Always wanted a watch (case, band) made out of tungsten carbide, mostly because I have seen how durable it is with my wedding band.
I was only aware of a few really cheap quartz watches made from it, and one Swiss Legend model. But in the past few weeks I randomly read about some TC watches from Android Watches USA in FL (now renamed Aragon), either here or on watchuseek; which caught my interest. Anyway, one ebay auction later I am now the proud owner of an Android AD726 Hercules watch. 44mm black dial, luminous indexes/ hands, exhibition caseback, sapphire crystals, SII NH35A movement with date. This one has only gained 1 second in the past 5 days (knock on wood). Now being made from TC, I knew it would be heavy. This thing tips the scales at 10.5oz!

I like the look of that. BUT, this trend of HUGE watches I hate. I want a watch that does NOT make my wrist look small .Why should I wear a watch that (AFAIK) only is worn on the Jersey Shore?
OP, Nice watch, but, I am Not a Body builder,Pro-wrestler.Bro-Dozer owner/operator. |

I like the look but that's too heavy for me.
My Ball Spacemaster is very similar in size and weight and I only wear it occasionally due to the weight. Cool watch.

Obviously some people are concerned with a watch fitting under their cuff at work where they won't be targeted as being male.
Is that bracelet TC, too? They do add to the weight but also balance wearing it. Larger watches on Nato's tend to need a tighter fit to keep from falling off the back of the wrist. A bracelet helps it sit still. As for size - it's in the eye of the beholder. Small watches are a white urban coastal thing. Overseas they would get laughed at as being a women's watch. Real men in other countries still consider a watch as a statement of social prominence and power. Might be why so many are cowered by weight lifters, the military, brodozer owners, etc. Nice watch. |

Lame Flashy No tritium Flashy - I am still waiting for anyone besides the wife / kids to notice it actually (but I wear watches every day, and its like a new haircut - who really notices anyway...) No tritium - true, but that is true of all my watches.

Yup, both case and band are TC. Thanks! |

Been wondering about the quality of those, I've been looking at a Grey Silverjet with the 9100 movement.

I've got the same watch. I also have about two dozen other Android/Aragon watches. Wing Liang is one of the best when it comes to service after the sale. He is one of the most honorable boutique watch makers.

I had a Seiko automatic last me 41 years without any service even though it had water incursion. I killed it by wearing it using reciprocating hedge clippers. I have over 30 Seiko NH35,36 and 38 watches. Great quality and functionality at a decent price.
