Received mine today. Even better than I anticipated. I subbed out the green nylon band for a 22mm brown leather with contrast stitch and a stainless steel deployant clasp. The watch itself is substantial, thick, and rises high off the wrist--higher than I am used to. Not sure how well it will fit under the cuff of a long-sleeve dress shirt, but I don't plan to wear this for business dress. What is most beautiful about it to me is the color and treatment of the gray face. Light reflects off that paint and the various subdials in such a way that the color has different inflections around the dial. I have also ordered a generic silicone rubber strap for wearing it in the water. I found only one place on the internet so far that sells authentic Glycine watch bands, and they charge $115 USD for any 22mm watch band, be it nylon, calfskin, alligator, or rubber with a standard, old-school tooth-and-eye latch--no deployant clasps offered. Stainless link bracelet by Glycine is $280, so I decided to pass on getting one of those, at least for now. But this was a GREAT deal at $600 on Massdrop. Hopefully it proves to be as durable as it is handsome.
Let's count the reasons, shall we?
(1) its water resistance is sufficient;
(2) it's the least expensive watch I own;
(3) I like to spend time in the ocean and the pool;
(4) I need to know what time it is while I'm in the water; and
(5) I want to.
Good enough for me.
