I used to think the same, and waited for the 35mm version to change my mind.
While the smaller case felt nice, the bad alignment on the Quartz version (which is also an issue on the Tissot I have in my collection) put me off.
However, the new blue leather strap felt great and helped a lot with the general looks of the watch on my wrist, and I’m now seriously reconsidering it as a next watch.
