I prefer the design of the ceramic midsize but pity the size is a tat small for my liking.
If the design of the midsize is available in more than 40mm, tt would be nice...

Happy holidays...

Hey, Hi
Thank you for the reply

I did buy the watch because i love it and because of the good movement as well - ETA 7750, Was considering between glycine airman, Tag aquaracer and Ball
However once i bought it i have been reading mixed reviews on Ball watches being straightly just using the ETA, being called more of a case designer then a true watch maker.
I know i cant believe most things i read online so wanted to ask folks here what they really feel about ball watches.The fireman Ionosphere introduced in 2008 that i have bought after 6 years now, not sure if thats a good idea

Haha - simply confused

any advice

Well my love for Ball watch are tritium tubes, case back design, shock resistance, quite accurate in timing, built quality and its history. Different strokes for different folks.

I won't say those reviews are wrong but I think we need to put them in the right perspective (are they bias to certain brands) and also what does it mean by "true watch maker". Does a "true watch maker" really make every single parts of their watch? I believe some do but most not as it will not be economical to produce small volume.
Although Ball use ETA, at least they took the effort to tune the movement to be as precise as possible, the case designer design the case to withstand shock and survive under adverse condition. To me these are innovation and value that surpasses certain bigger brands.
To me the year of the watch being introduced is not a concern as it shows that it is well liked and that's why they are still in production. For me I still prefer some of their older design which has stop production.
Well this are just my personal take base on your concern and I will always take watch reviews with a pinch of salt.
