I watched the entire video waiting for the vape stuff :-D. It's interesting though and thanks for sharing this. I've posted it in the Giveaway and Participation thread. Love your pun "have a watch" @Clouds4Days!

Thank you @Hooked .
Hahaha sorry for the disappointment but I promise my next video will be a vape related one :)

At the moment I'm alternating between vape and watch reviews so one week a watch review then the following a vape review. But I hope to have many more various reviews in the future, or even do two weekly videos of both watches and vaping.

I know I should probably keep the two on separate channels. But I have a goal in mind and it's to introduce people to new hobbies and maybe even convert some smoking watch enthusiasts into vapers and some vapers into watch enthusiasts.

And even if not intrested they can always skip the video.

Have a awesome day

@Clouds4Days I have a feeling I'm misunderstanding something. I thought that you called it a "watch review" because it was about watches, but I don't think that's the case if you're going to post "watch reviews" once or twice a week. I hardly think that many people are interested in watches or see them as a potentially new hobby!

So .... what are "watch reviews" ?
 
Thanks for sharing the video @Clouds4Days
Those Casio watches were great in the day, I had a similar one
In fact I have another cheaper one with a rubber strap that I don’t wear but it sits near my pitstop station so I can see the time while I’m pitstopping my vape gear (I don’t like touching my cell phone if I can help it when I have juice nearby and on my fingers)

That is correct I will be doing watch reviews as in "actual watches, the ones that tell time" every 2nd week.

The sad thing is the South African watch community is almost non existent and I base it mainly on two things.
1- the economy (it gets expensive real quick once the bug bites)
2- prices on watches locally is ridiculous, if you dont import you will pay double or even triple sometimes .

There are some great Watch reviewers out there (Internationally) with some good followings.
2 of my favourite-
Jody (just one more watch)

The Casio F91W is a really neat little watch, I never owned one before this and sad that i didnt .

It's so light and comfortable you almost forget you wearing it.
It's the cheapest watch I have ever bought but so far it's one of my favorites.

Cellphones have taken over but I watch is much more reliable. A phone can easily fall and get damaged or battery run flat while you out and about during the day. With a watch you have years of battery life or if you have a automatic watch even more years.

Some Casio g shocks run on solar power so also super reliable and 200m water resistance you can easily take a swim with and time yourself doing your laps ( I know you like swimming @Silver :))

I agree with you!

Funny story, I decided not to wear a watch for VapeCon 2016 and to rather rely on my cell.
It was quite a big mistake.

I need to check the time often because the whole day is carefully planned. Needless to say, taking my phone out my pocket every 5 mins was such a schlepp and it felt awkward carrying it in my hand all the time. And... my battery did go flat later in the day!

I wore my watch for VapeCon 2017 and 2018. Quick glance down and I could see the time in what felt like a millisecond compared with taking the phone out and pressing the button to turn it on.

Won’t be making that mistake again.

Wristwatches certainly have their place when you need fast access to the time.

Thanks for the heads up on the G shock. Ya, I don’t swim with a watch because I just do all my laps and check how long I took for all of them. I don’t time the individual laps. I get out the pool and check the time. They have a big lovely clock on the wall. Then I jot it down on my cell in my bag ;-)

Oh schucks but precisely a phone is not as reliable and besides reliability alot of industry's still rely on watches eg- medical/Doctors.

I plan on doing more budget friendly pieces in the near future alongside the casios I just got but at moment I'm satisfying all my wants first :-D

Interesting! l don't think I know anyone who wears a watch these days.

Its interesting I too never really noticed anyone wearing watches a year back but once you really start looking (especially if you are a collector/enthusiast) you see alot more people wearing watches than before.
 
Have not worn a watch for decades. Now i wear this for other reasons than time.

My mother and father in law only wear a fit bit too because they get discounts on their life and medical insurance for achieving x amount of steps a week :-D

It's pretty funny watching them manipulate the steps made is all I'm saying :-D
 
Edit - Saw announcement is 12 June :)

Would make an awesome fathersday gift from you to......me, just saying! LOL

Thank you @StompieZA and @RenaldoRheeder I appreciate the condolences.

My heart aches for my Grandfather the most, they have been married for roughly 60 years and the pain in his eyes kills me.

Time can only heal but once again thank you .

A mom or gran is diamonds that will never be replaced. I FEEL YOUR PAIN:chupi:
