A few months with the Cogito watch

I've had the Cogito Classic watch for about a month. There are definitely some things I like and dislike. The net of it is that I wouldn't buy it again. Actually I just sold mine on Ebay.com and bought a Pebble Time. I've been much happier with that buy.

  • Analog clock
  • The color
  • It's water resistant



Don't like

  • App is flaky
  • Form factor- it's large and clunky
  • battery life - there are no warnings it just stops.

Another watch that's caught my eye

I think I'd found my next watch.

I really like the shape and the coloration of watch. The dial is simple and the logo is different (not Rolex or Omega). For all this, you also get a Swiss-made watch.

Latest add to the watch collection- 70's Hamilton 10k gold


Here's the latest add the watch collection. It's a 70s period Hamilton 10k gold watch with a black leather strap. At this point in Hamilton's history, they've moved from using American made movements to Swiss made movements. I got it for $100 and I'm pleased with my first automatic movement watch. The crystal is a bit scratched and the case has a nick in it. The watch runs for about 10 hours, so it needs some maintenance.

Omega Seamaster circa 60s/70s

This is my dream watch ever since I saw it on Park and Bond because of the shape of the bezel and the color of the dial. Oh yea and it's an Omega.

What's caught my eye.....

Lollipop Watch 3 White white, jewelry, watches


The white dial/white hands/white  leather band on silver has a really clean look. Even the numbers on the dial are white! Also it's a chronograph without color so the look works.
