It’s as good as hoped. Wish it was 38 instead of 41mm but still a delight.
They’ve been intermittently sold out but this isn’t a limited edition so you can eventually get one.
Delightful timekeeping on mine so far – better than chronometer spec, under 2 seconds per day or better. Astonishingly good!

Took the SBGN001 for a weekend jaunt. Hiking, snow, desert. It did great. The wear comfort on this 39mm size is fantastic.
Desaturated orange Barton band – I love this color.
I chose this at Costco, and my then-girlfriend and mother both contributed to it.
Basic Seiko, 7T32 quartz with chronograph, alarm and lume dial. Served me all through grad school and Fermilab, only to be replaced by a Blue Angels Citizen when I started flying. I recently sent it to Seiko in NJ for a battery, gaskets and crystal and am rediscovering why I loved it. It’s just a wonderful, versatile, easy to wear thing that disappears on the wrist.
A seiko quartz isn’t going to impress anyone; it’s not a luxury item. More a superb functional with a design that takes time to appreciate.
SNE498. Good indeed.
And I can’t wait for my OWC to get back.
Spiffy, isn’t it? BluShark “AlphaShark Slim” 22mm camel NATO with PVD black hardware. As usual, I trimmed off the extra layer and shortened it to declutter.
I like it. Black on gold paired with the converse is pretty darn spiffy.
Actually dressed up, since I have a kid performing today. Omega on Barton quick release silicone, very comfortable.
I need to write a long post about this one. For now just a picture will have to do.
An interesting combo with a blue dial.
This is the Barton via Amazon. Good value at ~20USD.
Still not sure what I think of suede though.
So this arrived today:
That’s the Equilibrium, the new model from Yes Watches. I had a small but prolonged role as an engineering consultant and got to visit Hong Kong twice as part of it. I chose the shiny black titanium case and orange accents because by golly I’m proud and I want you to ask me about it!
It took years of engineering and manufacturing obstacles, and of course a world financial crisis too, that didn’t exactly help. Bjorn et al: ya done great.
And today is tax day, I’m finishing ours on TurboTax, where I work and also have a small role. I’m proud of that, too. 😉
