Blue Mako vs. Orange Mako

[flech]

Hi guys, I'm planning to buy a decent everyday watch. I'm having hard time choosing between the Blue or Orange Mako I, which would you advise me to buy? Which would be more worth the money? Would a Seiko Orange Monster be a better alternative. Thanks, I'd appreciate every help.

If it's going to be you everyday watch, blue may be a bit more 'neutral'.
If I would have the choice between a Mako and a Monster, I'd pick the Monster, however, don't forget it's quite a bit more expensive too.

It depends on what sort of watch you are looking for. For formal wear or something bit more of a bling? Black and blue are more suited for everyday formal wear to office. Black is slightly dull than Blue.
If you are willing to spend the extra money get the monster. It should have better build quality and lume than the mako. But i doubt you could use it as a everyday watch for all occasions.

Even the pepsi mako is quite flashy. Do consider it aswell.

Hi Flech, I think blue is the way to go for a casual everyday watch.

+1 Orange would be a bit flashy IMHO. Blue is very neutral in a watch.

Certainly I would vote for the blue dial. The "Monster" and the "Mako" are quite different watches. I'd choose the one that you like the most.

You need to get both. ;)
I own the Black Monster and Black Mako. They are my two favorite watches - but the Mako is better as an everyday watch for the office, IMO. The blue is only slightly less versatile.

ha, you can wear it at the same time!

I would pick a Mako over a Monster. If you're looking for an everyday watch, I'd suggest the blue because it will go with more. The dial really looks stunning (stock photos don't do it justice.)

If you are looking for versatile, definitely blue dial. In emergency case without a dress watch nearby, you can wear it with suit, no problem. While orange dial is for casual only ( same as Monster).
