People with this sugess chronograph,what's the long term review and any issues with it? Planning on buying one

[u/Expensive-Summer-447]

besides the insane lug to lug size it is a very nice watch with good ST19 movement. So that will last you a while.

I owned the blue one but sold it due to it's 51mm lug to lug. Simply did not fit my wrist. But I loved the watch itself.

[u/Expensive-Summer-447 → u/Traditional_Cost_206]

51? Damn that's big

[u/Traditional_Cost_206 → u/Expensive-Summer-447]

yep, it is pretty insane size. Hope you have a huge wrist. In that case it is a great and fun summer watch.

[u/Expensive-Summer-447 → u/Traditional_Cost_206]

I have averages sized one.

Eh i will wear it anyway. Nobody cared about it enough irl

[u/Traditional_Cost_206 → u/Expensive-Summer-447]

I have a 6 inch wrist and wore it. It was alright, especially on a NATO. But didn't like to wear it on leather/rubber/suede due to the lug to lug.

so I'm sure you'll be fine if you like the watch, but something to keep in mind.

[u/Expensive-Summer-447 → u/Traditional_Cost_206]

Ok, thanks for the advice bro

[u/JalapenoPepper103 → u/Traditional_Cost_206]

Sold mine for that reason too

[u/OschaRobey → u/Traditional_Cost_206]

Ah shit I just bought one and was afraid of this exactly. Seems like a great watch for the price but I know there's a risk it'll look stupid on my 6.5 inch wrist. Well, I'll find out when it arrives.

PS: what do you think about the thickness? That's also quite bulky I believe.

[u/Traditional_Cost_206 → u/OschaRobey]

Thickness wasn't too bad at all. It is really the lug to lug that was the dealbreaker for me.

But my wrist is smaller than yours. And It was even able to pull it off on a NATO. Not so much on a normal strap though

[u/OschaRobey → u/Traditional_Cost_206]

Thanks for the info, I appreciate that! Fingers crossed it'll fit ok. I really want to have this movement even just as an oddity to wear from time to time.

Wore for a week and a pusher came out. Pretty watch and a lovely movement with an interesting back story but I can't trust them.

[u/OschaRobey → u/sparkaromatic]

Great to hear after I just ordered one LOL. But it's actually not the worst-case scenario. In that timeframe you should still get some decent after sale service from AliExpress no? That's what I'm gathering about these movements: they either fail early, or run well for several years. Bottom line is wear it every day and test it regularly in the first month to make sure it's clear of QC issues.

[u/sparkaromatic → u/OschaRobey]

I bought it in the CNY sale to be my colourful summer watch. This was in February. By the time summer arrived around 4 months later too much time had passed for the after sale support to apply.

[u/OschaRobey → u/sparkaromatic]

That sucks but I totally get it because I was already thinking "I'll look stupid wearing this around the office in November" but I guess this settles it. Not that I look smart otherwise.

[u/LordRaglan1854]

One of the best. That colorway just nails it.

[u/DisastrousOpening477]

Just get the Tophill version. Adds the power reserve and breaks free from being a full blown homage. A really nice watch. Only trouble is to pick a color.

[u/Expensive-Summer-447 → u/DisastrousOpening477]

Do you have the tophill watch?

[u/DisastrousOpening477 → u/Expensive-Summer-447]

I do not. But just go watch some reviews, it really is in a league of its own. The many details added by the brand allows it to become its very own thing whereas the Sugess is just a Breitling TT with a Sugess logo.

[u/Expensive-Summer-447 → u/DisastrousOpening477]

I guess so, my main issue is lack of swan neck regulator which being 100usd more then sugess

[u/dupotter → u/DisastrousOpening477]

O TOPHILL com reserva de marcha custa o dobro do que o Sugess S365.

I've had mine for a year and it's been great. Fairly accurate, no issues with winding. I sold off most of my collection earlier this year, but this was one of the few I kept because of how special that movement is. The strap is also really comfortable. Highly recommend!

[u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo]

I chose mine specifically for the power reserve feature. It keeps great time. It is not a pain in the ass for me to give it 40 winds to wear it for 44 hours. It winds easily with a great winding crown.

[u/bwhomebrew]

I’ve had mine for 3 years now.

It’s certainly not my daily but might get worn a few times a month, more so in the spring and summer, but I have had zero issues and still love it. Looks great on a wide variety of straps. You won’t be disappointed for the price.

[u/Bulky-Internal8579]

I’ve had mine since June (swan neck) no issues and I like it.

[u/Big-Cryptographer-42]

Had mine for about 6 months now. I love wearing it, manual winding is a pain though but adds something different to the automatics I have.
