MrsBugmaster Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 These look awesome. We just pre-ordered 2 of these, one for myself and one for my husband. Our birthday gifts for each other. They don't ship till April or May though. http://getpebble.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin1300 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 That's a cool concept and is long overdue. I was going to question battery life but seems they answered that, and would assume it's just rechargable via USB. My question would be...Is the battery replaceable or is it going to be fried and then a pain to replace (Apple products are like that)? I'm really abusive with watches and one smack of the face might worry me? Until I started buying seiko watches I think I'd buy a new watch every 6 months so you'll have to share your feedback once you get them. I love kickstarter, could look on there for hours at GREAT ideas that could have not been possible before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatO Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm very hard on watches too. Broken numerous watches. Even got the "super strong" sapphire crystal, and already have some nicks and scratches in it. I've also broken a few "indestructible" tungeston rings as well. Lol. I guess my technician hands have a rough life. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msr224 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I am a watch hound. Just got back from Kohl's looking at the citizen Eco-drives. Couldn't decide and still have some Christmas money left. I really like the concept, design not my style (I'm more into big face and heavy bracelet) but over all VERY cool. Actually considering it.

I love my Eco drives... I have a stainless and a titanium and love them both!! The stainless has the perpetual calender feature and it is nice to not have to reset the date every month.

MrsBugmaster Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I read they are developing an app for it to locate your phone if you lose it or it will beep at you if you get so far away from your phone so you don't leave it somewhere. No more lost cell phones. BTW, I've had the same watch for the past 10 yrs. I think it is time for a new one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the watch I came from. Loved it, but trashed it pretty good. Luckily, even with 2 large cracks across the face it never leaked water in.

jrcsh6 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Apple is rumored to be working on a watch to interface with the iphone. I'm a watch collector too. What have you fellow collectors got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msr224 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I've got a couple of Sieko Kinetic Titaniums- both awaiting repair Several citizens quartz Lot's of just plain misc. stuff Even have a fake Rolex in there somewhere. It's an automatic and it ran really well for the first couple of years. Too many fossils to mention including a couple of their automatics. I really want an Omega seamaster.

Msr224 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 This is my Titanium Kinetic. Need to send it out and have the Li-On capacitor put in and have it gone through. As stated I have 2 of these. I love the watch. It's feather weight and tough but has been through the mill.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msr224 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I found the Hublot collection the other day. I heard of them a while back but forgot all about them until I read an article about them. I think this one is right around a mil.....

MrsBugmaster Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Wow, maybe we should wait for the Apple watches to come out, no,maybe collect them both, haha Those are some pretty nice watches you guys posted! I never knew there we so may watch "collectors" here. I like how a simple thread turns into something so much more. My husband has a couple nice watches but he doesn't collect them. He "collects" single malt scotches, but they are drank more than they are "collected" lol But the is a whole nother thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a problem that I keep a bottle of scotch on my desk at work at all times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
