Help me choose my first watch
Hey reddit, first time watch buyer here, not exactly a hardcore enthusiast.
In search of my first real wristwatch, I grew split by 2 main choices:
\- The MTP-1314 from Casio (the correct option)
\- The Komandirskie K02 with the 24h dial, from Vostok (the fun option)
The latter is significantly more expensive at \~130€ to \~50€ (Im 17), it's entry-point mechanical (with all the innacuracy quirks inherent to it), it's a slightly more "dated" look, and it's unconventional to read.
But it's got that personality. Im personally fond of that late-soviet aesthetic, I LOVE the idea of a 24h dial, and I feel like it would make a great conversation-starter.
The casio is rugged, you put it on, set it and forget about it. It matches virtually any of my outfits.
The split comes from the fact that I know Im not buying many watches. So do I go for the safe, correct option and risk settling in conventionality or do I buy the outlier with personality?
Remember, first time watch buyer. Though I am getting yall's love for this horology business.
