Jump Hour Watches

[The Ken]

I have a titanium tissot touch and l love it - gadgety & very light for the size (I have weak wrists ) but I can't really recommend it as some of the buttons have fallen off - this seems to be a common problem with them and it is return to tissot just to get a price for the repair.

is it a jump hour?

 

[The Ken]

Sorry what does that mean? It tells the time - in 2 places if wanted, has a stopwatch, barometer, altimeter, compass, thermometer and an alarm.

It has a digital and analog display if that helps.

Older model of this...

i quite like that but would take me bloody ages to tell the time

jump hour watch has dials instead of hands

 

[The Ken]

I understand now - that is nice, you can set mine to display the time in the digital section too, but it isn't as stylish as that one.

yeah something a bit different
wanted a cheap one as i may not even wear it
here is the one i wanted but it had a bad review and for something i may not even wear, 100$ is a bit much (coupled with the reveiw)
although thats at the cheap end of the scale
dont want to pay £13000 really

:shock: :shock:

Do you mean, specifically, this model?

Found a review from an owner, but his initial enthusiasm is soon lost:

TBH, £100 sounds overpriced to me. Then again, I know nothing about watches, or their 'worth' as I own a Tag

yeah my link broke the message

yeah £100 is a bit much for a watch for me really as i said, im not a massive watch enthusiast

I love watches but I only got mine as it was an insurance replacement and the wife had bought all the jewellery she wanted and there was money left over :shock:

At one time a watch was the only jewellery I would wear, and that only because it has a useful function, but after many different types of watch, I find I can only deal with a watch that has hands, the mere position of the hands is enough for me, as time keeping is not my strong point.

But I am on my second Seiko Sports 100, ( first one got smashed when I fell off my bike ), my current one being a Kinetic. May at some point seek out a Seiko Auto Divers.
