Be a hell of a lot cooler if it was an automatic….

But with that dial a P225 centered would be excellent. I’d pay twice as much for an automatic with a Seiko or Citizen/Miyota automatic mechanical movement.

For those who truly admire mechanical mastery and accuracy there is no substitute for a mechanical automatic movement. They have soul and joy of ownership that quartz just cannot match.

But I am biased as hell towards autos. Most people who have not come to love the character that an automatic provides would probably love an eco drive. My wife loves eco drive and despises automatics with their two day average power reserve.

Either way I’m in and will buy at least two of them. Cool

Automatic, subtle, non-glowing (IR compliant), and dust/water resistant to allow field use following the "blast". That's my vote.

Just like our SigForum ring, if this becomes available for purchase, I will definitely get one.

I like Sig Forum and the watch as is with no color changes.

Just Sig Forum would look best I think. If it has to have a picture how about the one with the plate of bacon and the sig next to it.

As stated….”Sig Forum” on the face would be cool.
That is a great idea Dave! Looking forward to see it progress

I suggest:

SIGforum (in the top area), and

>>>Eco-Drive<<< (in the bottom)

I would echo the desire for an automatic movement.

The green color is great

I like just "SIGforum"

and I want to buy one (even if it is quartz)... I am unsure how Karma would work. I would hate for you to eat the cost and Karma one each month...





Do, Or do not. There is no try.

Dave, with that watch, a more simple "SIG FORUM" would likely look better.

I like the landing page but envision some part of it being obstructed by the dial post and hands.

BTW: Not being able to buy one is quite cruel Smile


I would say pretty much the same thing.

If I were designing such a watch, I would put a subdued Trojan helmet, similar to our molon lobe rings, where “citizen“ is, and “sigForum“ down where it says Eco Drive.

For the helmet logo, I’m thinking something similar to the way Rolex and Omega place their logo at the top of their watches.


I like this idea. I think I'd prefer a black leather or NATO strap, but that's an easy change for the end user to personalize it. I would like to be able to purchase one as well, but I can't argue against a Karma only system either.

I think it should be the words and not the logo

my two cents, probably worth less than that

I notice all watches within a 500' radius. If I ever come across a SIG Forum watch in the wild, we will be friends.

Count me with those who would like to see the words "Sig Forum" on it.

Just the text.

And I’d buy one if they’re for sale

I think a graphic would be very interesting and sharp. Interesting I started wearing my watches daily again, after relying only on a cell phone for so long. Watches are much better for checking the time. Duh on me.
