Their style matches mine quite well but I definitely see how some people could not like the idea of a $4k “functional watch” design so to say as at that price there’s a lot of great fashion watches.

It should be more expensive than an Explorer I because it has more complications and it's bigger.

It's a really big watch, and the crown guard makes it even bulkier.

I think it’s mostly just the fact that they’re not very old. When they first started, they didn’t even make their own watches, they just rebranded models from Sinn. Objectively they aren’t bad watches, they just cost a bit much for what they are, and they also kind of skate the stylistic line between “classic watch design” and “fashion watch”.

They should reconsider their marketing strats for their watches. Way too overpriced.

On the back? How else would Bell & Ross know if their watch was running on fumes or if it was ready to race? It's clearly a fuel gauge, not a power reserve indicator. Genius.
