After vivid learning about the world of fine folders in this forum for the last two months, I decided to enter it with my new and first Spyderco in my life: the slicy Native Chief. And I am LOVING IT!!!!!
Happy new year from good old Switzerland to everyone.

I’m gonna have to sacrifice one of those things to get her something with a chance of fitting.

I got the watch to the right for my daughter, I think it was for her 6th birthday. She has very skinny wrists and it fits very well. The light isn't anything to write home about, but kids almost never use a backlight. They have great vision and the screen on this watch is crystal clear, the digits almost looks printed.
I don't know the model number, but if you want it, I can look it up when she comes back from school.

Some DF appreciation. My first Spyderco, although bought together with a PacSalt1 which was later sold.

Re: Knife & Watch
Thanks, that model is actually the one I’ve finally settled on for its size. There is a light pink/white face version that she has chosen.aicolainen wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 3:48 amWoodpuppy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 1:27 pmLove these budget Casios.

How has it fared around water? I’ve tried to get 50m or better water resistance, but I know many folks swim with their F91s etc.
BTW, what is the first watch you posted below:

Re: Knife & Watch
Nice Speedy! I have one inbound due Monday. I was born in '69 and have always wanted one. Figured I better jump since Omega just disco'd the 1861/1863 movement versions. Its a year late for my 50th but will be a major milestone none the less.
Thanks for sharing this!

Re: Knife & Watch
I'm not sure how much water it has been exposed to. Girls are generally more careful, and I think she usually remembers to take it off before she goes swimming. It's still in good shape after approx. 2 years, thats all I can say.Woodpuppy wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 6:50 am

Got a 100m WR analogue for the boy :-) It's beat up pretty badly, but still ticking away.
The watch in the picture is a H3 GWS G10 pro diver
They've released a lithium version with better battery life since I bought mine, but it comes at the expense of a slightly thicker case. Both versions are still available:

Re: Knife & Watch
Congrats on the incoming. Great timing on the purchase. Great watch and they love a strap like no other watch.Cycletroll wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 7:02 amNice Speedy! I have one inbound due Monday.

Re: Knife & Watch
Thank you! That is a really clean looking watch. I greatly appreciate the screw down crown! I’ve been all in for automatics, but recently got that G-Shock 5610 which is of course quartz, with atomic timekeeping and solar power... I might be able to find it in my heart to add a quartz analog :Daicolainen wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 7:17 amI'm not sure how much water it has been exposed to.

Re: Knife & Watch
all these omegas hurt a little... i want a moon watch so bad, but i'll never afford one. i'm pretty happy with my citizens and casios honestly, but it would be cool to have one anyway.

Re: Knife & Watch
I'd love one too. I don't think I would like a 42mm watch, but I think I'd make an exception for a Speedy. Especially since they have the new calibre that is a master chronometer.
