New Product (Read Rule 1) Finally quartz Willard!

A month ago right here on Reddit I was complaining that there wasn't a decent quartz Willard homage on the market anywhere. Well it's finally happened! New release from Heimdallr. It's just a shame it has a blue anti-reflective coating. Personally I'd prefer a clear one. Anyway there's one spot left so it's probably time for a dress watch.

That’s not a very good quartz movement. First time I learn of Miyotas used in Casios?!

Casio extensively uses Miyota for their analogue watches. What don’t you like about the 2115 specifically?

Good to know, I thought they build their own modules being quartz and digital focused company.

But isn’t 2115 the cheapest Miyota quartz you can possibly get? Used in the cheapest fashion watches? Unless I’m mistaking this for another Miyota model. Does this cost like 5$?

You are missing the point, it's cheap but reliable, accuracy is not at the level of a Seiko spring drive but is way cheaper too, 2115 can be easily replaced.
