Massdrop traded a heavier stainless steel case for lighter, stronger titanium, a thicker shatterproof glass for a thinner more scratch resistant sapphire crystal, added a day indicator, cleaned up the dial and dropped the price by nearly a third while maintaining the same quality of tritium indicators.
Watch fans love to hate on quartz movements, but they’re reliable, accurate and cheap. I had my cheap Orient mechanical dive watch regulated because I wanted a bit more accuracy and because I’m a moron. It cost around 25% of the total watch price to get it adjusted and took it out of service for more than a week. When this Ronda movement goes tits-up, you can replace the whole movement with a brand new one for about $30. No big deal.
This is not an heirloom watch. You won’t be passing this on to your children. It is, however, a really nice everyday watch for the price. the tritium markers will make it easy to read in the dark. the quartz movement will keep good time. The titanium case will be light on the wrist and considerably thinner than the ArmourLite version...and, because the battery doesn’t have to provide any illumination, you’ll get nearly 4 years of battery life. You’ll also get a unique piece that millions of other guys aren’t wearing. For $250, it seems like a pretty good deal to me if you can wait for at least 6 months....more if MD runs true to form.
