    I'm really feeling MeisterSinger's Pangaea Day Date in either white or ivory, but before I pull the trigger, I want to make sure I've looked at all the other options. OF members, what are your other one-handed favorites?

    Of these, I like MeisterSinger best.

    Like one hand watch too. But feeling strange about MeisterSinger's. The finish, mark,... quality or design of their dial don't fit really to the rank price they ask for their products. Personnal feelings of course.

    Slow watch. Not the same rank. Quartz, etc...
    But can interest some people :)
    Not so bad quality, classy minimalist design

    I had a MeisterSinger for a while and liked it a lot. It was a manual wind and worked well.

    I hear Poland is a hotbed of activity for watches with less than the average number of hands. :p

    How could one possibly obsess about this watch being off by 1.06325 mIlliseconds per day > than allowed by the mfg spec?

    Would take all the fun out of owning a watch, no?

    I was mulling recently about MiesterSinger watches. They are recently launched in India. Interesting dial. But after some time I decided to better spend my money on three hands Longines Military watch being launched at Basel 2018 than on a single hand novelty.

    What about the quality is lacking for you?

    @Steve9pm , just my opinion. I never wore one. Just saw some behind the glass (Frankfurt Airport). Knew the brand before I saw it, and was disappointed by the lack of relief of the dial, the brand logo,...
    Except that, I'm sure the steel quality case is good, the movment too,..
    But feeling strange looking at the dial in real.
    That's just my feeling :)

    I'm embarrassed to admit this but I'll share anyway. I read the title and thought you were looking for good watches for a person with one hand. So embarrassing. ::facepalm2::

    As an owner of a Pangaea , it's an alright piece. paid $2k AUD for it. Case is just like any normal case. The hand looks plasticy from outside. ETA movement (2892-A2) i think so it will still double click to pull even though there's no date. I swapped the original meistersinger strap with an aftermarker shark skin. It's a very hard to wear watch

    Tbh use the money for something else. A speedmaster reduced, any of the classic Sinn or even a seiko cocktail time would do you better. lol.
