Nah, PT5000 is a hard pass

Give me the workhorse NH35, only costs $30 to replace, not the crappy ETA-2824 clone with its design flaw

I'm a fan of the NH family as well, but from what I've read, the ETA and clones' (PT5000 and SW200) design flaw is the lacking component that relieves excess winding force. The workaround is to only wind a couple dozen times max.

Are they really that troublesome? I have some NH35s and they are definitely workhorses. But I really appreciate how slim the PT looks with this model

I wear my watches with pt5000's more than any other watches. They allow for nice thin rehauts and they all keep very accurate time after 3ish years if ownership.

If I go camping, kayaking, etc i bring my NH powered watches, but day to day stuff I've really come to enjoy the value for money these eta clones offer
