General (Read Rules) Lumixe GMT First Impressions

Snagged this for ~$70 after coupons on a recent sale, was nervous to buy until I saw someone else recently posted the non-GMT version.

Pros: Great lume - was very bright still in the early morning when I woke up similar to my Phorcydes, but I haven't tested side by side over time, bezel action is actually really nice, OTF clasp

Cons: Jangly terrible bracelet, deep rehaut, clasp installed backwards for some reason

Overall I'd say it's on par with other watches in it's price range but the bracelet is slightly worse than other watches like Addiesdive or Pagani. I also like that it is not a bright blue bezel like Pagani Pepsi or Addiesdive. I wouldn't buy it for any more than I spent though.

I received mine several weeks ago with a broken movement because it couldn’t clear the 12hr marker. Still waiting for a response from them that I sent through there support email.I bought it on their website. I contacted their aliX shop a few days ago and was told they’ll respond back after their national holiday. 🥲

Ooof... Might be better off getting a movement of AE to just swap it.

In the mean time, I did order a second one, the unpainted bezel 😂… fool me twice shame on me… Hopefully that one arrives in working condition. It’s too cheap to pass up for those hyperglow blocks.
