Any regrets going sprite?
For those that pulled the trigger on the sprite, did you have any regrets?
I love the left side crown personally, and for some reason the cyclops look more balanced to me being on the left. |

Wearing it right now, insanely nice and addictive watch. I wear them on the right wrist, so for my is even easier to read the date, etc.

My dad is a lefty and LOVES it! We were just chatting about it this past weekend as he smiled while enjoying his time with it. :)

Had one. Loved the color scheme and crown placement (I wore it on my left hand). But the date window just didn’t work for me.

No regrets at all but still getting used to it. Wear it on both wrists. The right wrist seems more natural for the watch, but getting used to a watch on my righ wrist takes some getting used to. Being a right hander I am concerned about the banging it will get being on my dominant wrist.
What does everybody thing about the future of the Sprite and left handed watches in general from Rolex. I keep thinking either they will discontinue the Sprite, or double down and come out with other left handed watches> |

I do the same, and tried a Sinn Destro (EZM3) and could not get used to it, on my right wrist. I sold it, in favor of a different Sinn. I do love the look of the Sprite, on people who wear it correctly. It looks silly on the left wrist, IMO. Love the color scheme, as well. Kat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

The watch was designed for left handed people, to be worn on the right wrist. I don’t know why anyone else would want one. It looks weird when worn backwards. Too gimmicky for me. Sadly, I couldn’t wear it on either wrist, because I’ve been wearing my non-Destro watches “correctly” for years, even though, I’m a true southpaw.

Love mine. I'm a righty and wear it on my left wrist. Looking at the date took a second to get used to, especially when switching from another watch. I also like how the crown doesn't dig into my hand at times.

No regrets.
When you’re ready for another just buy another color. |

I think these will do very well as a collectible piece in the future.

I love the GMT II and the colors are great. I write left handed so I’m a lefty from that POV - but I operate my mouse at work with my right hand. So I only wear it when I’m not at work. I’ve always worn a watch on my left hand - so it’s taken some time to get used to having a watch on my right wrist.
I’m absolutely going to keep it - but it has fueled my appetite for the Batman or Pepsi Version - like I said love the watch - but not a daily. I split daily between my AK and SD43. |

No Regrets. Striking watch. Love mine on jubilee. Only regret is setting the damn thing! Takes some getting used to.

I bought the gronster a year ago. It's a pretty nice watch but I prefer wearing my chocolate chip cookie a little more.

Once you go sprite, you never go right. I like the colors so much that it’s by far my favorite GMT. It looks backwards in the hand, but appears correct on the wrist, even my left wrist!

As a Lefty who wears watches on my right wrist, I had to have it once it was announced. Absolutely no regrets. Would I get and wear a Pepsi if the chance came up? Sure. Would I replace my Sprite with a Pepsi. NO.
