The Tudor Royal is the PT Cruiser of watches.

It has a distinctive design, it’s affordable, and not many people have it… because it’s ugly as balls.

Instead of fluting the bezel, they decided to scratch a few lines and call it a day.

Also, day complications are the worst. They push the logo down (crowding the dial), hide the 12 o’clock marker, and frankly, unless you’re a retiree, you probably already know what day of the week it is.

Finally, it’s like the case can’t decide between rounded lines and sharp edges. The corners have a ton of wasted space and the design makes it impossible to change straps easily.

The bracelet is nice though I guess…
