Hmmm.... Looks like I might have to buy my own present, AGAIN!
Meanwhile, and wondering why we don't see more GPS corrected watches, this:
A bargain from Cash Converters, if you ignore the hours of my life lost to the 1000 page instruction manual, to figure out how a GPS watch could be 5 days out!
Anyway, thus re-calibrated, Voila!
Hope the sun comes out.
It does two types of GPS correction, a time only, that literally takes 2 seconds, or a location and time, that takes a bit longer (for the triangulation, presumably).
Happy Father's Day to all you dads! :king: Hope you've been dusting up on your French phrases @Roger the Dodger to impress me with your Del chat! Bonjour!

Casio Edifice EFV-100D-2AVUEF; a 40mm, sub-ÂŁ100 quartz with 100m water resistance, screw down crown, Japanese movement, mineral crystal and a stainless steel case that very closely resembles the Seiko SARB. There's also a 36mm version if 40mm is too big.
It's one of my throw on watches. No need to set the time. It has a simple, clean, sporty look that goes with pretty much anything. That blue dial has an electric blue sunburst that's only really noticeable in direct sunlight. The orange second hand is a nice touch, a little pop of colour. The lume is alright, better than it should be for the price.
The bracelet looks decent and it's comfortable. It's folded links, but the only giveaway is the weight. The screw down crown isn't smooth.
But... this watch is ÂŁ52 (!!!) on Amazon just now and it punches well above it's weight.
My girls are amazing in that they see my head buried in this watch thing but still pay attention to the stuff that catches my eye, even if for a short while, a while ago.
Swatch released this watch in celebration of the Chinese New year over 6 months ago and I remarked how I liked it.
This was waiting for me this morning!
Swatch Ox Rocks 2021!
I forget how fun these are to wear, being so light.
Package arrived from CNS (Sweden) so trying my Orient on a black rubber strap today - Also bought a tan leather & black leather (see below) - Happy Father's Day :toot:
