The dial aesthetics are down to your personal preference. Personally, I’d say I prefer that MTS-100L, though not by much, both are very handsome watches. Obviously, that watch also has the sapphire crystal, which will inherently give you better scratch resistance than the mineral found in this watch. However, this watch has a better strap, or bracelet in this case. The case finishing is sharper and better too and the extra water resistance could certainly come in handy if you’re after a do-it all watch.

That ‘Sapphire’ one is more suited to dressy environments, whilst I think this could probably be dressed up or down more easily to suit different occasions. I really like both watches but this is probably my favourite and the smaller sizing option is the clincher for me.Our nominated carrier is Parcel Force. Deliveries are made Monday – Friday between 9.00am – 6.00pm (excluding Bank Holidays). Perfect for swimming and snorkelling: the watch is water resistant to 10 bar according to ISO 22810. Most definitely interested to hear how that goes. Yours does look good on the original bracelet though, I just can’t get a good fit with it. The end links are male so it sits well because of the small watch size but would have been better with female end links

The hollow end links are not quite the right shape and overhang the lug tip by about a millimetre. This is not really noticeable on wrist but can be seen from the side. The little bits that hold the spring bar in place in the end link don’t allow the link to fit into the lug holes so I had to bend them slightly to get it to fit. This sounds worse than it was and it wasn’t difficult. There is a very slight gap of less than a mm between end link and the watch case it is tiny but there. The daily alarm reminds you of events that recur every day, by emitting an audible signal at the set time. This model has three independent alarms that can be used flexibly to remind you of important appointments. The bracelet itself is solid and looks good. It is five link and actually has five separate pieces. The finish is mostly satin brushed with two two small links being polished. There are a few almost sharp edges at the sides of the links it does not affect comfort on the wrist. This watch has made me realize the pleasure in a 3 hander sports watch, no GMT hand, not tachometer, no chronograph, no dive bezel, just the things I need (the date is essential for me as I generally know the day but not the date) The clasp is a double pusher with fold over clip. The hold of the clasp is good but it is a cheap pressed clasp with a fairly big gap between the links of the bracelet and the top of the clasp. It has 3 micro adjust holes. I have removed 4 links and put it on the smallest micro adjust to fit my 6.5 inch wrist. There are no more links to remove so this is the smallest wrist size it will fit. The bracelet is adjusted with push pinsTechnical amendments and errors excepted. The sizes in figures do not correspond to the original sizes.
