Help me Decide

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect daily watch, the one GADA to rule them all. I want it to be nice enough that I feel good wearing it, but not so nice I’m paranoid about a ding here or there. It n...

I do love it and it looks stunning. For casual tshirt and jeans though, the rubber is nice. Still, I do imagine I will get a lot of wear on the steel! Great photo. You captured it better than I did.

6.5” The 36mm is a perfect fit and one of the most comfortable to wear watches that somehow doesn’t get messed up by my wrist bone!

Nice looking watch! Those extra finishing details add a lot.

commented on Venezianico...What about this watch ·

I’ve had one in the past. Here are my thoughts. The build quality is typical for the price point. Sufficient, but not substantial. The dial was cool but not as mesmerizing as I thought it would be. In sunlight, a lot of light still reflected, which surprised me.

Still, I enjoyed wearing the watch. It was elegant and classy looking. My biggest gripe was the band. It was stiff and not great. It felt like really cheap leather. In fact, when I got it it creaked really loudly whenever it moved, which added to the cheap feel. Fortunately, straps are easily replaced. Also, the lug width is small for the size on the 40mm.

In summary, it’s a good piece if you don’t set your expectations too high. It felt more like a $300 piece to me. It looks good and wears comfortably. I wasn’t blown away, but it wasn’t bad. I’d give it a 6.5 or 7/10 score.

One more though.I had a sour experience with their customer service. Very eager and friendly when making the sale, but ignore you for days and days when you reach out with questions after the sale. Even after trying multiple channels. Left a bad taste in my mouth for the brand.

Good luck. 😂 I said the same thing!
