- Is the Mido Multifort 8 One Crown a good first automatic watch?
- Yes. It has a Swiss automatic movement, sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance, which is more than most entry-level automatics offer. The 80-hour reserve also means it keeps time after a weekend off.
- How does it compare with the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80?
- Both use an 80-hour Swiss automatic and a steel bracelet. The Mido has an octagonal bezel and a 40mm case; the PRX has a thinner integrated-bracelet design. The Mido is the more distinctive case shape.
- Can I swim with it?
- Yes, up to 100m. That covers swimming and snorkeling, but not diving. The crown is not screw-down, so keep it pushed in around water.
- What is the case size?
- The case is 40mm across in stainless steel. Because of the octagonal bezel it wears a little larger than a round 40mm watch.
- Does it have a date?
- Yes, there is a date window on the dial. It is a simple date, not a day-date.
- What comes in the box?
- The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, along with the Mido presentation box and warranty paperwork.
