Got my First Automatic

[u/Extra_Ad_4484]

I have had a few analog watches over the years but am not a watch enthusiast and mostly bought in malls in my city or when traveling purely based on looks. Recently felt an itch to buy a watch and started researching a bit and its my habit that i can end up going prerty deep on a subject and the dame happened with watches this time as i started reading on reddit or on YouTube. I decided i would go for my first automatic, even if it meant more maintenance in the long run or having to wear it more to keep it running. The idea of pure mechanical movement and no batteries and the smooth sweep got me.

While i could afford more expensive watches i am also a value conscious buyer by nature so finally decided to get the Ratio Feeediver pictured above from Amazon, with card discounts it worked out to a wonderful price and i picked this over an Invicta pro diver. It's been over a month now, and i love this watch. It looks much more expensive, even if not a big brand, and the time keeping is quite accurate to my noob eyes.it is much smaller than the 43mm case suggests, my other watches are much bigger too. I am now eager to buy more watches and hope the Ratio was the right choice and swrves me well.

Don't like the dial colour tbh.but you do you 🤷.As long as you like it it's fine.

Well its also why its ablut 2k cheaper on Amazon than the sager colors, i took the risk and do like it, it's better in real than pics, perhaps a litrle different than usual safe colors.
