why would i want a watch for 29 bucks that does nothing , not even date, when i can wear the better looking Martian watch that does nothing that I bought for 19?
@alacrity However, it shouldn’t be too big of an issue for Righties. It isn’t like you need to wind these things every day. Set the time and leave it until the battery dies in a year or two.
@alacrity@jelliott04 twice a year this would be a pain (thanks, daylight saving time) but even then I’d be taking off the watch to change the time so not a huge deal.
I just bought a cheap watch at Target and didn’t realize it wasn’t waterproof until after the first time I washed my hands while wearing the watch. Fog behind the glass. It has since evaporated but was really inconvenient until then. In for one? Meh.
Fog in the watch now. No bags of rice at work. This seems like it will happen anytime I get any kind of water near this thing. It’s probably going to back to Target very soon. Maybe I should actually get one of these watches…
@Superllama7 Probably, the Amazon link says “40MM STAINLESS STEEL CASE” but makes no mention of thickness which is odd for a $125 watch. Maybe it should only go for, $29?
@Superllama7 I went poking around on Amazon and though the one they link to is 40mm, there are others which are 44. May have to Google the model you’re interested in.
@Superllama7 You’ll choose the diameter (40mm or 44mm) when you order. It is part of the selection drop down boxes. The following choice boxes are grayed out when not compatible with the diameter you choose.
“This is a Rouchefoucauld. The thinnest water-resistant watch in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland, and water resistant to three atmospheres. This is the sports watch of the '80s. Six thousand, nine hundred and fifty five dollars retail! It tells time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad!”
I’m having some trouble matching the photos to what is available. What color is coral in the photos? They give product numbers in the photos but when you go to buy there are a lot of options that don’t correspond…
I can only find one page that has any sort of ratings. Says it averages 5 stars out of 120 reviews. (I’m thinking it combines them from multiple variations of the watches.)
@username I briefly considered it last night @ 11:00, but it seemed many options were grayed out so I didn’t bother poking around as the more attractive ones were clearly not there.
The question is whether bots bought all of these, or if you keyed in all the possible choices when you only had a small fraction of them available for sale. Each option is equally stupid.
Whatever, I bought one anyway. The one socially acceptable piece of jewelry for men.
@cinoclav I’m left-handed. I wear a dive watch with a decent-sized crown at the 3:00 position on my right wrist. It never bothers me at all.
I don’t expect this watch to actually cause you much irritation.
Some military watches actually have the crown at the 9:00 position even though they’re meant to be worn on the left wrist.
@Limewater That still does nothing for the fact that these are hideous.
To note, I meant irritating as in annoying to use. Some could perceive it as meaning irritating to the skin.
@cinoclav I kind of meant “irritating” both ways. The crown is not going to poke into your hand, and it’s not particularly inconvenient to use a crown on the opposite side.
What would be irritating about it to use? The thing looks like it’s only about 7mm thick. It’d be easier to take the watch off to turn the crown anyway.
I almost got one of these watches for my wife, but then I decided to keep her.

@fastharry that leaves you with ten extra dollars to buy two IRKs!
@fastharry Hey, you usually date watches?
Isn’t it about TIME for a mehrathon? Is that still a thing even. I miss it. Sometimes I listen to the song on YouTube for memories.

these are for lefties- literally; They’re for left-handed people.
@alacrity Good eye!
@alacrity @therealjrn Good eye, indeed. I would have never noticed until I tried to wear it! Maybe that’s why they’re here on Meh.

@alacrity @jelliott04 @mtn3pitt Do all of y’all seriously never take your watch off?
I sleep in mine, but I still take it off at least once a day.
@alacrity @mtn3pitt if a watch fogs up, stick it in a bag of raw, dry rice. It’ll pull the moisture out.
@alacrity @jelliott04 @Limewater Watch comes off every night. I just don’t have to adjust the time that much.

My wife would love me wearing one of these old-timey watches. She likes antique looking things in her life, which explains me.
So many colors, so little purple
Needs more Oates.
@JT954 ohh here she comes
@JT954 @nolrak She’s a meh eater
Face diameter? Thickness?
@Superllama7 yes, they have both
@nolrak I asked for that
@Superllama7 I bet the first half of the part number is the diameter in mm
@Superllama7 40mm

@Superllama7 It appears the CH40 is 40mm and the CH44 is 44mm…
@Superllama7
8mm thick
20mm strap lug width
CH0C-0L4TE and R4-1N? I call shenanigans!
Why do we no longer get handy links to the images on this page?

I got a very, very blue one. I’m into it. Colorful.
@Dizavid Me too! I’m really happy with the color
I love my watch. It’s comfortable and it looks pricier than it was. Thanks C&H for helping me masquerade as a wealthy man!
whatch!?
Yeah these are good but you know what would be great? Signed photos of Murr from the Impractical Jokers. Just him.
booooooooooo. no more watches…boooo. more bundles of weird crap kids would like sold really cheap for their prize table… yay.
screw it…the best looking one is the stainless mesh…in for one.

Looks like these are sold by Nordstrom, at that Amazon price.
$50 just for a replacement strap?? Yeesh!
I can only find one page that has any sort of ratings. Says it averages 5 stars out of 120 reviews. (I’m thinking it combines them from multiple variations of the watches.)
If a smart watch tries to look like one of these eyesores, I’d question just how smart it actually is.
Not on my watch!
So watcha watcha watcha want?
Good writeup. Solid, sensible talk. I gotta find me some of these knee-zipper pants.
Why are “similar at amazon” links always are either out of stock or with real real low buy/review numbers? bad comparison
Is it just me, or should the T-rex have been wearing the watch? Meh…
@sivadm Uh, obviously the answer is both of you should have been wearing the watch
I don’t have time for this deal…
Git yer act together - it’s “See exactly what you’re getting”, not “…what your getting”.
another easy day at meh-warehouses
I’m glad I slept on it cause all the decent ones are either sold out or were not available in the first place
@username I briefly considered it last night @ 11:00, but it seemed many options were grayed out so I didn’t bother poking around as the more attractive ones were clearly not there.

Watch it
@AttyVette
Watch this.
A wise website said…
“Why would I wear a watch in the age of the cellphones?”
And I couldn’t give the question a decent answer. So…no!
Well, these look nice.
(99% of the options are tiled out)
The question is whether bots bought all of these, or if you keyed in all the possible choices when you only had a small fraction of them available for sale. Each option is equally stupid.
Whatever, I bought one anyway. The one socially acceptable piece of jewelry for men.
@boygenius1991 bots are too smart to shop here
How do these tell time with no numbers on them? Useless!
How well does leather hold up to sweat? Will it get stinky fast if I’m moister than average?
@dannokun Moist is moist, regardless of the watch brand…your best bet is to get at least two, so you can
achieveattempt proper rotation.You do rotate your footwear as well, don’t you?
These are hideous. Plus having the crown on the left would make them really irritating to use for most of us.
@cinoclav I’m left-handed. I wear a dive watch with a decent-sized crown at the 3:00 position on my right wrist. It never bothers me at all.
I don’t expect this watch to actually cause you much irritation.

Only stainless steel left at this point.
Any special package deals for us OCD types who buy one of each of the 30 offered?
This… Just this but not MEH face pop sockets. Why cruel world why
It’s time to buy. It’s time to cry. I bought a watch and I don’t know why.
