Watches

Got a promotion at work and celebrated by selling one of my older watches and getting this new Seamaster:

Very nice and congrats.
Is it steel or titanium, the finishing on the bezel is very interesting.
Also the different colour indices at 2 & 8, do they signify anything? Edit just noticed the other colours too - presumably an Olympics model!

Thank you!

Bezel is grace 2 titanium. The contrast of the blue dial, titanium bezel and blue strap drew me in. It also came with a stainless bracelet and I got them to throw in a white nato. It’s like 3 watches in 1. :)

I’ve never been a fan of watches. I’ve always found them uncomfortable and a bit unnecessary to wear an expensive one because of my line of work. I must admit though, a good watch catches my eye.

I was looking for a basic watch/stop watch for convenience and in the gym, but one thing led to another and now I’ve got an Apple Watch Series 8 and I love it. Was very unsure of which strap to go for, so I've gone for a fabric one with velcro so its infintely adjustable. I'll probably upgrade to a milanese one in future.

Not a watch, it’s a wrist phone!

I’d suggest / recommend the silicone bands (apple or 3rd party) esp for the gym. Super comfortable, no messing with buckles / Velcro / magnetic closures and don’t need washing when they get sweaty!

I spent ages trawling through Amazon ect. but my wrists are quite big (hess) and it seemed none of the ones I wanted would fit me. I initially wanted the Nike Sport Band with all the holes in, but couldn't find the colour I wanted.

This Nike Sport Loop was £30 on eBay and is very comfortable, but like you say it will get sweaty. I'll probably get the silicone band for gym and use the velcro one for work.
 
Just saw a watch I really fancy - a Timex Command:

I own a couple of Timex already, they're cheap and reliable, but a bit of fun. I guess it's another G-Shock rip off from them; one of my other Timex is called an A-Game and is an unashamed copy. Might splurge on one of these.
