My last SM was the GMT with the Desert Dunes dial, and it's fine, but the clasp has some sharp edges. Considering it was way more expensive than the rest of the SMs I own, you wouldn't expect it to have lower finishing. I ordered this exact one black and rubber at a huge discount... let's hope it is of the good ones. I can't wait for it to arrive! I've been binge-watching all the videos about it. 😅

@EscapeWheel watchdives releasing a v2 on wd16570? I hope they correct the so slim bezel.This is the reason I prefer the Parnis version more.The slim bezel of the Gen and wd16570 is not for me.The Parnis looks to me more balanced bezel:dial ratio

Thanks for the review, that's a bit disappointing for such company that is in the microbrands industry for a while... Especially for the retail price. As the additional negative (at least for me) I'd add the date window frame, which is too bold comparing to indexes. It doesn't look too good IMHO.

I have the same movement in my Sugess automatic chronograph. It is having issues, runs fine sometimes, and then other times it stops whenever. I question it reliability. Same as my Sugess day date, quick changes at 7:10ish! No more of this Peacock. The more complicated, the easier it is to break. Great review as always.

@just-dl

I’m a little surprised. The components all seem good. Dial, hands, movement, crystal, water resistance. I’m surprised you judged it so harshly on lume and bracelet. Personally, I prefer two-color lume, so that criticism fell on deaf ears. (I like the contrast…more readable.) I definitely agree that the application of the lume is lacking but I’d call it sub par, not horrible. Bracelets are often the weak link (pun intended). I’ve seen a lot of reviews that conclude the watch is great just dump the bracelet for something better. And that clasp not clasping is, I agree, inexcusable. I think your best argument against this model is a better made spinnaker. That’s compelling. And begs the question why cut those corners. I recently picked up a Kamasu which I love. As you were going through this review, I was comparing your comments to it. I think it compares favorably to this and other watches. (The bezel is crazy stiff and the lume is short-lived and monochrome.) I’d be curious of your opinion if you have hands on experience with it. Good stuff. I like learning new things and I’ll be a bit more analytical about the bracelets and especially the clasps.
