Whatever is released in W&W are usually released to the general public 12 months later; so unless you are looking for a reason NOT to buy a watch, there's no need to wait.
I think chronoscope function is used to measure heartrate and chronograph is used to measure speed.
I think they went overboard with their pricing, probably expected the covid "boom" to last longer than it did. I think they will start losing even more market share if they do not normalize their prices with their new releases in 2024.
For me, the bracelet has to be comfortable; having easy-adjust function (e.g. T-fit, etc.) helps. The movement is important because (1) accuracy (2) the way the crown feels when I wind it. The stiff winding on my Tag Heuer Carrera Date always plays on my mind when I wear it. And lastly it's the brand; I'd want to wear an Omega or Rolex over an Orient if there's a need to impress.
