A delicate little wallflower of a watch--the kind you almost forget you're wearing moments after you fasten the clasp?
Not likely!
To be fair, the watch does come in two sizes: too big, and Much Too Big.
And at only 4.5 ounces shy of a full-pound, that 50mm arm-stretcher may require a little watch-on/watch-off assistance.
I recommend the Ray-co Heft-O-Matic for that little chore!

RayFI don't know this brand I rather put my money on Seiko. I mean Massdrop never tells like how good the lume is so I rather invest in a Lumtec or similar brand

lbaquerizoSeiko is always a safe bet, and there are plenty of them available for less than $555!

lbaquerizoI feel the need to post this every time one of these comes up, so apologies to all who already know. Wing Liang is the founder/owner, and the dude is a watch guy. Former name of the company was Android watches. Google released their android watch, wing sued, and he forced google to settle. He’s been making watches since the early 90s I believe.
Almost all his watches are either 44/5 or 50mm. For the videos I’ve seen, they appear to wear Seiko-like. That said, these are certainly not for the slender wristed. On the quality/construction/lume side of things, they seem to do quite well.

RayFI think it was the divemasters that were on offer previously. Same case size, different movements and dial.

WatchyoutalkingaboutInteresting... I have an Android quartz diver I picked up super-cheap (around $30 IIRC) a few years ago. It's okay, nothing spectacular. Definitely big and heavy.

oppylandThose were a great deal when they were being blown out at $30. I recommend them to a couple of non watch guys who were just getting into watches and wanted to try out a diver style. They were happy with the purchase and still wear them. One got the blue and the other the purple.

oppylandI think that Wing at Aragon recently bought out the Android Watch Company as they could no longer trade using the Android brand name for legal reasons.

ThePhantom008Wing was Android watches before Google started using it. It was a registered trademark and he sued. Here is a six year old article about it: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2031733/android-watchmaker-oko-sues-google-for-trademark-infringement.html
While I did not search further, gossip I heard around the net suggested it was financially advantageous for Wing to let the trademark go to Google.
