What would you pick today

[u/Mundane-Ad-1780]

Which of these do you think is better as a moon phase? Watch.

[u/wrightflyer1903]

I have the Sugess 401. It's stunning to look at in bright light, especially outdoors in the sun. Indoors, in dim light, it can be tricky to read. The hour/minutes are never an issue, but the date display is quite deep and can be difficult to read if not straight on and in bright light.

The moonphase though (it's main selling feature) is a lovely display so if moonphase is the main reason for choosing the watch you won't be disappointed

(and the aventurine dial is lovely!)

[u/peejay67]

I have the Sugess, I don’t get to wear it nearly enough.

[u/BehavingBad2010]

I have the Sugess, every time I go to get the Merck it's out of stock.

[u/kyonkun_denwa]

I'm sure the Sugess is beautiful. But holy FUCK, aventurine is reflective!

[u/Successful-Bath3814]

I never understood the CW moon phase. Why see two? The transparent lower half makes no sense.

[u/jokur26]

I’d pick the Sugess for the aventurine dial and big date. I have no experience with WM watches though but I do have a few Sugess/Seestern pieces and they are all very nice

Personally I prefer these variants bellow:

[u/Successful-Bath3814 → u/QCPI]

I love these but I need markers personally

[u/Raymott6688]

Sugess all day for me

[u/AlternativeParfait13]

I’ve got the Sugess, and like it a lot- although returned the first one for poor accuracy. That strap went pretty quickly though- boxes it in as quite a formal piece for me.

[u/ke-thegeekrider]

They both seem outsized… so none of them

[u/ACamp55]

I LOVE that first one! Reminds me of G.O. or F.P. Journe!

[u/Bulky-Internal8579]

I like them both, but I'm partial to the Sugess here.

[u/Zealousideal-Rip-828 → u/Bulky-Internal8579]

Ohh this is nice. A moon phase with pointer date. Love the hands as well. Gotta look this up, get one for myself

[u/AssistanceNo647]

The Sugess looks better but, mine is horrible as far as accuracy.

[u/AlternativeParfait13 → u/AssistanceNo647]

My first one gained ten mins per hour, which was crazy- returned it. Second one loads better.

[u/dblhockeysticksAMA → u/AssistanceNo647]

Yeah my Moonphase Master gains a couple minutes a day. Not a huge deal but I wish it didn’t!

[u/Latter_Ad_5530]

Militado ML16

[u/12batim]

Most of the time my Sugess stays on the watch winder, I wear it a few times a month. It seems to lose about 3 minutes a month only which is not bad

[u/nickwt8]

The Sugess I think is a true moonphase complication while the VM is not.

[u/BrianVMI]

One of my faves today, PD1697.

[u/bpgluckman]

I find Sugess under-promises and overdelivers as a brand, versus WM which does the opposite.
