The first 'real' watch I bought was from a Microbrand in 2016. It's an Armida A4: ETA 2836-2, sapphire, BGW9 lume everywhere, including a fully lumed bezel. It's a Chinese-based company, but they were all about their watches actually being used by divers and therefore made as such. So, awesome specs, but a company that community respected (and still do, they just got undercut by other new micro brands), but the watch lack something...something I've not been able to put my hands on, and I've not decided whether there's something that bothers me that's related to the micro-brand-ness of it, or it's the watch. I don't know. That said, I've worn that thing more than any of my watches, and I love it enough to have recently serviced it.
