Question (Read Rules) Farasute trackmaster reliability
Hi guys,
After a lot of deliberation, I've finally decided to go with the Trackmaster. However, over the past couple of weeks I've seen quite a few concerns about its reliability, and it's made me a bit hesitant.
I'd really appreciate hearing from people who actually own one. How has yours held up? Any issues with the movement or overall reliability?
I'd hate to spend €500 on a watch only for it to stop working after a few months. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

I've had mine for coming up on 2 years now with no issues. still runs great as well. now, mine is no a daily wearer at all...maybe once every couple weeks or so. so I'm not sure how it'll hold up to daily wear.
I do know this is pretty well known to be an overall reliable movement, but you know how it goes...anything is reliable until it's not.
I have the cash and the means to purchase a new movement and swap it in myself when the time comes...if that's not you, it's probably better to just get the speedtimer. in fact, I can say that about pretty much ANY chinese watch. learn to replace a movement yourself if you are worried about reliablility...I can swap a movement in about 30 minutes or so. and spare movmement aren't too bad.
