Is the Mido Baroncelli a good first automatic watch?

Yes. It is a simple, slim Swiss automatic with a sapphire crystal and a date, which covers the basics well. Just expect dress-watch durability rather than sports-watch toughness.

Can I swim with the Baroncelli?

No. Its 3 ATM rating covers splashes and rain only. Keep it off for swimming, showering and diving.

How does it compare with the Tissot Le Locle?

Both are Swiss automatics in a similar price class. The Baroncelli is thinner and more understated, while the Le Locle offers more dial decoration and a slightly different case shape.

What is the case size and strap width?

The case is 39mm across and 7.3mm thick, and the strap takes a 20mm width. That makes it a moderate size that fits most wrists.

Does it have a sapphire crystal?

Yes. The crystal is scratch-resistant sapphire, which is a step above mineral glass found on many rivals.

How long does it run without wearing it?

About 42 hours on a full wind. If you rotate it out for longer than that, you will need to reset and wind it.

About the Mido Baroncelli Men's Automatic Watch

The Mido Baroncelli is a slim Swiss dress watch with an automatic movement, a 39mm stainless steel case and a sapphire crystal. Its 7.3mm case height and 20mm leather strap make it easy to wear under a shirt cuff, and the Mido Caliber 1192 (based on the ETA 2892A2) gives it a 42-hour power reserve. It suits buyers who want a classic, understated automatic watch without the bulk of a sports model. Against rivals like the Tissot Le Locle or Hamilton Jazzmaster, it is thinner and uses the same Swiss movement family, but its 3 ATM water resistance is modest and it is a dress piece rather than an everyday beater.
