Braclet is great! I still prefer a milled clasp though. The butterfly, while well executed here, is my least favorite design

I agree, but this butterfly works and at least it tapers.

Wears great! It goes with most occasions, slim on the wrist, great dial to look at. If you picked one up, you’ll have no regrets! If you buy from formex, I’d recommend adding the rubber strap and clasp too. After market straps won’t fit

What do you think about the suspension in the case ?

Would this be something hard to fix if it breaks ? It is done with springs ?

Wouldn't say it's a poor man's Aqua Terra, it's a cool watch in it's own right. I own an AT & I'd certainly consider one of these in addition. 😍👍🏻👍🏻

I think the idea behind it is really cool. The watch fits on my wrist perfectly (not too tight, not too loose) so for my wrist the suspension system doesn’t come into play when I’m wearing. I could imagine it getting more use if the watch was slightly tighter on my wrist. With the butterfly clasp there is no micro adjustment - only the on-the-fly adjustment of 4mm

Dream watch right there!

How did you decide the colour? So many options. I’d be leaning to the white or this one for an all year round look.

I regularly wear a blue 5kx and so I was really choosing between this color and the black one. I liked this color a little more because I felt like it looked more refined than the black. At the end of the day I showed the two colors side by side to my wife and she agreed that this one looked better. This is my every day go to so I wasnt interested in the white or green variants

You should consider getting it! I’ve loved mine and it has scratched the itch for an Aqua Tera

Nice

I have this one and it’s excellent. A top watch.

Do you think that curved end aftermarket straps would work with curved spring bars?
