Miyoa 8215 again? Arrggh....pass.

At least put in a 9015 then that can hack and doesnt have stutter. Its only a few bucks more expensive. Or follow BP maker and use a decorated ETA clone for gods sake.

The KW is also available with the rubber strap option, unfortunately they copied the JHF version or got some bad intelligence; the strap adjustment holes should not be round orange rubber circles, they should be connected together in a rubber soap bar.
Compare:

vs. Gen :

(shown on Titanium so wrong color, but the straps are identical otherwise)

I really want this watch but JMHO it still needs finesse.
1.) Glossy dial
2.) Correct the strap
3.) Is it 43.5mm? PT says 42, Kuvarsit says 44, I'm pretty sure TT listed an off size also...

[MENTION=41981]ShiroTenshi[/MENTION], just happen to saw your post while searching. What's your opinion on this? I know the old CrPO from Noob/KW is of different model. Debating between the old and this new. I also noticed Omega reps rarely have new versions unlike other brands lol.

It's a quality watch, not very accurate but a quality rep nevertheless.

Your miyota is spoilt. Time to put in a new one!

It's a brand new watch so nope, not going to replace a new movement with a new movement. It'll be the same.

it may be brand new, but 12hrs is definitely a faulty movement mate. A new non faulty movement won't be the same and should give around 40hrs of reserve.
