I read through every Amazon review for the BJ8050-08E Pro Dive before buying and a few recurring things came up-1) the height of the case 2) the band 3) the cal date 4) the weight 5) second hand alignment. I have had the watch three (3) days and here are my impressions: 1) the height of the case balances nicely to the weight and it is NOT extreme. It's big, but I have an 8" wrist and it's not THAT big. 2) the band is well designed for the watch and it is NOT horribly stiff, or unwearable. It's heavy and if you want a "flex" band this is NOT it. 3) the cal date is just barely readable-just BARELY. It is 1/2 undersized and about useless if your eyesight is an issue. 4) as others have noted, this is a DIVE watch. It is heavy, but it's not going to break your wrist heavy. It is well matched to its dimensions. 5) the second hand alignment was right on the money. The workmanship is good and clean and tight. Amazon ships quick and the price is right. If you are heading into "big watch" territory and just want a rugged looking/wearing watch for dive or general activities eco-zilla will do the trick. I'll give it 5 stars. If the date was important to me, it would have gotten a 4 stars.
