This is the newer version of the NY0040 which actually is the direct SKX007 competitor. I just picked up a NY0040-9E brand new even though its discontinued. This is a very cool watch though it was a close second for me just wanted to provide some insight

Oh ya its both

Wheres yogurt guy? This is more his wheel house

Came to say these. Look at all three and see which aesthetic you like

Always thought this Scurfa would work great as a ladies gada watch:

I personally think the Hamilton Khaki Pilot day date fits this mold. I am always playing with the dome distortion youre talking about and it definitely has some wrist presence. 42mm but all dial also called the Coop

Hublot

Definitely the GS Winter SBGA415 for me. I know its above that price right now but wont be forever if i had to guess. Absolutely love that watch

Hamilton khaki field would go great in this mix and can definitely find them under $500 in a bunch if places

Best ones in here are timex. My theory is the three watch collection is the best collection. I have 12 currently but hope to one day have 3 perfect watches

Bring the downvotes but ignore all these color dial preaching haters. Keep it neutral and appreciate the finer details

I like the idea of a weekender or a duro with an altered strap/bracelet to level it up

Best answers are casio duro or timex weekender with strap upgrades. All personal preference on those two watches based on wrist size dive vs field and then leather vs nato vs silicone

Love my timex weekender. Bought one when i was 18 and is still keeping great time 15 years later. Tons of strap options and several color and size options available. As others have said just make sure you have a box or drawer to keep it in at night unless you find the tick soothing

Get a timex or casio duro from amazon to see if you even like wearing watches is my suggestion

Yep its got the literal best light up tech on any analog watch. Glow up paint is not needed

Go for one of the Orient Mako 3 options. 42mm, has a day and a date complication, lumed numerals, good color choices, and 200m wr. It also has the same case as the kamasu so if he wants to upgrade the bracelet to something even sturdier he can for relatively cheap. Its a great watch and one of my favorites even over my seikos

Hamilton Khaki Pilot. Love how the Day is fully spelled out at the top with the date at the 6 feels so symmetrical

Omga like? Omega has a storefront in every major city in america. Zenith exists in the watch enthusiast shadows

12 watches 7 brands. I really like hamilton so i have 3 of theirs. Also like casio seiko and timex so i have 2 each there
