I have one and love it. I ended up getting the Stainless/Black model and an extra Brown/Stainless strap for it.
Stainless/Brown is my daily wear.
I just got one. absolutely love it. people jocking on it all the time.
Which colour did you get? I'm looking at the Rose gold but I'm afraid the colour might look different in real life. Also $280 in USD converts $390 in AUD. The Australian dollar is currently pretty bad.
Strangely enough, I owned one until last night when someone stole it from me on a CunninLynguists concert. Loved the watch. Could not recommend it enough. When I bought it a year ago it came with a leather straps that made orange marks on your skin, but they changed their manufacturer and are much better now.
Buy it, you'll love it.
Oh that's terrible! I wish I could buy one for both of us. Yeah I heard they switched from the Spanish straps to a German manufacturer which must be better quality. Also, what version of the watch did you own?
INSTRMNT 01-C BS/B AKA The silver one.
I don't own one, but I like them. Here are some I found while I was on the hunt for a minimal watch.
