I have a fieldmaster Kinetic GMT
I love the watch but I hate the movement. It is not your regular quartz it charges the battery by your movement. Making it a pain to charge and you can't put it on a watch winder that wont work. A battery change? many wannabe watch makers did not want to touch it. The one's that did want it $150 USD for a battery change that takes 15 min max. I decided to do it my self and it's a pain taking the rotor and small screws then buying the battery buying online leaving the watch dissemble for days or weeks. If you can make it your daily I would say go for it. If you're like me and you wear watches once a month is a pain to recharge.
There's even memes about it 😂😭:

That's really interesting and helpful. Thank you. I think it looks really cool but it's not something I would wear all the time.

Bang on - just what I would echo. Love it but it’s needy - as in needs to be worn.
