Surprised?

It's a niche brand released on a random Tuesday, I'm sure they'll sell soon enough.

This. There needs to be enough folks out there that want a creative dial, in a baby blue colorway, on an integrated bracelet, from a brand not a lot of folks have experience with. I like Straum, but like many other good brands, at that price point, it can be tough to have a quick sell out.

It doesn’t look as good as the other blue dial variant of the Jan Mayen, so yeah not surprised

They aren't very well known, so not surprised. Great watches though, I covered the opphav a while ago.

Dropping 1600€ in a Straum is not really the same as throwing the usual 250€ for a NH35-powered diver at any other micro brand.

Also, I guess that everybody who knows Straum, likes Straum and can afford Straum, already went for the white or blue Jan Mayen models. It’s difficult to have many repeat customers in a release if you’re offering the same watch they already own in a different color way.

Very niche, expensive and with very limited appeal.

Not surprised it's not selling tbh.

I got one. I just found #straum via #windupwatchfair post and would have had one of the other dials had I known them before. Glad about this dial.

Shit I am getting a refund on this watch

Why are you cancelling?

Can u see 62% won’t get this watch. They just shipped to me. In 24 h it can’t be sold out100 pieces

Couple questions;

• When you bought the watch did you buy it because you liked it, or were you caught up in fear or missing out or any false sense of hype?

• If you liked the watch, why does it matter what others think?

• How does the impact of a watch selling out, or not, impact your enjoyment of it?

Most limited release watches take weeks/months to sell out, this is not any different. It is a very nice watch, inline with their ethos and design language at a reasonable price. The question vaguely thrown out there is "would one spend money on this or something else?" I am surprised it is even as high as it is given the varied personal preferences. In reality, I bet 99% of buyers would buy something else with $1500 because there are countless options. It does not mean the one(s) they did not choose are not good, it just means they preferred something different.

Lastly, do not take polls that seriously. Take feedback and go with your intuition.
