That's a fair point. Definitely get one if you can. Not sure what the availability is going to be like but if it's anything the previous releases, not looking forward to resellers lining up at swatch stores to buy them up and post them for sale in the thousands. 😑

Hamilton gets my vote of the three.

commented on New MoonSwatch + Snoopy 🤩 ·

I actually like design and snoopy touches. This one is the nicest looking moons watch so far. Still alot of money for a plastic (I know bio ceramic) watch.

commented on What would you pick and why? ·

Sharp Edge is the one I would pick, red is also somewhat unique since dials in that colour are not too common. You will love that textured dial and angular case. Not a fan of the PRX personally. Now if the options included a Tissot Gentleman that would be a different story.

commented on Which watch nerd are you? ·

Had all three, tried smart watches (2 Android wear watches received as gifts). Used them like crazy the first two years and never touched them afterwards. No more OS updates and it got annoying charging them everyday along with my phone. I know apple watches are better but then I would have to give up my S23 Ultra which is a big no for me. Now happy with my mechanical and quartz watches. Not going back to smartwatches anymore. I already have enough things destined for e-waste.

That is a nice watch and Frédérique Constant is a solid brand. Tissot Gentleman is an excellent value watch that is very versatile. Works great as a dress watch and for everyday wear. There is also a good choice of colour options (ice blue, dark blue, green, silver, black etc.) For a bit more than the Tissot, there is the Seiko Sharp edged series. Beautiful dials and a very nice angular case. A variety of nice colours too. I own a sharp edge limited edition with purple dial and enjoy the beauty of the piece, however the movement is not as accurate as my Tissot.

The Gentleman is such a standout for me because that line has a very high quality powermatic 80 movement with silicon balance spring and no plastic escapement. My blue Gentleman is such a great daily watch and I might even get the green dial version just to alternate between the two on my non-diver days.

If you are comfortable making a larger jump in price, Longines would be my recommended brand - beautiful dress watches in the master collection. Quality movements too (heavily modified ETA 2982 and other custom movements that are exclusive to Longines due to swatch group ownership), with most of their recent models having silicon balance springs.

Picked Omega because I like the Seamaster 300m and the Planet Ocean, but they also have some nice looking constellation and Globemaster dressier watches. Longines as well has a very diverse set of watches that are very pleasing (love the Zulu Time, Master collection and heritage pieces). Tudor makes top notch, classic diver/sport watches with the Black Bays and Pelagos, but I am not impressed with their dressier watches. Grand Seiko is the opposite, dressier pieces are beautiful, divers/chronographs are too big and not very appealing visually to me.
