My first Casio

Bet you must be thinking it's a G Shock but I'm not so interested in those bulky plastic watch. It's a hunting watch, with moon phase, thermometer, world time and hunting indicator. Doubt I'll ever use that hunting indicator function cause I don't hunt or fish. Apparently, that HUNT signal will prompt you to hunt cause that is the ideal time when animal will come out to look for food. Not sure how accurate that HUNT indicator is. Then there is this thermometer which is hardly accurate cause the reading will be affected by your body temperature. To get an accurate room reading, you will need to take off the watch, leave it on the table etc. and wait for awhile. The glass isn't scratch proof but the whole casing is stainless steel. The blue backlit illuminator is quite useful. Often wear it at sleep now and can easily look at the time in my dark bedroom. But not sure if the illuminator will drain up the battery quickly.

I actually bought it at RM200 as used watch from my dad cause he has too many watches and this is probably one that is least worn by him.

Dimension:
Diameter - 43mm
Lug to lug - 49mm
Lug width - 22mm
Thickness - 13mm

My first Seiko chronograph quartz

My wife bought me another Seiko for my birthday recently, this time a quartz movement with chronograph dial face design. It uses a 7T92 quartz engine and comes with sapphire glass crystal but no see through back casing. Water resistant good for 10 bar or 100m. Cost around RM800. Have not really explore the buttons and tachymeter function. Not likely to be useful to me. Understand that this a 130th Seiko anniversary watch based on the newspaper advertisement which also feature Huang Li Hom.
