MAEN Manhattan 37 review

If you were thinking Tissot, maybe put this on the option list as well.

I really like this watch, it's a poor mans nautilus. But the bracelet, case and overall execution is very nice. I prefer the one with the date and I am on the waiting list for one.

That's a good looking watch.

I'll just mention this because I say it every single time anyone talks about an integrated bracelet watch, and it's true...THERE'S NO POINT IN MEASURING LUG TO LUG ON A WATCH LIKE THIS AS THE CASE STARTS TO ANGLE DOWN, AND LOOKS LIKE PART OF THE BRACELET.  YOUR EYE READS THE CASE AS STOPPING AND THE BRACELET BEGINNING WHERE IT STARTS THAT DOWNWARD TURN.  DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE TRUTH IS, THAT'S WHAT YOUR EYE SEES.  IT'S LIKE HOW A WATCH WITH A LARGE DIAL AND SMALL BEZEL WILL APPEAR BIGGER THAN A SAME SIZE WATCH WITH A SMALLER DIAL AND BIGGER BEZEL.  PEOPLE UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IN THEIR REVIEWS, SO I DON'T SEE WHY THE L-L THING IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND.

I'm sorry to yell at you all, but nobody seems to be listening.  Really, the case wears like its ends are part of the bracelet so functionally the watch in the video is almost square.

Agree. It’s still 37mm wide and does not wear small. The rectangular shape and integrated lugs make it wear bigger than 37mm. I think it’s very well executed.

If you have said this multiple times and nobody is listening, is it possible that it does matter to other people and your opinion isn’t something you should yell at people about?…regrading a watch…we’re not talking politics or gun control. Relax. It‘a just a measurement. It’s ok.

Absolutely possible. I will say that I find yelling about watches a better use of my time that yelling about guns or politics. That said, I’ll try to keep it down.
