

New pickup that's even better looking in person than I imagined it could be

Enjoyed this thread.

Some cool ideas for my next watch purchase.

Been thinking about getting one. Pros/cons?

Breitling still on the left and now a Fitbit on the right. But who needs pics of a Fitbit????

Dude, talk me out of getting that Breitling Unitime at the duty free shop in the Caribbean

Is it cooler and better looking than mine?

Keeps you from looking at your phone as much. Texting replies are easy. Haven't talked on a phone call on it but it does that. Makes reading texts and emails during emails much easier and no one knows You did it.

If you do the fitness stuff it tracks it all including heart rate.

I'm a geek so I just wanted it. I love it. If you have $500+ you won't miss I think you will like it. Get apple care on it and get a charging stand. Nightstand mode is awesome and totally replaces an alarm clock.

Yes

Thanks

Yeah you don't need that in your life... Probably doesn't even keep good time and will clash with your Wall Street persona.
Solid NO DON'T DO IT!!!!

I used to own one of these...

Rope burns from being tied to the bed last night

Men's wrist POV is gross

But does it tell the time in Gstaad?

My watch tells all times. And it texts. Your GF could send you nudies right on your watch.

That's my trusty beater.

It does indeed...as long as you know the correct city on the dial

Nice watch
