Day 4 of Micro brand week with the Halios Fairwind
Back with a Halios today. This was my first ever Halios, been trying for ages to get a bronze seaforth but was always late during the signups. Was lucky enough to be able to get this Fairwind during sign up.
Love the clean design and orange tipped minute hand. Really surprised and happy about the bracelet and the micro adjustments via the button on the clasp

Diverse collection of watches that have caught my fancy. My watch journey started when I purchased my Planet Ocean, I've not gotten out of the rabbit hole since then

How did you pick up the “patina” on the clasp in 4 days?
That’s a cool watch 👌🏻🤩👍🏻
Love my Fairwind, though haven’t worn it since getting my FXD.
Having said that, I think the clasp is a fail. It’s too long and thick (especially thickness) for a smaller sports watch that Jason was going for. Also the microadjust kept engaging whenever I’m working on my laptop since my wrists and hence clasp is pressed on the table.
Awesome that they went for some different dial markers from everyone else. Nice watch!

I've had this watch for 3 years now, it's been with me to the beach, on hikes, at work hence the dings and scratches on the clasp 😅

Haven't had the microadjust engage on me yet while working, that said, I feel the clasp's edges are a bit too sharp, I sometimes get scratched by it
Love my FXD as well!

Thanks!
Nice! So far I’ve missed out on the Fairwind. Looking forward to the (eventual) gen2 release.

That explains it. For some reason I thought it was new.
