Personally, I'd want better specs for those prices. However, I'm more of a watch nerd than an art/design nerd. I wouldn't know how to put a price on the art of those designs. Hopefully they're built well.

Ah, interesting. Has it been working effectively? I could imagine ICE attempting to lure them away using a whistle of their own to create a false alarm.
Is there a specific whistle that they use? If any whistle will do, I can vouch for this one. It's really loud.
🤔 ah, I suppose that makes sense
Yep. When I visit Lemmy, it tends to feel like a dark place. I don't think news and politics should be dialed down to zero, but the overall negativity here is a bit heavy, and likely a deal-breaker for many exploring Lemmy for the first time.
For comparison to another decentralized social media platform: Nostr generally seems like a pretty positive place. The people tend to be friendly, and it's quite common to see them saying "good morning" to each other for seemingly no reason (aside from having a nice morning, I suppose). Conversations generally seem civil and mature. Unfortunately, there's LOT of Bitcoin stuff to wade through over there.

What's the whistle for? I think I may be out of the loop on this.
Why (and how to) cook a PB&J?
🤔 are you like an anti-spam spambot?
I'm pretty happy with my Fluance RT82. Zero complaints.
Though, to be clear: it's the only one I've owned, so far.
Strangely, seeing the second amendment grow in popularity gives me a positive feeling, and I don't understand why yet.

🤔 what do they think "strive" means?
So, using this model as an example:
For $300, that's a bit of a turn-off. I'd prefer a mechanical movement — even a cheap-but-reliable Seiko ~~NH35~~ (edit: maybe the no-date NH38) movement would do.
There are some nice quartz movements that might be acceptable too, but if they don't specify which movement it is, then it's probably not great.
It has a sapphire crystal, which is pretty much expected at that price range (though Seiko is still a bit behind on this), so it seems kinda odd not to specify which movement is in there.
Aside from the specs, I suppose the rest comes down to build/finish quality, which is hard to gauge without seeing it in person.
