Tactile Aspects of Watch Preference

I don’t have friends who are into watches, and have a limited local AD access. 
 

While beauty is in the beholder‘s eye, there must be some beloved watches that have earned their followings based on how they feel. They’re not otherwise deficient, but they don’t appear to stand out in a way that’s obvious from photographs or descriptions.

So what I’m left to wonder is: What watches sold you principally based on the way they felt in your hand and on your wrist?

Both of my Orient Kamasu. One is on a bracelet and the other is a rubber strap. They feel and fit great!

Cheers!

Good to hear, because a Kamasu is under consideration. Thanks!

The entire DressKX series looks and feels better on wrist than in renders.

But I think the best example of this is the Presage Sharp Edge line.  Renders look like this.

It actually looks like this.

It's an amazingly competent watch for $750ish new and feels fantastic on wrist (a competent Seiko bracelet even!).

Mi first titanium watch. I new it would be lighter than steel, but damn. It's like nothing is there. Zelos Maco Ti.

Never had the titanium experience. Curious for sure (?Ti curious?).
