Overall I am pleased with the design of the Coniston line. I felt that the line had a nice, clean minimalist face I was looking for a reasonable price. Extra details like the sunken lume and skeletal hands were nice touches to complete the look. In the end I chose the Coniston Steel because I felt that the pop of red along with the sunburst style face gave it a little something extra over the White version. The watch does wear well with a tan perforated strap and the exhibition case back is nice window into the mechanics of the watch. That said, my copy did come with a slight blemish in that one of the letters on the quotation engraved at the back was not painted/applied properly... a minor quibble about the QA/QC over something that would not be noticeable in everyday use... but still... Overall I was quite happy to add this watch to my collection.
