Product Description
A no-frills diver as technically sound as it is easy to read, the Mühle-Glashütte ProMare Go is up for any jaunt through the woods or dip in the ocean—and it won’t look out of place with a collared shirt, either. The movement is an SW 400-1 Mühle Version that will run for 38 hours on a full charge Read More
SeamusmMüele's reputation is built on its approach to watches as technical machines. They started by making guages and scientific instruments. They approach watches like they approach guages: legible, practical, and accurate. This technical approach is appreciated by government, military, divers, pilots, etc. and has led to the development of many standards in technical and mission-specific 'tool-watches' adopted by these groups. Like another German company, Sinn (among others), their external and internal improvements to watches and movements appeal to a large segment of the watch-buying populace (and Germans in general, lol).
The German-watch-buying people (even collectors) celebrate the mechanical achievements on their wrists (or even the military units, specialties, or professions using them) in a seemingly different way than, say, the Swiss-watch crowd. There is definitely a place for them in appreciation and collectordom.
So, names like Mühle, Sinn, Nomos, Länge, Glashütte Original, etc. carry a different 'cachet' than the Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, Jaeger leCoultre, Rolex, etc., etc. Actually, brands like Rolex and Omega are a category unto themselves and you could think of them like Swiss ToolWatches. There are Italian watch lovers. There are fashion brands like Cartier and Hermes. Jewelry watch brands like Chopard. Experimental watch brands. Endless brands in dozens of categories.
I know the question was simple and I'm sorry to write so much but there is a huge enthusiast community, investor-collectors, historians, engineers, and a whole boatload of emotion. The answer(s) are way bigger than the question.
I ramble! Have a great day (and BTW, this watch will keep its value nicely but not as nicely as a Rolex). (I'm not a Rolex guy but my watches have stories...) :)
RayFDunno, a disturbing number of new watches are completely illegible at first glance. If I have to "learn how to read it" then the watch designer has failed. It's just a fancy bracelet at that point.

Looks like they sold out of the blue version.
I like this watch, I just don’t like orange as a colour on watches.
Thing is, it doesn't look like thirteen-hundred bucks. If one is going to spend that much, the least the watch can do, is reciprocate in the looks department. I don't care what it's got under the hood (and in this example, nuth'n special); take the name off the dial, and this could be any of a thousand generic looking watches you might find on Amazon for a tenth the price. Where's the "wow" factor?
I'm not against $1,299 watches, but I'm less than lukewarm on this snoozer.
Still think it wouldn't have hurt to add a few NUMBERS to that dilated-pupil, in-a-coma, blank-stare, dial.
When I look at a watch, I expect it to be looking back at me!
This is called habituation:
"Functionally-speaking, by diminishing the response to an inconsequential stimulus, habituation is thought to free-up cognitive resources to other stimuli that are associated with biologically important events (i.e., punishment/reward). For example, organisms may habituate to repeated sudden loud noises when they learn these have no consequences."
In other words, why would you want to be interested in a watch that you'll never buy? You wouldn't. And so, given time (and the continued decision to refrain from buying), you won't.

This watch ticks a lot of boxes in my list: 42mm case, blue & clean dial, diver, screw down crown, solid brand. Still at $1300 for Sellita sw200 plus 3 watches on pre-order I am on the fence. God damn it! This is a hard one to pass...
(Just to avoid the regular ETA vs Sellita discussion: I have no issues whatsoever with Sellitas - happy owner of couple of them).
It's a good one. But I don't know if I would keep my poker face saying that. She's smart you know. But the solution is there... see post above.

ElkyI don’t have enough watches to get away with it but 'no, I bought it in New Zealand And I have had it for ages' works for all my latest hiking equipment acquisitions.

Anyone else beginning to feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day? Does anyone else feel like they are seeing the same thing, over and over and over again?
