I had been eyeing up this watch for quite some time but put off purchasing because it wasn't available to buy without leather. I decided to send an email to the support team to let them know that not having an alternative to purchase might be putting potential customers off and they sorted it straight away for the factory to send it out with one of their mesh straps.
The mesh strap is lovely and sits well comfortably on the wrist but I personally prefer the leather aesthetic so picked up a piñatex strap elsewhere and I love this watch and wear it nearly all the time. People often comment on it and ask how to tell the time and it starts a conversation but more than that it's just a beautiful mesmerising piece at an excellent price.
As far as interesting or different watches in this price range, the only real alternatives are the Mr Jones watches or the project watches and to me this sits in a unique spot as a classy, modern, elegant piece that you can dress up or down to occasion. I can see more Humism watches in my future!
