Got this watch in the past few days, titanium case, sapphire crystal, it isn't an automatic which for me works better. I did change out the leather strap it came with and put on a nicer padded strap and deployment clasp, actually just moved it from my previous watch and looks and rides well.

I like the simplicity of it and the larger date numbers at first I thought were over done but have now grew on me like wow, much easier to read at a glance....but then I am getting old ;)

The matte black face is especially appealing to me as the shiny ones tend to skew around the light when you go to look at the watch, this one is just flat black, no reflections, much better!

The lumen when I hit it with a light before nodding off to sleep you can still read the time come early morning in the dark.

I think you picked a winner there Gary. Thanks, let us know how you like it in a month. After tax time I'll likely get one myself, it checks all the boxes for me.
