Max XL watches?
Discussion
looking for another cheap-ish watch for day to day work use when i dont want a g-shock on my wrist. saw a guy the other day with what looked like a nice expensive (but quite big) watch on his arm and asked him what it was.
turns out it is made by Max XL who according to him make TW Steel as well. cant seem to find any resellers in the UK (found a couple but their websites look a bit dodgy)
this is the one i was thinking about:
from what i can find, it retails for around £169.
anyone got one? know anything about them?
i know there are comparisons with seiko's etc, but i already have one of those so thought this was a bit different.
thoughts please.
edit to add that they do it with a leather strap as well that does look nice but wouldnt survive at work.

Similar designs, but no affiliation.I can't see the image you posted, but some of the models on the Max XL website looks similar to Parnis offerings on eBay. The difference is a Parnis will cost you £50-60, not £150! I've never heard of Max XL myself, but it sounds a bit ... err ... naff.
I'd rather have a Parnis, some of which are automatic too
Ikemi, fourth watch down http://maxxl.co.uk/index.php?cPath=11
If it was in the £50 watch thread I'd "pull the trigger"

Ikemi, i do like some of those you've mentioned. the naffness of "Max XL" had struck me, but i do like the similar look to the far more expensive F1 style chrono's.
i might dip my toe in the water and see.
ive been trying to find a web page that i found which mentioned their affiliation to TW steel - must find it again as thats the only reason that i seriously thought of it.
