[Discussion] What are your hot takes or opinions you haven't yet posted for fear of downvoting? (alien.top)

In a post from a few days ago, I noticed that someone mentioned that they were afraid to post about their dislike of the Tudor BB58 for fear of downvoting. You know what? The BB is a boring watch that's not worth the money, and Tudor wouldn't be half as popular as it is without the connection to Rolex. If Rolexes were as attainable as they were in past years, cut that by a factor of 10. Would you really buy a BB if the reality were that you could just save a little bit more and get a Rolex Submariner? That's my hot take. What's yours?

Tissot PRX hater 🙋‍♂️

Bro I don't understand why people like the PRX 😭

The design is just revolting to me. I get that it's got good quality and a good movement and such, but most integrated steel sports watches just look terrible to me.

The movement isn’t good. It’s a throwaway with plastic escapement (that does break) and dear god is it ugly. I’ve never liked the look of the 2824, and the C07.111 just makes it worse. It’s accurate when it’s new I guess?

I have one and I love BUT, the lume is pathetic. Might as well NOT if it’s gonna be like that

[–] webswinger666@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Broooo I know right. I thought my watch was defective until I learned the lume is just crap.

I was a hater, and I even didn't like in the store on wrist at first. BUT I gave it a second chance on wrist months later, and it kind of won me over. I still had my reservation, but I decided to give it try with plans to sell it once honeymoon period was over. A year and half later, I hate that I love it and it's part of my permanent collection now.

I think the big hurdle was to see past the integrated watch hype and the idea that PRX is a budget option for that category. Once I started seeing the watch as its own thing without the hype baggage I started to like it much more. It's an automatic sports watch that wears thinner than it should, catches light beautifully, and has the specs to handle daily wear.
