·Hi everyone.
I’m just getting into this crazy world of watches (I was on a custom knife kick for a while). I had tried a smart watch in the past but hated it, maybe it was just the being connected. I bought a carbon G Shock Mudmaster after spending a couple weeks in Grand Teton and Glacier. I liked being disconnected from the world, but wanted a watch to take a beating. After getting it I realized I liked wearing a watch and now here I am.
I never got myself anything nice after my military retirement so I decided this would be perfect. My Mudmaster for my outdoor stuff and an Omega for nicer events and everyday wear.
So with that long diatribe, I am of course looking at the Hesalite Moonwatch. But in my research I also ran across the 38. To my uninitiated eye, they look very similar.
I know the 38 is 4mm smaller than the Moonwatch. It is also an automatic and has sapphire crystal.
Other than that, for the 1300 difference in price, what do I get with the Moonwatch for that price difference? Or is it just the historical designation of being the first watch on the moon and being mechanical?
And since I wouldn’t be wearing it every day since I don’t always leave my place, would a mechanical or auto be better?
Thanks for indulging the questions
