So, uhh, I'm running a watch contest?

[A790]

Some of you may know that I run a watch review website (www.watchesyoucanafford.com). I'm running a contest right now to win a Seiko 5 SNK809.

The site isn't very popular so your chances of winning are pretty good! lol

All you need to do is comment on the review. That's it. No bullshit with signing up for this, "liking" that, etc. Just comment and you're entered.

Rules here: http://www.watchesyoucanafford.com/m...atch-giveaway/

Enjoy!

I entered. I like your website, although I'm not as into watches as you are Cam.

Not really in the same world, but would be neat to see a short review of the Casio Classic Digital watch.

MEC sells it, and I think it's a funny little bit of retro to go along with some good functionality.

Nice mobile version of the site. Didn't comment, 40mm is the absolute minimum for me and I prefer 43/44m.

In. Thanks Cam.

I hear you. 40mm is my minimum, and I prefer 41-43mm. I was disappointed when I learned you can't really get a Seiko 5 larger than 37 mm because it's such a staple in the automatic scene.

Very cool, i've been thinking of getting into watches again, are we allowed to suggest 'a watch you can afford?' I was looking at those cheaper old soviet-era made ones by Vostok (like the Komandirskie) or Poljot, maybe they'll send you one for review?

Um... a Seiko SNZ is 42mm ,a 5 series, and almost exactly the same as a SNK

LOL I am always open to suggestions, but generally my site isn't popular enough for manufacturers to send me watches to review (it'd be nice though... lol)

I should have clarified the price point as well. SNZ's are generally $150+. A good point though, I'd should pick one up...

Very nice looking website. I like it.

You didn't let me finish. Or option #2 that I am stupid. Haha.

I'm hoping to pick up a new watch so I'll be in touch about who/how the review is done.

Are you gonna lend me a watch to review? <3 <3

That's the idea, just waiting for the money to settle and then I can pick it up. Won't be anything other worldly.

Nah that's cool man, I really appreciate the support I am a watch geek and am always stoked to review something new!

Cam, I like the website you've started I've been following it, on and off, since you launched about a year ago. It's definitely a great concept - professional reviews of watches which are not the standard gamut of mid-range and high-end pieces.

Considering what you have on the site, particularly the Hamilton and Tissot offerings, I imagine that the "affordable" price-point which you are going for is sub-$1,500 MSRP; is this the case? There are definitely some winners and interesting pieces to be scoped in that range.

And am I mistaken, or is there no review of your Armand Nicolet yet? I suppose the MSRP is higher than $1,500

Since you're looking for some discussion, I'll make some comments on some more recent articles.

Yea I'm trying to keep the focus of that site to the sub-$1,500 price point, more towards the $200 - $1,000 mark.

I haven't reviewed the Armand Nicolet yet because, if I'm honest, I can't take a good picture of that watch to save my life. lol

I started the site because when I first started making some decent buys (at the $1,000 - $2,000 range) there was a serious lack of sites that even talked about those watches let alone reviewed them. I'm not really trying to make money at it so much as I'm trying to give people perspective.

And thanks for your support
