Ruined it a bit with the MOP and the hands, but still a sweet watch. 46mm Cushion case with a 9015 inside  Superluminova hands and markers. Would guess it to be introduce at the $200 price point (+ or -)Attachment: 6754_10151376373399220_182177877_n.jpg (Downloaded 105 times) |

I agree it has a classic case design,but I wish Android would get away from all the made for TV dials using cheap Mother Of Plastic,and the oversized,almost unwearable 50-52mm cases!...a simple gloss,or matte black dial using the applied markers with full lume hands would have been perfect imo. |

Agree, Gumba. They build watches that weigh a pound, like its a badge of honor  Tis one is not bad at 46mm and a slimmer case height. The MOP...well |

Agree with you guys 100%, making some nice looking watches with some nice movements but as Oscar says the MO Plastic could go and they need to trim the MMs a little. Unfortunately their market is not us, it's SlopNBC viewers so I doubt we will see any changes Last edited on Sun Mar 31st, 2013 08:15 am by Nabco |

I imagine there will be non-MOP variants in the future. |

Tony, This just came. Not sized. Liked the black on black version so much, I bought the orange dial. 45mm version. I don't care for the MOP dials, but I do now have three big Android watches and they do wear better than I would have imagined. It is the increasing thickness that I don't get.

Those look great Mike. I agree the size is not as big an issue as case thickness. |

Way too wide for me...LOL...with 7.5 inch wrists anything over 44mm is overkill...LOL. |

Looks like the Parma will be introduced with what appears to be a lumed dial also...not sure about it, but if done right might be pretty cool..... Attachment: 622-086.jpg (Downloaded 43 times) |

I would almost be 100% positive that is a lume dial. Shopnbc tends to over brighten their photos. This is what it looks like with the brightness reduced.
