I really wanted to love this watch, I liked the design on the photos and the specs on paper. I bought the "like new" option and the watch that arrived was actually brand new with all stickers, yet at half the price. Awesome! However, some things really bugged me. Starting with the bracelet which was supposed to be one of the main selling points for me but ended up as the biggest let-down due to some poor design choices, like zuper-scratchy clasp and some squeaking/jingle to it. Worst of all, because the lugs are so tall and the fact that the the end links sit so close to the top of the lugs, the second links just dropped down at almost 90 degrees angle rather than stretch out following the line of the lugs to wrap around my wrist, which is 7 inches, so a great match for the 40mm case size, in theory. I think it would look better on a bigger wrist. Other than that, the module was a bit disappointing too. Though apparently it was regulated, it just didnt perform any better than it does on other, often cheaper watches. It's well within the norm but not good enough to make me want to keep it. It may be my particular watch, many reviewers praise just a couple -/+ seconds, and I got -1 or -2 SPD one day and -15/-20 on other two tests, and lost even more overnight when it was stuck in one position. Finally the design of the case, while nice, was just nothing special enough and wouldn't stand out in my modest sized collection, with a diver and a field watch already in it. The red 'Sector' print is nice in theory but to the naked eye it's illegible and looks somehow flawed (it's perfectly fine if you take a photo and zoom in). Finally, the crystal is really nice and domed, but there's a bluish tint to it which kills the green dial in most viewing angles. I know this is highly subjective and I'm nitpicking, neither of these issues is a deal-breaker by itself, but together, and for me personally, they were too much and I ended up selling the watch. If it was my first or second watch, I'd very likely have kept it.
