Default Mid-Priced Smart Watch - Any Thoughts?

Debating whether to get a mid-priced (up to £600-ish) smart watch for wearing on the odd occasions when I need to bung a suit on (court appearances etc... )

Have been thinking about one of these

Baume & Mercier Hampton.

Any thoughts or alternatives?

And yes, I'd prefer new, before Yoza and Corradoboy suggest pre-owned.

Your taste in watches in at the opposite end of the spectrum to mine, so I will pass no comment, other than this.......

The watches you like should come with a free pair of Polyvelts and a Green Citroen 2CV.

Oris, Longines, Raymond Weil. If it's your kind of thing, you could look at a Gucci watch. Some of the Tag Heuers are around £600.

The similarity between that Baume & Mercier Hampton and the Jaeger Reverso is uncanny...

Got a Tag, used to have a Jaeger before I was skint....

You're right tho' Carl - I'd never clicked that the two are so similar. Reverso is seriously gorgeous though...
