I picked going with Tisell over other similar options b/c of what little I could find about Tisell, seemed to be good. The package arrived within 2 weeks (although a watch box, etc. would be nice) nicely and securely packaged.

Watch itself is how it looks in pictures, albeit the dial is a little more off-white than as seen. Hands seem to be heat-blued, although the blue is not as evident in person as it is in pictures, unless looking at different angles. The crystal seems to sapphire, although it streaks and holds prints/smudges more than my other watches. Miyota 9015 movement looks to be adjusted, and runs about +/- 3 seconds out of the box, which is absolute commendable. Date window which is default at the 3 o'clock position for the Miyota 9015 is at the 6, which is very nice, and keeps the bauhaus/minimalist/symmetrical design going.

Strap was swapped out for a navy NATO, which fit the watch design a bit better (IMO, personal taste). Strap bars were a bit weak, prone to creaking.

Recommendations for v3 (as to my understanding, this is v2 already): domed sapphire crystal, make the watch thinner than 10mm (I believe comparable watches with the same movement can be had around 9mm), and the T logo on the crown be engraved instead of raised (thinner, more ergonomic).

Overall, fantastic purchase, fantastic value. Couldn't be happier with anything else similar on the market!
