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.
As Mido is part of a conglomerate, I think it shares the same movement with Tissot (Powermatic 80) and Hamilton (H series). Just like the other three, if you take it to Mido, the possibility is that they will replace the movement. Also, as there are a lot of watches with that movement, the possibility is high that nearby watchmaker will be able to repair them and already has access to the components - it’s better to ask nearby watchmaker. Usually the durability is quite good, so it will be several years before it actually breaks (it depends on usage though as it’s mechanical).
Anyway, watches are consumables, hence I think you don’t need to think that much far ahead.
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.
