Anyone Have Experience with Knot?
I finally got around to checking out the Knot watch company. Some of the designs and described techniques are really appealing to me, and the prices certainly seem reasonable. Along with the watch I was specifically interested in (I'm going to be coy because I worry about smaller brands getting sold out), I also found a quite handsome little solar military-ish number that I'd like to tack on to my theoretical order. It's priced well and would fill a color gap in my collection.
I'm very comfortable making an online purchase based on reviews specific to a given model, or one very close to it. But buying two watches without establishing firsthand knowledge of a brand seems a little crazy to me!
My understanding is that individual watches seem to be well regarded, but is this consistent across their offerings? What about the rather unique bands they offer, are they worth the (fair-seeming) extra cost? Anything else I should be aware of before ordering? I would normally never consider blind buying more than once, but I also don't want to deal with shipping more than I need to.

I've got a Knot with a platinum flake dial. Can only say that it is excellent. Superbly finished, good movement, top bracelet - you must buy that separately.
It's Knot like I'm wearing one today...
I didn't buy any of their bands, as they didn't appeal to me. So I got 18mm bands elsewhere.
Quality is solid, with the small seconds hitting the marks consistently, and a very clean watch overall. Nothing too fancy, but what is there is well-implemented.
