Can anyone recommend somewhere in Scotland that can polish the light scratches off a polished casing ?
Also - My Omega Planet Ocean has a loose bezel - Not sending it back to Omega for 6 - 8 weeks

Not in Scotland, but I posted this on another forum - if you are happy to send them - i was delighted with Simon’s service.

Gushy review warning.

Garmin looks good. I've been running a Galaxy Watch 3 for a couple of years. It's not bad, but looking for a change

I've gone the other way. Smart watch is in the drawer and i'm wearing my non-smart watches again. I found i had switched off most of the notifications and i was only real using it for the health stuff.

So i've bought this instead www.ouraring.com

Early days but loving choosing what watch to wear again.
i3s, Volvo and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.

....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

Now that's a cool idea. Bit sketchy on the details and ~£100 a year after a dear hardware outlay is less than ideal. But I think the concept has legs. I'd need it to be 'good' at swimming which is remarkably not a common feature set. Most watches to it, but often not particularly well.

So far I'm loving it. It worked in at just under £300 after custom fees, i was originally really worried about the resale (or lack thereof) but the gen3 seem to be going for around £200-£230 on eBay so that's one less thing to worry about. There is no monthly fee for the first 6 months and then after that it's $7 a month, which i think sits really well with the likes of Whoop being significantly more.

It's been bullying me to go to bed earlier and (more worryingly) it's already showed me how f*cked my sleep is after a few beers - and how many days it actually takes to get me back into the green again.

Samsung watch was sold a month ago and there's no looking back for me.
