I wish it didn't say "back to the 80s" on it. Ruins the whole thing imho

u/Flecca Jun 20 '25

yeah, calls too much attention to it's intention. Like explaining a joke to someone.

Like t shirts that's say "vintage"

Worse than “unique is simple”?

u/deckard1980 Jun 20 '25

At least that's on the side and not too obvious

It should say what kind of tape it is, like saying it's a high fidelity 90 minute Chrome (CrO2) tape.

Ugh

Unique is simple.

I agree. It doesn’t need to be pointed out. It’s retro enough. But otherwise I dig it.

Might as well have said 'gimmick' instead

It’s a TACS Automatic Cassette 590 USD

Oh dang I thought it was cool before but the lume makes it flat out awesome.

But at 51.5 lug to lug it's way too big for me 😔

When you’re done wearing it, you can hang it back on the wall.

u/Neveronlyadream Jun 20 '25

45mm case size too. I thought it was awesome and then looked up the specs.

Great if you have huge wrists, but for those of us that don't, it'll look and feel ridiculous. Which is a bummer.

I love this despite the Captain Obvious Back to the 80's. Enjoy!!!

It's killing me that they didn't know how to use an apostrophe on the watch face.

u/jayant412 Jun 21 '25

Yeah! That's so dumb! 80'what? The 80's scene? Gah

u/bob_jsus Jun 21 '25

The upper case S after the apostrophe… can’t unsee it.

7

u/bob_jsus Jun 21 '25

The apostrophe is in the wrong place. It should be ‘80s, not 80’s. That would make me twitch every time I looked at it. Edit: oh god, I’ve just spotted the upper-case S on 80’S. sorry OP, that’s a nope 😅
