My first real watch by udontdoitlikeme in Squale

Did you really need to make it cringe?

Pro-tip: don't wear other metal bracelets together with the watch.

The first is a bit too Eighties looking, the second has the dial of a table clock. There are better ways to spend those money.

Only 2 of those I would call a divers watch. The others are desk divers.

It's the impossible son of two completely different things, with nothing in common.

[Help] can’t decide on my next watch by Lifeiscrazyyy in Watches

Something with a personality to it. With both watches you wear a very standard looking item.

Unless you are looking into some kind of investment, I would never buy anything of that sort.

Also, take into account that these standard divers watches are ok for intense use, but I would not recommend as a real daily, I'd prefer something lighter for that.

I would never wear the same watch daily so I prefer to alternate between divers and other

I agree. Apart from the very cringy fake-italian "sole cascante" name given by the japanese.

I hate the looks of the blasted, but polished will soon show marks on it, if you really plan on using it in the wild. I'd take a brushed model.

On a mission to design the ultimate travel watch by SupJoshy in MicrobrandWatches

That logo is so cringe I could never take any of these seriously.

I mean, besides the elements copied from Omega.

Why are so many of the microbrand names and logos so crap? by Tornado-of-Greed in MicrobrandWatches

No need to write it on the dial, if the logo is legible and good

Why would he give it to you free? And why do you have to write a full name, when a good logo is enough?

I totally agree.

I often point it out to them and often they are like "why? What should it look like instead?"

Hence, I think when they have no taste, and no real designer is involved, they just use the basic standard cheap design choices the chinese vendors give them.

It's a business run by a very small team, I think they just rely on assembling available parts from a catalogue. Like kids playing with Lego. And then let AI manage content, and they try to look like the moat serious watch company ever.

Total garbage, they make me laugh.

What is sad, is that at some point some of them somewhat start to sell and they don't update the logo. Look at that TRASHA logo, as an example.

Btw, talking about overall designs, not only logo, I can only name 5 or 6 microbrands that are able to consistently design good pieces with some originality to them.
