Comment on All upset over something that in the big picture means nothing? Get yourself this watch
percent@infosec.pub 2 days agoPersonally, I’d want better specs for those prices. However, I’m more of a watch nerd than an art/design nerd. I wouldn’t know how to put a price on the art of those designs. Hopefully they’re built well.

What kinds of specs do you look for, as a watch nerd?

So, using this model as an example:
For $300, that’s a bit of a turn-off. I’d prefer a mechanical movement — even a cheap-but-reliable Seiko NH35 movement would do.
There are some nice quartz movements that might be acceptable too, but if they don’t specify which movement it is, then it’s probably not great.
It has a sapphire crystal, which is pretty much expected at that price range (though Seiko is still a bit behind on this), so it seems kinda odd not to specify which movement is in there.
Aside from the specs, I suppose the rest comes down to build/finish quality, which is hard to gauge without seeing it in person.
