I had one and they are very too heavy. The bracelets on them are still light and flimsy and pale in comparison to the weight and feel of gen (bracelet specifically). I’m hoping they can actually make the bracelet out of tungsten to balance the weight and use stronger pins to eliminate the flimsy feel. This is a movement in the right direction, but hopeful for an updated bracelet at some point.
GMF batch 1 had a higher quality bracelet vs batch 2. Batch 2 clearly had a new supplier on the bracelet. V1 “kinda” felt GEN. V2 feels REP.

I was thinking about putting my v1 up for sale but might hold on to it now!

How do you know if a watch was Batch/V 1 or 2? Apart from bracelet feel
The case , dial and movement is the same between V1 & V2. They have subcontractors for the bracelet and they feel like different factories. V1 also had some added weight to it. V2 has not.
