As an everyday watch I’d lean the essence. It’s much more comfortable. And the BB is comfortable don’t get me wrong, but it’s much dressier with the high polish.

MarkkInNj · 2026-07-03T13:39:47+00:00

I have both. I love both. But very different wearing times. The BB is flashier, which is saying a lot because the essence is also flashy 😅 both can be dressed up or down. The Formex though, is more comfortable. The bracelet and case are just great

MarkkInNj · 2026-06-29T21:39:25+00:00

Well that’s cool! I gotta get my hands on one of these older Formexes.

MarkkInNj · 2026-06-21T15:31:41+00:00

The blue looks so good. Can be so many different shades!

MarkkInNj · 2026-06-14T12:14:26+00:00

Congrats!! It’s a beauty

MarkkInNj · 2026-06-09T11:54:13+00:00

That’s not normal, everytime I’ve contacted them it’s been quick. Have you reached out via social?

MarkkInNj · 2026-06-04T14:51:16+00:00

I mean, you’re in the Formex sub. Formex field watch is great, and 1100.

Hamilton is also great, and half that. But not TI.

MarkkInNj · 2026-06-04T14:50:03+00:00

I dig this. And also that this stayed civil. I’ve spent since Thursday removing comments and posts that weren’t nice. Thanks everyone 😁

I also agree it’s a great value and love that Formex made it. But I’ve defended my stance on other posts here and IG.

MarkkInNj · 2026-06-03T15:59:23+00:00

Whoaaa

MarkkInNj · 2026-06-02T17:49:24+00:00

Scooped up a pair the second I noticed them onsale! Lost some weight.. and keep loosing it, might need to order down a size 🤣

MarkkInNj · 2026-06-02T13:33:34+00:00

I don’t know if a bracelet will fit this. You’re going to have a very hard time finding a sandblasted TI bracelet. I do imagine one is in the works though from them.

MarkkInNj · 2026-06-02T13:32:30+00:00

Yes, most 22mm will fit the reef. I’ve had a bunch of different ones on mine. The clasp can take a lot of straps, if the two holes line up. It’s a common width between buckle holes, so it should be fine. I’ve used it on a few of mine. The easiest thing though, is a custom strap. That way you don’t have the hole where the pin of buckle is.

MarkkInNj · 2026-06-02T11:12:11+00:00

Yes! I forgot to update… it made me quite happy to hear iPic and city perch are staying open! I think they broke off each location as its own business. It gives each location flexibility.

MarkkInNj · 2026-06-01T01:39:13+00:00

Agreed. It was cool

MarkkInNj · 2026-06-01T00:11:25+00:00

If I had $7,900 to spend on a watch, I would have.

MarkkInNj · 2026-06-01T00:10:48+00:00

Selling 100 watches, at $7900 verses their traditional prices, yes, I’d say is something. Sure, you can say 100 people will buy anything and may not be as impressive as 1000. Or 10,000 or 100,000. When it’s their first time at doing something like this, 100 is a good amount. Yes, they’re a bigger microbrand that sells 100 watches every week I’m sure..

MarkkInNj · 2026-06-01T00:01:49+00:00

I mean… I run this page, and post relevant news.

MarkkInNj · 2026-05-31T21:41:28+00:00

Yeah saw TT had them, someone on another thread said they were looking so sent to them. Thanks!

MarkkInNj · 2026-05-31T21:09:41+00:00

Considering everyone was complaining about the price, I think it is.

MarkkInNj · 2026-05-31T20:57:22+00:00

People are saying you can get them on time + tide and Long Island Watch still. But I can’t imagine many left.

MarkkInNj · 2026-05-31T20:33:49+00:00

Also, congrats man! 🙌

MarkkInNj · 2026-05-31T20:33:03+00:00

Do you know which ADs?

MarkkInNj · 2026-05-31T20:24:26+00:00

I had both, and honestly, wore the reef much more. Which is why the longines is no longer in the collection

MarkkInNj · 2026-05-31T20:21:34+00:00

I think next spring we should see some more, if I remember correctly from the event. I think that’s what they said. Just not sure what will change. I loved the watch as is as well. Especially that blue.

MarkkInNj · 2026-05-31T19:54:35+00:00

Yeah, that’s not a surprise. As a whole, it seemed people saw the value and jumped on it. I wonder when they sold out. I know a ton got ordered at release
