TA review makes a compelling case to keep your powder dry. Just plain ugly with no sparkle to be seen.
For me the move to house branded watches is a very big mistake. I have no idea where their MH watch is made, the quality, accuracy or durability of the inner workings the case or the strap.

I want to buy a brand I know and trust is super accurate and durable and for me that's Seiko. I wouldn't pay $100 for a Michael Hill watch they typically wanted $700 for when I looked a while back. The fact that my local Michael Hill store will not stock well known trusted brands of watches undermines their total store offering and I don't know if I could trust any of their other products, especially house branded ones. For me, they have shot themselves in the foot. This sort of house brand strategy is designed to give them extra margin and was a roaring success for Dick Smith wasn't it ! I don't believe in their stores or their product strategy so wouldn't own their shares either. (my 2 cents)
