Hi guys, just curious on the lack of interest for this brand (Mido), as I can't even find an owners tered here.
I read that its Swiss and affiliated with Swatch, but is it actually a brand that enthusiast would stay clear for some reason or another (bad quality, etc)?
From their website its Swiss made and prices seems to be quite affordable for a Swiss but is there hidden catch behind it or something.

nothing wrong with mido watches, just another swiss watch brand under the swatch corp umbrella. people just prefer to buy other stuff at that price point,

Personally not really feeling it, i would prefer other baroncelli over this skeleton design 1) https://www.midowatches.com/my/baroncelli-s...4071101001.html2) https://www.midowatches.com/my/baroncelli-h...71101000.html2) the second watch seems not bad. a bit Bauhaus design speaking of Bauhaus, want to check out Junghans watch? a proper bauhaus design.

Ohh thanks for ur reckon, but I am looking for skeleton type design, want a watch to show off but within affordable range. Haha. Was considering the Baroncelli vs Hamilton's Classic skeleton. A slight cheaper option is Jazzmaster. For Hammie there are plenty of fans on their tered but Mido is very lacking which doesnt give me confidence to their brand despite the Swiss origin. Should I go for a Mido or Hammie?

I would go for Hammy, the dail looks more interesting then the mido, and also using the same movement with the Mido, go for this? https://www.hamiltonwatch.com/en-my/h406557...leton-auto.htmlbut OMG u need 5 second find out the watch pointing what time XDD

Or maybe the Jazzmaster Viewmatic? More practical but dang all those clockwork gets hidden too much for my liking.

Would the bigger size make a huge difference?

Would the bigger size make a huge difference? The face so much similarity to each other,maybe because both are under same Swatch group. 42mm dress watch dayum huge wor , i have this presage is 40.5mm as a example it looks big on my big fat wrist i have😂
