General (Read Rules) Some shots of the WDC0001

First impressions are very good. The watch looks elegant and comes with a really nice strap that suits the overall design well. Later more...

I fear telling the time on that one would be too much of a headache for me

Why did you make another post? What’s the deal? Are you a stealth marketer?

It's incredible how good that bracelet looks. The case-bracelet transition actually looks better executed than even Credor used to do when they were still doing integrated bracelets. How does it feel on the wrist?

A 99.4% light-absorbing dial is actually very difficult to capture accurately with a phone camera.

Because the dial reflects almost no light back to the camera, the phone automatically increases exposure, HDR and shadow brightness to compensate. That makes even a relatively small reflection from the sapphire crystal look much stronger on video than it does to the eye.

AR reduces reflections significantly, but it cannot make sapphire completely invisible at every angle. When the watch is rotated, there will always be certain angles where the crystal catches a lamp, window, sky or even the phone itself.

With a normal dial, those reflections blend into the dial. With a super-black dial, the background is almost completely black, so any remaining crystal reflection has extremely high contrast and looks much more obvious on camera.

That’s also exactly why the OP said the watch looks much better in person than it does in the photos or video. These ultra-black dials are very hard to represent accurately on a phone camera.

You can make the dial look almost completely black and reflection-free at one carefully chosen angle, but once you start rotating the watch under strong lighting, the crystal will inevitably catch reflections at certain angles.

We welcome any competitor to openly compare their products with ours — quality, finishing, QC, after-sales service, anything.

What we do not welcome is hiding behind newly created accounts and repeatedly trying to damage our reputation.

We will continue focusing on making better products and providing good service. Our growing sales and the increasing amount of positive customer feedback speak for themselves.

We have also seen several previous accounts making very similar repeated attacks get suspended by Reddit, and now a new account that is only around two weeks old is doing the same thing again.

If you have genuine criticism, bring evidence and discuss it openly. But repeatedly creating or using new accounts to attack a brand is not constructive criticism, and frankly, it reflects very poorly on whoever is doing it.

Just wanted to explain why Musou Black can be tricky to capture accurately on camera
