Halios Universa first look

i'm sure it will sell well and i'm sure it's a well made watch, but i like my tropik and seaforth better. still a nice looking watch, but not really my style.

Odd combo of hour markers and 3, 6, 9 to my eyes. I'm sure someone will like it.

Swing and a miss for me.

Looks sharp Greg, and liking the way the markers really change up
the look overall. ..The fit, and finish looks to be really nice too !

First time seeing these honestly. So thanks very much !

Halios’ Explorer will be as hard to get as the one from Rolex.

They're worlds apart. The new watch doesn't even look like it was designed by the same person.

I really want to like it but something is off with it. I am not sure what. Maybe it is the square block markers combined with the numbers??? Not sure.

The marker size to number size is off. They’re way too large.

In the metal, this watch is actually unbelievably good for its price point.
I like these two new Halios models, too. But I kinda regret not getting a Seaforth, even though I have too many watches.

Jason has done a great job, but I wonder at some point if it would be better to just update/evolve his designs in lieu of needing to continually come up with new designs. This one feels like a slight step backward from the past few releases. Different for different’s sake....

Would like to see him stick with the Seaforth and just continually evolve it, but don’t know if that business model works for Boutique watch companies.
