Recently started wearing a Bel Canto and am hooked on that sound!
Like you, I have a hard time switching over to my other watches because I’ve gotten so used to the pleasant “ding” that often catches me off guard! Also this thing is super accurate. I set it so that it dings at about 15 seconds before the hour and it has been extremely consistent.

How is that light blue dial/color in person? That's the version I ordered 14 months ago now!
It is indeed very nice in person. The color is a bit deeper than in my picture. I get a lot of comments/compliments.
Different strap colors also work, but I haven’t decided on alternatives yet.
