Just curious if anyone of you own any Nezumi watches. How are they? Worth the money? Etc

Was eyeing their GMT as I want a GMT and it fits my style and price range.

in general people hope fancy analog watches to be valuable/appreciating/fashionable for a long time. Nezumi basically looks like a generic fancy analog watch with an in-fashion stripe of color added to the face. those colors will be out of fashion in a few years.

for that price range you can get more classic analog fancy watches, that you could rock for decades. all i see on the streets these days are smart watches to be honest.

It’s a typical micro brand. Good value for the price, can’t really complain!

Miyota 9075 which is very decent and any competent watchmaker can service it. 316L and sapphire are to be expected for micro brands at this price. No applied indices or display caseback but again at this price those are harder to find.

Is it worth it? If you love the look, you won’t be getting ripped off with this.

If you’re looking for a forever watch maybe save up for a Tudor Black Bay Pro GMT which this seems inspired by. Buying $700 watches is great until you have four of them, they all need expensive servicing, and you realize you could have just gotten a nice $5k watch for the same total price.

Alternatives: At this price there are tons of mechanical GMT options, Lorier, Seiko, Glycine, etc.
