My new watch - Frederique Constant Highlife 39mm
Hi everyone, I am happy to share with you my new watch purchase - Frederique Constant Highlife 39mm. If I am not mistaken, it's a limited edition for a French market, though it's not limited in quantity.
I've been wearing this watch for 3 weeks now and the only 2 downsides that I can point out is a short power reserve of 38 hours and weak lume.
Otherwise it's a great watch that I think looks beautiful and wears comfortably. All in all, I haven't had a second of regret and I am 100% satisfied with the purchase (as for the price, I purchased it below retail, for 1820$ on Chrono).

What’s your wrist size? I was tempted to pick up the highlife, but reviewers mentioned it wears large due to the bracelet extending the lug to lug.
These are great

I have 15.8-16cm wrist, pretty small but 39mm wears perfect. Here's the picture that I shot with an x3 zoom lens on my phone - the detail is poor but the perspective is close to what I see with my own eyes. Regular lenses tend to distort the objects in frame and make watches look bigger.
I love FC, the brand, value and case finishing. your watch can be a GADA watch
Also wearing my Highlife today! FC seems to have a lot of special releases for the French market, some of which are pretty cool. It must be an important location for them. If you ever write a review I would love to hear more about how it compares to the full size version.
Something you don't see often!
Beautiful! Had this one on wrist but with a slightly bigger wrist (17cm) I’m in doubt of the size.

I think you still should get 39!)
I want to buy the blue one, any update?
