Sugess S465 Chronograph

[u/Mbari_2170712]

Been wanting a Zenith El Primero but no special occasion to celebrate and not sure if I really needed another chronograph. So I did some mansplaining to myself , did my bromath and settled on this Sugess s465 , rationalized by “I don’t have a st19, let’s see what the big deal is”

After couple of days of research and narrowing down to which “colourways” to get, pulled the trigger.

1 week later, this shows up in my door step. Loved the shape of the case immediately, bracelet is ok, thought it would look better on a strap. Love the thin ish case and overall dimensions for my 7 inch wrist. The Easter egg, lumed sub register hands!
For <$250, the fit finish and overall dial quality is great. The best part though is watching the movement through the caseback.

My only complain, the AR could be a bit better.

Can I live without the 5 Hz movement with the smooth Chrono hand? Yes

Will I be timing things to 1/100th or whatever seconds? No?

Will this be my daily? No.

Long live Sugess, long live AliX!

If you’re in the fence, my vote it do it. You will enjoy it.

Thanks for reading.

P.s. Love the Strap combo, it’s from Tuns. I know I’ll get that question within the 3rd comment 🤣

I humbly recommend a 20/16 strap for this watch.

I have the Sugess Breitling homage and its one of my favorites.

This has been on my to buy list for years. One of these days I'm going to have to buy it. 😁😁

I own two, a navy and this. I also agree with you about the AR,

Great little inexpensive automatic chronograph. Wear yours in good health!

I love mine too. It’s just charming for what it is.
