My first watch was a Gruen Automatic bought with my own money when I was 14. That was the start of my love for watches. Unfortunately, I gave it to my then girlfriend. I never saw it again.
Hell yeah it's fun ! And well, to me watch is a great tool as well as finest piece of jewelery. Gimme good watch over anything from Cartier, Swarovski or whoever makes expensive gems. Or no... give me gems so I can sell them and buy watches.8 watches is a mild addiction, over 20 is a true addiction[emoji106], over 50 is a sickness over 100 is a mental disorder and over 300 is truly insane and it only gets worse from there. Wont tell you where I am at in that schedule.... Lets just say my intials are E. Nasni. LOL But it is great fun no matter what model, price point, Country of Origin, movement etc. There all GOOD!
... and now Shaving AD "Oh the Humanity!"
I ordered a battery for the Aladdin Fossil watch in the OP.
I plan on wearing it again. See how it feels. It's been about 20 years!
Omega is high-end. Everything above their price range is pure luxury...
Glad too meet fellow watch afficionado. Omega AquaTerra is one of watches I crave the most
Don't remember my very first watch, at least not the brand. I know it was brown and not digital, and so I didn't want it! I got a casio digital many years later. During high school, my family discovered that I couldn't tell time and so my brother got me this:
I still have it and it still runs.
Waaaait a second, small boutique brands such as Seagull ? Seagull is a great collection piece, it's Chinese but good ChineseThere are two other Omega's I crave, a Planet Ocean XL (orange bezel) and a vintage Seamaster DeVille crosshair with black dial , like what the fictional character Don Draper wears in Mad Men.
Those and a Panerai and my collection would be complete...oh and a Doxa Sub750T and that should be it, well at least with the expensive watches. Lately I've been into the small boutique brands. Olivier, Maranez, H20/Helberg, G.Gerlach, Detroit Watch Company, Seagull etc...

You are addicted. Your days of normal thinking are over, from now on you crave watches every time you see one. Eh well, I guess we cannot die b/c of that
Pardon my French, but HELL NO !
This thing is kinda cheap at 160 $. But it is run by a ST1901, Seagull in house movement (in house movement means it is designed and build by watch manafacturer, not buy Japanese mechanism and build a case for it - in house mechanism watches are pricey usually), and ST1901 in my opinion is one damn fine movement. Not new either, it has a few miles on it. You my friend have a piece of Chinese watchmaking from a company that has been doing it since 1961.
Be happy I don't know where you keep your watches, you'd be left without this piece
Watch afficionados generally frown upon any boutique and fashion brand. Not all like Seagull, but most agree it's more than decent brand. Seagull, if I am not mistaken even has a tourbillon movement - which generally speaks that manafacturer is ready to produce high end complicated movements. They also have some models with clean design, which I love and would wear without giving second thought.
In the end it's all about your taste (you like Omega, it can't be bad ) but I had to say that Seagull is actually a good brand unlike Michael Kors, Armani, Diesel, Fossil (named after ability to fossilize in 2 years), Nike and Adidas, Puma etc.

Yeah, I was right. Honestly I am losing track of names and labels of movements... it's a good brand
Btw forgot to mention: price of that watch is almost laughable, but I like almost everything about this watch. Dial is kinda complicated but it looks really elegant, and tourbillion is always a nice thing to see. Really nice watch
