Very nice watch indeed. Now I'm looking at watches, like I need one. Some very freaky watches on Amazon.
Yes indeed.....plenty of cheesy/or bonkers watches.

I would have been sorely tempted by the Seiko sports5 automatic self winding type. Imagine....a watch that doesn't need a battery!! :eek:...for twice the price...but I didn't see those until AFTER I'd ordered the Lorus Lumibrite. Typical! Maybe next time?

I've been for a ride with my new watch-and I am at least 0.009 percent faster.

What more could you ask for?

Some of those self-winders used to not take very well to the presence of vibration, such as lawn mowing. I suppose that problem has been solved.

I have owned a fancy Omega Seamaster for 18 years but only worn it rarely in the last 10. Been on a succession of cheapish digital hobbies, plus for triathlons etc a Garmin 920XT. This is only suitable for racing/training, i.e. not as a day to day watch. so have replaced with a very pricey 935 which is a proper watch, plus does all the Garminy things, inc HR, and battery as a watch lasts days not hours. Also can be used to read texts etc linked to phone,

My HR is resting around 43 and dropping to 34-35 on occasions so any lower I will be officially dead

Expensive, but I love it.

No, it hasn't. My Seiko 5 stopped keeping proper time after a few years and the jeweller couldn't make it work properly again, which is why I've switched to a Pulsar solar watch (Pulsar is yet another division of Seiko...).
