I think this is a nice looking watch. It looks like a re-branded Android watch. It seems pretty expensive for what it is.

Ok guys.....here's the story. Got the watch....had it with me for less than 5 hours and it was back on it's way from where it came. Reason.....the wife didn't approve of it. According to her...it was a nice watch....but somehow just didn't suit me. Sad as I was....my options were....keep the watch and sleep on the couch or return it an live to fight another day.

Managed to take some quick pics from my phone (quality sucks):

That will grab some attention. Nice Gen for under 900.

NOOOOOOOO..........the watch looks sooooo good on you.
at least you had it for 5 hours, hehehe.

Do you mind if i asked where did you get it from?

 

[samurai jack]

Mate....I feel the pain of returning the watch as well.....I'd rather have my wife be good to me for having me return the watch than take her head-on

You can get these on steinhartwatches.com. Look for Gunter. Cheers

 

[lan61t]

I share your pain. i would keep it at the office :twisted: hehehehe

thanks for the info mate did you contact him directly?

now i cant stop thinking about this watch....arggg....the agony.....

 

[samurai jack]

Yes mate...you can send Gunter a mail/call him (would advice you talk to him). Let me know what price he offers to you.

Cheers

That was one nice watch, a lot of wrist presence, sorry to hear that you had to let it go. I would have probably hid it in the car and put it on after i left the house.

no way mate....the wife would've smelled it from a mile away..... the only upside is that she won't crib over the next 5 reps that I get. :twisted:

I have to say I agree with your wife. I thought it was a beautiful watch but it looked kind of weird when I saw the wrist shot. I don't believe I would wear it. JMHO
