This watch has been getting the most wrist time this week. Even over my Rolex. I'm amazed at quality of this King Seiko.

Tudor BB for the week, really need to swap straps but the EO MN strap is pretty comfortable
Winters pretty much here, so time to bust out some watches with leather straps.
I'm not wearing a watch, but I'm carrying this one.

Never truly a collector and I thought I was a reformed Flipper but I woke up this morning intending to shake things up. I was contemplating a “Summer Watch” for an upcoming vacation and instead of purchasing a cheap fun beater, I turned my watch collection upside down.
Sold my 2 Grand Seiko, my Longines Legend Diver, my IWC Le Petit Prince, and even what I had called my exit watch; the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin in Rose Gold.
As their replacement I picked up a D Serial number Rolex GMT Master II Stick dial with pre-ceramic aluminum Pepsi bezel, no holes case.
Perfect vacation watch!

Ah the age old debate - I always was partial to Coke .. haven't needed the extra time zone in a while but use the bezel for timing purposes whenever I wear it
My photos are garbage compared to yours, but here's my watch for the day: Casio Forester.

Back to the CW GMT today...
I am enjoying Summer straps. It's like having a new arsenal of watches...
Big fan of the Forester. Big fan of Casio. My wife claims to have the ability to kill the quartz battery of any watch she wears. And maybe so in most of her "Ladies" watches. Got her a Forester and it ran fine. Graduated her to a Baby G-Shock and she hasn't taken it off since Christmas.
Something is wrong with my Kinetic. I had that suspicion already a while ago. I doesn't matter how long I wear it, the power indicator always shows the lowest setting (5sec jump vs. 30sec jump for 6 months power). Yesterday I received a toothbrush charger for induction charging (suggestion from here - many thanks) and low and behold the run down watch starts running as soon as you put it on. So the induction magic is working yet even after 18h it still shows the lowest power level - there must be something wrong with the battery itself. Is this a common problem and how much does it costs to get it fixed?
Have you tried "manually" winding it? I.E. hold the watch in your hand and move it back and forth for it least 20 minutes? (Something you do when you're watching inane videos on YouTube)
When I first got my Kinetic, it only got to 20 (1 month, I think) on the power reserve indicator. Watching YT videos, I did that. Now have 30 (6 months).
I'm not sure that just wearing it day to day will take it to max charge, unless, maybe you're doing a marathon.
I think a replacement battery is in the $60+ range, but not sure.
I will try that shaking suggestion but it sounds a bit redundant. I hear the weight moving on my wrist as it is so top heavy it's moving constantly so I guess that part is working fine. I fear that the battery was drained too much and now runs only on a reduced capacity.
