The automatic movement is pretty smooth, smoother than videos on YouTube make it look. The watch face is a good size for my wrist and it wears very well. It's heavy, which I like, but not so much that it's cumbersome. I need to either take 2 links out or take it and have 2 links taken out; haven't decided if I want to do it myself or not, I've read it's a real PITA to do. Either way, I'm too tired to mess with the links tonight. Packaging isn't as impressive as the Citizen or the Tissot, but I don't wear the box so I don't really care too much. It came wrapped around a nice pillow and was undamaged, that's good enough for me. The outer dial spins one direction with firm, crisp clicks, which is nice. The watch face looks black in some pictures and at some angles, but it is actually dark blue. In person you pick up the blue a lot more than you do in pictures. I think once I get it sized this will quickly become a daily wear watch on office days and casual outings with the wife.Looks great!! Since this is a diver, you know you need to post up an obligatory lume shot...charge that beast up and show us what it looks like all Christmas-treed up! :thumbup:
Links shouldn't be too bad to size if you've got the tools, if you take a pic of the sides of one of the links I can kind of give you a feeler on it. Pretty much any jeweler out there can size it for you though for like $10.
One cool touch on yours is the black date wheel. It's one upgrade that I think would have looked really cool on my SKX build but at this point I don't care enough to send it back to get done :lol:
That is going to make for a great daily wearer, on or off-duty. It should run somewhere between 12-15s/day unless you get a factory freak and it may take a few days of wear to settle in to that. If you want to time it yourself, there is a free app you can download called WatchCheck. I use it to track each of my pieces and how well they are keeping time, over time 8)
