The strap it comes on does it no favours. I discarded it immediately but then about a week ago I gave it a try for a couple of days, just to make sure. It was underwhelming.

Looking good on a green Strap Tailor

Two weeks on and I still love it. Accuracy is spot on to the minute, it hasn't drifted at all.
In answer to a question above, the crystal is a bit more reflective than some watches I've had. Not a problem for me, it's always readable, but worth noting.
It's the 38mm. It seems good timekeeping wise. Haven't tested its daily +/- seconds variation but it's still dead on with the hour and minutes on my phone after a few days, so it seems well within...
If that was on eBay it would be described as "in good used condition, some marks".

It's going to get a lot of strap changes. Looks great on a dark brown Toshi, and on a vintage green canvas. But I quite like it on this no-name rubber strap too, and I will be wearing it hiking, so...
Not having a date was an essential for me, these watches are all about elegant simplicity on the dial I reckon. Hamilton have completely nailed it here, in a way I don't think they ever quite have...
I haven't bought a watch for 10 years, and pruned the collection down to a single watch - a tiny 1930s Eterna - about 5 years ago. That and a Garmin have been my only watches ever since, very...

I like my Longines.
32-36mm is generally about right on my 6.5 inch wrists. I have a few bigger watches, but I always wish they were smaller. Anything over 40mm just looks stupid to me.
As has been said, it seems to me the Bear Pit had become a place where a few individuals could spout completely over the top invective at other posters, and feel they could get away with it. That...
I like simple dial design, and most date windows uglify a watch (apart from big dates a la Lange or GO, those look great). Most of my watches are non-date for that reason.

Yep, that's got it.
I generally dislike Panerais, but I'll make an exception for that one, very smart. Sensible size too, not the usual huge stuff.
Molnija? I like that a lot.
This for me today:

Don't get it. Looks pretty ugly to me.
Very meh, even without the silly BMW branding
If I can't afford to buy it in cash outright, then it's too expensive.
7 and a half years.
Excellent. Beautiful watch, too.
