You can't review a watch.
Not even the long-term reviews can do justice to any watch. Exceptions might exist, but we're always talking about the rules here or else we risk dragging an already long conversation into an Epic.
Listen, how you feel about a watch, is up to you, nobody else can tell you how you will feel once you get to experience the watch or how it will affect you and your wallet. They can only share their experiences. Said experiences will be subjective and 100% of the time (no exceptions to the rule here) plagued by an impossible to avoid bias. How many times has a design grown on you overtime? How many times did you think "Hey, this doesn't look as bad as I remember" and how many times do those YouTubers come back with "I was wrong about X!" As an apology to not only themselves, but to theri supposed fans or people interested in doing any research at all before spending hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands on a watch, a product that's impossible to review?
So what does that even mean "I was wrong about X!"? The damage has been done now.
Sometimes, it even takes Years to notice a flaw in your daily watch, a flaw in the dial that was hiding in plain sight, a flaw that makes you question if it was there when you bought it or if it happened during uour endeavors. My main focus on this post will be the things that you notice about your watch after prolonged wear. Like any other product that we pay a lot of time with, the way you look at it objectively at first as an, well, object- slowly changes and takes shape into something with character. But this Character is only visible through your own eyes. Nobody can understand the connection between you and your Car, between you and your Cat, you and your Gun, and of course, your watch.
