Hope you all are having a wonderfull christmas. I recently stumbeled upon a watchbrand I never heard of before. The brand is called micromilspec. Their watches looks great but I wonder if any of you guys have any experience with the brand? Thanks

Killer find!!!

My wife speaks some German but had to look up “Arbeidsplass”.  It means “fun at work”, or literally “work fun”.  Not something you normally see on the dial of a watch.

There are so many microbrands these days that it is hard to keep up. They look nice but they don't offer a chronograph. Swiss made and looks to be good quality with a 5 year warranty. For a military watch, there is a specific spec they have to meet. I don't see anything on their site indicating they actually meet US or EU military specifications (perhaps I just missed it). For example, the Apple Watch Ultra has been designed to meet MIL-STD 810H. Marathon, Garmin, CWC, and others offer watches that meet military specifications.

It’s a norwegian word for workplace, nothing fun about that 😂

They only do custom orders as I understand it. Given your name you would get something out of this https://www.tidssonen.no/klokkelandslaget-haaland-klokken-militaere-spesialstyrker-og-millionklokke-dagen-derpa-med-micromilspec/

Ah, thank you.  You’re right, no fun there.

There are simply too many microbrands to remember. Most of them do however specify from which material the case is made and which movement is used. This brand doesn't, meaning that they will either put whatever movement you want in a case that will be made according to your specs, or that they are not aware that this is the kind of information that their potential customers need before purchase.

Not quite but close! Fun at work would be „Arbeitsspass„ made out of „Arbeit„ (work) and „Spass„ (fun). it’s closer to „Arbeitsplatz„ which means „place of work“. As someone else already said its not german but Norwegian and sounds fairly similar to German.

Thank you for that.  It confirms that my wife only speaks “some“ German.  She’s a keeper anyway. 😘

Merry Christmas to all!

I always keep in mind that when it comes to milspec, the lowest bidder always gets the job.
