Need help with a decision
Gents,
As much as I would love to try and juggle two watch projects at the same time, I don't feel it smart to do and really want to focus on one at a time. Do I launch the Artillerist Field watch or Hemlig Mil Dive watch? I feel divers are more popular and thus could be a bigger attraction to the masses but... there are also tons of micro divers coming out every month it seems and a Field watch would be a bit different.
Thoughts and opinions welcomed.

Re: Need help with a decision
I feel like watches without bezels wear smaller than actual size and the field watch just looks plain Jane to me.
The dive watch looks to be inspired by the Benrus Type I, but I was never a fan of the asymmetrical case. So I'm not a buyer on either, but the Benrus style one looks better to me.

As much as I like Field watches, I almost never wear them. Go with the diver.

I’m not sure why, but the Artillerist does absolutely nothing for me. I dig the Benrus homage, though.

IMO, Hamilton owns the affordable field watch market. I’m not certain your price point on the Artillerist model, but it would have to be very compelling for me to not go with the known brand.
The diver is a bit more unique in the market today. I’d release that one first.

Going to say the Artillerist Field watch Todd. Because it looks fantastic,
and it seems like you really like it too, and enjoy that it is something
a little different sir. But either way, it's a win win because both of
them are great !!

I like the Artillerist better... Not a field watch fan...

I prefer the dive watch, but with the field watch hands (minute and hour). Also the blackout logo plus the white date messes with the balance of the dial. Either keep the black logo and ditch the date or add color to the logo.

Re: Need help with a decision
Thanks guys. I've decided to launch the Hemlig diver first. Hoping to have a prototype to test and show in July.
