Great case size and shape. Almost prefect actually. Great lume in terms of brightness. Good movement and sapphire crystal. Good power reserve. 200m WR. Pretty durable ie can easily be worn as a dress watch but tough enough for every day use. Still good value even if the price has gone up since they were discontinued.
Con’s:
Lume not easily distinguishable as 12 marker not differentiated from others. Inner rotating compass bezel feels a bit cheap & gimmicky, has a tendancy to move on its own and the added crown is a negative on the aesthetic. The strap is atrocious. Easily remedied of course, but factor that into the cost. Green dial. This isn’t a con as such - in fact it’s a beautiful sunburst green dial, it’s just that it’s very marmite and doesn’t go with everything. I had no issue with it, some can’t get past it.
If you fancy one just go for it. They won’t depreciate and you won’t know if it’s for you til you’ve spent some time wearing it day to day. I really enjoyed mine but chose to sell it to fund other watch purchases in the end.
