Yah the earth phase is pointless.. like... I know it's still sunny out where I am based on the time of day already thanks.
It's just a way to get some colour on the dial and the lume is pretty sweet, the waters of the earth glow blue... so just a showy piece.
It's ineresting Hobz you don't like light watches, I also get annoyed by that in certain instances. I want to feel a bit of something, especially if it's metal. Even my actual plastic watches the G-Shocks I have, the weight is about right on them somehow.
I got a titanium dive watch in the mail the other day that I honestly thought I would love as in the photos online it had all the colours I like and features seemed well done, but not even 30 seconds out of the box when it arrived I knew I hated it and a major part of it was the complete lack of weight which is of course partly because it's titanium. I just immediately packed it back up and initiated a return.

It’s probably because I’m used to big heavy watches. When I go back to an ultra light one, it feels strange to me. I have that swatch x blancpain one in yellow and it’s just like this moon swatch. It’s super duper light.
I haven’t really worn it since I bought it in Hong Kong last year. It just doesn’t feel right

Part of why I like to wear the Panerai so much is the feel of a big heavy watch on my wrist so I know it's there. Not the most comfortable in the hot humid summer, but around the house and in the winter it's great.
I tried on a titanium Sinn U1 and it was so cool though. A big 44mm diver that felt like nothing was really neat to wear. I get it though

Yah I think its really model specific?? I have a titanium Seiko 36mm that I really love despite it being very lightweight... but this watch I ordered online the other day it was the Timex dive watch and it just didn't live up to my expectations at all and felt so cheap.

Oh yeah an expensive titanium lightweight watch will feel a lot better than a cheap plated brass Timex for sure. Even though it's light, titanium feels solid and.. well I hate putting it this way, but "high quality". The brass Timex watches look ok in pictures, but quite cheap. I imagine the stainless models aren't that much better either.

This particular Timex was a titanium... just didn't work for me... the watch community was celebrating it as a coup especially what you're getting for the price and with all of Timex's discount codes was able to do 25% off it had to wait months for it to be back in stock actually... I was drawn in by the tiffany blue/mint markers and specs... but when it was actually in hand the markers were like glow in the dark green less sophisticated looking than the photos and the automatic winding was super noisy... crown had a weird dodgy feel to it. Just not what I thought it would be and hte super light feel didn't help things.
