Hmm that _is_ nice! I have the SBGN005 and my only issue with the bracelet is the lack of micro adjust to cater for swelling wrists - in every other respect the build and finish is excellent. Yes the clasp is small and simple compared to the large milled examples we've become used to on other sports watches, but in use it is dead simple and gives a clean unobtrusive look to the bracelet which is probably more in keeping with the GS / Japanese philosophy.

GS fan here, but in those pics the Longines just looks better, I think. GS stock photos are terrible though, so the only way to be sure is to try them in person. I also feel that that GS dial is rather uninspired relative to their usual work, but again maybe in real life it is more bewitching :)
commented onSomeone is gifting you one of these two watches (see picture). Which one would you pick and why? (It cant be because you already own the other one)·
I am pro Tudor, but the chrono has never done anything for me. The Tag just looks better, I think.
commented onQuestion for EU people who bought Erebus watches·
My understanding is that, because the item is coming from outside the Single Market the transaction is subject to the specific rules and taxes of the destination country itself, Latvia in this case. In other words, the transaction is considered to be between two specific countries. So best check your local rules.

ID Guy is good, esp with his industrial design insights. Britt is fun, entertaining but can get a bit samey. Random Watch Dude is quite entertaining (small channel). An interesting one, also still very small, is, if I remember the name, "My Watch Journey". He's a economist and brings a very interesting (to me) dimension to how the market forces really work, explaining why watch companies make certain decisions etc
There's the Speedy Pro, which seems to be the one you're talking about, and then a metric boat load of non-Pro (Speedy Amateur? 😅) which cover all kinds of bases in terms of colour, finishes, styles, sizes etc. But the Pro is what it is and will likely never undergo any drastic styling changes, so if it's not your bag it probably never will be 🙂
