Nice watch. But tell Massdrop to state the 'weight' of the watch in the specs. The weight of a watch is very important. I collect watches, and I found after much experience that any watch weighing more than 140gms is simply too heavy!
Therefore if Massdrop doesn't bother to list the weight in the specs, I won't buy. If they list the weight, I'm more likely to buy these watches.
And tell the Mercer watch company that an automatic movement with 80 hours reserve is much better, and higher vibration-per-minute rating is also better, and 28 jewels is better.
And if they really care about quality, 316L surgical-grade stainless steel is the only way to go.

MbotWeight is a good spec to include.
There are very few movements that have 80 hour power reserves and none at this price point. The cheapest are the modified ETAs in Tissots and Certinas and they accomplish this in part by reducing the vibrations per minute. An 80 hour power reserve with higher vibrations is only contained in much more expensive watches.
More jewels = better movement is simply untrue.

Mbotan 80 hour reserve is a modified ETA movement which would raise the price by at least $100. it also beats at the same rate, so no aesthetic improvement for the $100 more.
