...to fit my needs. I've been wearing diver's watches as daily 'beaters' for many years
and this is the latest and greatest IMO, and that's comparing it to many very expensive
ones which shall go unnamed, most of which I still own. Eco-Drive,size, waterproofness,
case sturdiness (yet lightness),and all around bullet-proofness is what led me to decide
on this watch. It'll be a beater yes and cheap to replace but I'll treat it with the respect
that a very fine machine deserves.
It's the fourth Eco-Drive for me and I've gifted Eco-Drives to my wife and children over the
last 10 or more years and none have had the slightest problem so far - we must have almost a dozen
of them by now! My only critique is the small date window and that chunky bracelet will be replaced with
a sleeker deployant silicon rubber one. I was relieved at it's size (in person) as some divers's
watches are way too large and heavy and in everyday beater applications all that size
and weight just get in the way and become bothersome. This really is the everyday watch for me.
