Don't know why

I was drawn to it - I know cheap, no panache - but WTF - I kept staring at it and finally just bought it, all reasons not to buy were not quality related.

I like their products and used to have RW. The thing is most people turn their noses when you talk about this brand but same folks rave about Richard Mille

I say that to myself all the time. Why not?? Then you look around and have $1500 of GShocks.

Nice looking and if you are a heavy sport watch collection kind of guy it will fill a spot nicely.

Congrats!!

Does it tell the time accurately?

Do you like it?

And, most importantly, do you care what other people think?



It's a nice looking watch from a decent enough manufacturer, what's not to like in my book.

Over Christmas my wife abandoned all her higher-end watches to wear a dirt-cheap Chinese watch I bought her as a joke because her time-keeping is so bad:

I was looking at others, but kept coming back to it - I liked the face and loved the blue hands. I kept researching and the only real negatives folks had to say was it didn't have a long history (but as regnant says neither does Richard Mille) and that it's a fashion brand, but I think this is quite classic. Can't wait to see it in person

it looks very nice for a chrono, don't know much about them but never thought they were a fashion brand, if you like it that's the most important, For many years I preferred wearing a 1500 $ Omega than fakes of expensive watches, as long as you don't wear a replica it's fine by me

Well - it came today and I like more in person than I did online. It is a good quality buy for less than $1k.
