I’m considering this watch as a milestone watch, and also my first affordable Swiss-made one.
How accurate is the watch out of the box? Can it be regulated for more precise timekeeping? Is the ‘Caliber 80’ movement serviceable in the usual local watch stores? Since it’s not a mass-distributed movement I have some concerns about long-term ownership. For example, if parts need to be replaced, can the local watchmakers do it without involving Mido directly to procure the parts.
Watchmakers with a Swatch parts account can easily get parts for it, though it’s cheaper to just send it to Swatch service, who will swap it out and recycle the movement.
