Great owner feedback
Sorry it did not work out for you in the end. So many wonderful options these days, none of us needs to ever settle, especially in this price league.
The bracelet on my Minute Rattrapante and Mineral Blue no date is one of my favorite features of the watch. The aesthetics, comfort, and quality are all on par for me. While I would appreciate a micro adjust, I guess I am lucky that I find a great fit with the 1.5 link. Certainly would be better with a micro adjust though.
The crown on the MR is sublime. Sized properly with good tactile sensations when operating. The no date? I actually had to check with my dealer to make sure it was OK.

That’s what I heard as well.

Excellent and fair review.
I concur on the crown: it's too small. I also had a hard time pulling it out to set the time and adjust the date, which were big reasons why I moved on from the watch. Like you, I also purchased a 1.5 link for my bracelet and that gave me a comfortable an...
I’m glad I’m not the only one.
I really wanted to love the piece, but the day-to-day with it were less enjoyable than I expected. The bummer is that those should all be easily fixable, and the PF Tonda would be one of the best pieces in the market, period.
Informative.
I appreciate your candid feedback. I have never owned but only tried on and admired from afar. The lack of lume was what deterred me at the time.
I agree.
For an integrated sports watch, the lack of lume is an omission. I would have been willing to overlook it, if it wasn’t for the other downsides.
