Assembled & Shipped from Switzerland seems pointless on a watch using the Miyota 9015. Nothing against the movement, but Swiss assembled probably factors into higher pricing. The prices aren't bad, but not sure what they gain being Swiss assembled. I'd rather see them put that cost into the build of the watch. The watch isn't anything special and using a cheap stamped clasp and weak lume is never going to make a good first impression.
