That’s a pretty ugly watch if you ask me.

Looks like it is designed by a modern UI engineer: gray on gray, black on gray, difficult to see relevant information and a lot space wasted.

The Ferrari logo is very clear.

Price: $1,888,000 US dollars.

Limited run of only 150 units! Sheesh ...

Pretty cool, but it costs like $100K per mm.

Think of it as art, not a tool.

Awful looking, terrible typography, form chases away function ....

Hugely impressive piece of machinery though.

Watches that cost more than US$2,000,000 are typically ugly a/f because the point is to draw attention to it. When you're worth hundreds of millions or billions, you need to invent more ways to show it off.

I hope they follow up with an excellent V2. The tech is down, now if they can only take care of those aesthetics.

Wouldn't wear that even if you paid me and took me out for dinner.

Maybe they should be marketing this watch to rich nerds instead of playboy LARPers - to people who will appreciate it for the technology.
