cool new G-SHOCK release, a proper fitness tracking watch thingy!

The GBD-H1000 series

https://world.g-shock.com/asia-mea/en/products/g-squad/gbd-h1000/

Has an optical heartbeat sensor, GPS/GLONASS/QZSS, altitude, barometric pressure, and compass

Also, most interestingly, solar assisted charging! The timekeeping and notification features will keep running just on solar, the GPS and heart tracking needs more juice so topping up the battery with the charger is advised after using that

I'm beginning to think I may have to enlarge the doors on the hedgehog cafe

tag yourself I'm the goat

and in lower end of the market news, couple of woodland-y camo-y G-SHOCK caisoaks for those people who found their collab with the british army was a little tryhard

ooooohhhh pretty

New Tetra colourways from Nomos

Somewhat tenuously an homage to Ludwig Van Beethoven according to them

Very pretty though

If you've got a couple of quartz watches, do yourself a favour and pick up one of these cheap watch tool kits

They cost about 15 bucks, watch batteries are a couple bucks a pack, it's super easy to replace them, and to get it done by a jeweller costs 10 bucks

Change two watch batteries and it's paid for itself

Also includes all the stuff for sizing bracelets and changing straps, well worth it

someone got a Hamilton 992 railroad pocket watch and turned it into this

Not even slightly my style but they're quite nice

Someone's posted a good picture of the new Sinn 104 St Sa A B E

Really liking that aluminium bezel

I'd be a lot more interested in smartwatches if they were like this, the Seiko UC-2000

It was released in 1984 and was a digital watch with memo function that could be put in a dock to turn it into a reasonably well-featured microcomputer

Imagine being able to wear your PC on your wrist and just plop it into a dock when you wanted more functionality, that'd be cool

Interesting thing from MeisterSinger, the Astroscope

Really neat way of showing the day on it, best explained by monochrome here https://monochrome-watches.com/2020-meistersinger-astroscope-review-price/

YOU'RE NOT MY REAL LADDER!

New Sinn releases!

Two limited editions, the 104 St Sa A B E and the 158

104 St Sa A B E is a 104 with blue dial and bezel, arabic numerals, and ivory lume, limited to 1,000 pieces

The 158 is a lot more interesting though, heavily inspired by the old 155 Bw from the 80's, limited to 500 pieces

The Honda Motocompo was a brilliant idea and the concept should make a comeback

It was a little tiny bike that could fit in the also tiny Honda Today and Honda City Kei cars

I guess the theory was if you couldn't find anywhere to park your car you could park further away and get your bike out the back for the last part of the journey?

Dunno, but, hella cool

good hedgie having a scratch

HEDGEHOGS!
