While in no rush to buy straight away, I’ve been eyeing up my next watch purchase. I’ve narrowed the choice to two, pictured below. I’m still open on the colour palates. And both options have esoteric merits beyond the visual. The Riley is a local-to-me brand, which I value, and the Xeric is the good side of strident and quirky. Which would you choose? (Both is an option, if you don’t consider them conceptually similar. Neither is also an option, if you dislike them.)
