The Eterna Day Date quartz watch is minimally styled and easy to wear. At just 9 millimeters thick and 40 millimeters wide, it bears no burden on the wrist Read More
TwokiddadDidnt realize that. All of your comments look like your picking a fight including the one to me. Relax and find something better to spend your energy on man.
I'm not knocking their movements, but from a style/desirability perspective, these watches are hard to get excited about.
On the other hand, if you're in the witness protection program and your DOJ handlers have told to keep a very low profile (especially if you want to celebrate your next birthday), these watches could save your life
It's sad to see my favorite watch brand go so low with these quartz watches having Ronda movements. I understand they don't have access anymore to ETA technology, but making the brand return to business only to release these types of low-cost watches is a shame. Soon nobody will see the prices justified for the Super/Royal Kontiki lines.. maybe they should put more emphasis on advertising their new invention, the spherodrive technology.
Sadly your're correct. Since I'm a jeweler I have friends that do watch repair. Try finding an ETA that fits the watch you want to keep and replace the movement. It is an easy process. So if they try to give you that line" well this will be a lot of work". Go find another watch maker. Hint find a watchmaker school and give them your business.
ralaciRonda makes all kind of movements including full metal, gold plated, multi-stone, perfectly serviceable movements.
They do make a lot of more cheaper plastic movements, though. Just like ETA.
I have two chronometers with full metal quartz Ronda movements that 10 years old and they work perfectly. I only did change the batteries twice in 9 years. I know that if the movement fails (wich is unlikely with quartz) I have no plans to repair it anyway - it is cheaper to replace the whole movement altogether.
BTW and FWIW and FYI, I have two quartz watches with full plastic Japan made movements that are 30 years old. Both still work like they were made yesterday.
