User opinions and reviews

The watch now is 10 years old just like the iPhone 6

I wouldn't mind a 1st gen. Although I'm surprised by how much it's depreciated over 4 years.

Bought this model with the midnight blue modern buckle for € 210. I personally think it was a great deal, waiting for it to be shipped.
