they're OK. Just don't pay full retail, or anywhere close.

They make nice looking watches! Never tried on one before, I don't like big watches.

not for me
I think these watches are trying too hard to make a statement. One of the reasons I flipped my Bell&Ross BR-01 a few years back.

They are simply too big for my 7 1/2" wrist. Cheers, Bill P.

They caught my attention in Vegas earlier this year. Tried one on and felt it was way too big. I also had a meeting with a guy wearing one and it looked terribly odd sitting over his shirt and suit cuff.

Have read more about them since and don't recall anyone saying anything great about them. Some seem to like them as a 'fun' watch, but not much more. Price seems high for a 'fun' watch too.
