Halios is is really solid. Most micros are pretty lame in comparison.

I don't think anything is frowned upon here. But you are right. The forum tends to attract a more mainstream/)high end brand crowd.

WUS is more "middle market" with brands like you mentioned. A lot of great brands in that arena and I own a few. But they don't get much love here.

Huh, I have a few Casio's and they went over well when I talked or posted them in the past. BTW, I have a few that are made in Japan. ;)

The only watches to frown upon are fakes.
