I didn't used to care for anything bigger than 44mm, but some Androids have really caught my eye. In fact, I've just received the following, but I'm not sure about the double escapement. It's my understanding that the second escapement is decorative - if it runs at a specific number of beats per minute, I guess it could be used as a kind of hard to read second hand. I think I'm reaching with that, but I like the way it looks, just don't know about the escapement that is just for show! It does come on a beautiful lizard strap, though. I kind of wish I could get the same strap for the gray dialed skeleton, which looks WAY better in person than in the stock photos. In the stock photos it looks cheap and flat with no life. In person it doesn't look cheap or lifeless at all! That's the problem with stock photos - many watches look bland until you see them in person. Oh, I also have another Android auto on the way. It has a white MOP dial (the colored ones look better, but I don't think the white is dyed, while the purple, blue, etc. I believe are dyed). Even if the white is dyed, it LOOKS natural...

Even the strap on the gray skeleton is much nicer in person, although I probably will replace it with something leather. I think the MOP dialed Android on the way is 48mm, so hopefully I can get used to something that big. The tungsten case, sapphire crystal, and MOP dial were really enticing.

I liked Android from the start; whether you like the designs or not I think everyone agrees they're at least unique, and the brand is honest and committed to customers, which sets them apart, especially among the "affordable" companies. I don't think you'll ever feel you should have got ten more for your money when you buy an Android.

Here are my two... though I'm looking to sell the first one, the Naval 2g black, and maybe get something more colorful, as I have too much black/grey in my collection. Any interest in adopting a Naval 2g? :T

I love the watches but it just bothers me that you spend all that money and you don't get Sapphire crystal? just harden class. just cant get into the the line of watches because of that.
They're not very expensive, and there are much more expensive watches without sapphire! Also, I don't know if it's a new thing, but some of their watches now have sapphire, like this new one I received yesterday:
