Aragon Bioluminescence Automatic Watch

First the good: the display back is well done, the watch has gained 15 seconds in the three days I've been wearing it, (acceptable at this price point) and the red accents work well with the orange dial I purchased. Now the bad: the plain dial could use something to add panache, (guilloche, perhaps?) the bracelet could be a bit more supple, and the clasp gives me the impression that it will loosen too quickly. I also wish the lume reacted better to light. Now for my biggest complaint: I ordered the 50mm in orange, but I received the 44mm. This is probably because my two choices were 046ORG and 047ORG. I was left to guess which number corresponded with the larger watch. My assumption that the larger number would correspond with the larger watch was wrong, apparently. My options are to complain and go through the hassle of a return, or, realizing that the 44mm is heavier than expected, keep the 44 because the 50 might be too heavy on the wrist. Sigh...the Fox and the Grapes. [image] All told, this watch could easily be a great entry point for someone wanting their first diver. (FYI, I charged the lume with a flashlight before I snapped the photo.)

Update: A few hours later I noticed the oscillating wheel has a much better swing. I reset the watch to the correct time and now, 30 minutes later, it does not seem to have gained any time. Maybe this particular watch needed a day to loosen up.

I just received my Aragon yesterday (6 September 2020), and it seems to be having a few issues. It is running very fast, it has gained 40min over the course of 12.5 hours. The oscillating wheel also appears to have a short swing, somewhere around 90 degrees. I suspect these watches shouldn't need a service when they're brand new. Is anyone else having issues?
