These are quite nice! I think the Tropic is cool. The movements are not that special to look at so perhaps having a solid caseback and save some height would have worked, although the current height is not bad.

I've been seriously considering this one on a bracelet for a few days and still haven't made up my mind. About 50-50. Anybody have any feedback on the brand.....good, bad, or indifferent?
