Although I have never had an apple watch - I work as a software engineer everyday so getting a device that is purely mechanical is a small release. I also feel like our society is so disposable and watches are one of the few products that isn't disposable, even a cheap Casio will be running 10 years from now. Although I do have some fear about the lazer regulated movements like the powermatic 80 on such as the tissot prx, being that it is hard to regulate down the line in a repair.

Whats the band on the Duro? Any good?

The Seamaster 300 heritage is my current top grail. I love the styling plus I heard it has a slightly newer movement compared to the Seamaster Diver 300, which I understand is part of the price increase over the Diver 300.
