Is this acceptable to you

All true...Owning over 50 Androids back in the day...I feel like they were better.
Better bracelets, better finishing, better milled claps and better hands..just better.
Maybe I'm wrong.. yeah they had foggy crystal syndrome, but my old Android Millipede is awesome...the Aragon version..not so much.

Dam...I bumming myself out.
But to use plating...that's too over the top for me. That's..cheesy beyond cheese.

13 year Wing Engineered customer myself. At one time, 60+ stashed in the man cave. Started having issues left and right the last couple years. Too many issues to go into, but I finally had to back away from the brand. I have, recently purchased some Aragons, but as roadwarrior stated. The purchases will be few and far between.

Appreciate all the feedback..
I always feel like wing goes all the way to the 10 yard line...then trips.
Don't copy the market..BUT ..look where it's going..
Make course corrections...
Be your own company but adhere to proven principles.
I understand manufacturing is rough and tough right now..costs are skyrocketing and everyone is trying to keep price points where they need to be while cutting corners.

I would suggest these..

1. Make smaller..I like big but not sooo big.

2. Please ditch the x-mas ornament red mirror red hands..They look cheap. Seiko, Omega,Tag, you name it..they don't do it and I know why. Android didn't and it looked richer

3. All watches need milled claps..no upgrade option, just put them in.Adjust price if need be..but the brand will be better for it.

4. Less bling..not every one lives and works in Miami around the night club life.
Less all polished please.

5. On the other hand, all brushed is more cost effective, but a healthy mix looks better. How many Aragons have you seen with bracelets that are brushed with some small polished parts...almost zero.

6. Bring back some retro Android designs.
The Alien dual time, the original Swiss predator and alike...re do what was the DNA of the brand.

7****Don't cut corners **** Those decisions hurt the brand more than the $$$ it saves.
 
Not acceptable. Seems to be happening more with Aragon. I have 3 Aragon’s and one has what looks like a brown spot on the teal blue dial. I miss the Android quality. As others have said, send it back.

No not acceptable!

My DF45 tritium tube is the last watch I purchased from them and it’s always been somewhat hard to get the crown screwd down, due to the oversized case crown protectors. I even go backwards until I feel it move off the thread. I recently cross threaded it. After 20 years and 20 watches with screw down crowns this is the first for me to have an issue. I have always been careful screwing them back in. Probably my fault, but it was never easy to use from the start. I don’t think I will be getting any more.

Right, no not acceptable!
but seems lately to be "expectable".
My DM45 Meteorite arrived with a date wheel that gets stuck on 10.
I didn't realize it for a month and then I believed I had originally set it wrong by accident when I received it.
Like clockwork when the date changes from 9 to 10 it will stop advancing.
There is also a small problem with the bracelet in that the mid link closest the lugs is hung up behind the center link that attaches to the lugs.
I have decided not to go thru the hassle of returning it or sending it for warranty work and rather just stop purchasing from Wing.
I gotta say that I wish things were different but something seems to have gone wrong with his QC

After 30 days Aragon wants you to pay shipping both ways and your without the watch a while. My bezel started turning both ways on my DF48. I got it back almost 2 months latter with a new case per them with a scratch on the back. I’m done. It’s seams that some Chinese watches are better, at a lower cost!
 
It's most certainly plated. I've seen a lot of overly shiny watches from both Aragon and Invicta. You can tell they are plated and not polished when the machined and etched designs on the bracelets are too smooth.
 
I wonder if that is why there seems to be many more high polished models compared to brushed. Hopefully it isn't mystery metal that is plated to cut cost, but rather being plated to cut cost and labor of polishing the SS. Either way it's not something that is a confidence builder for the buyer.

Polished Stainless Steel Watches

As with Bremont's core collection timepieces, the polished steel cases undergo a similar hardening treatment, providing high impact resistance but still retaining its polished surface finish. The signature coating gives the watch case extreme hardness, excellent toughness, good wear and high impact fatigue resistance; it is as such used widely in the aerospace industry.
