They've piqued my interest before but then I came to realise that it's pretty expensive for a Quartz watch. Think most of the cost comes from the tritium tubes and branding.

Doesn't look very durable in real life.

Not sure if it's a durability issue or QC issue but I've heard and read several horror stories online.

How are you liking this watch so far? I'm considering this and between Tudor's bbb, both caught my attention. But I'm lost I dont know which one to go for. Apparently I would prefer to have date on my watch..

If you want date then go with omega seamaster. No date then Tudor black bay. If you want date for Tudor go with Tudor Pelagoes

Yes, this is the one. Mine is in blue though. Though some might think the Bond bracelet isn't that nice aesthetically, I do think it matches the look of the watch.

The bracelet conforms to the shape of the wrist and is comfortable. The only thing that's lacking is the microadjustment of the bracelet (something like Rolex's glidelock).

Hmmm not a fan of Tudor. Paiseh. But if you'd prefer a watch with date (like me), can consider Pelagos instead...?

I had a black one, but I sold it to get a BB.

My reasons were that I didn't like having to update the date window every time I take it off for a few days, the bracelet doesn't fit my wrist that well somehow, and aesthetically I just preferred the look of the black bay.

The Omega steel strap looks very old fashion, same design for donkey years.
