The watch I've been holding out for!
I've had my eye on this piece for months, but now that the price has dropped, I've finally given in and treated myself. I literally just got the watch in the mail and am celebrating with this review, so keep in mind that this is only a first impression.
It is a bit different than I was expecting. The band and watch are more polished than the dusty photo suggests. At first, coupled with the chunky size, I was let down that the effect was more Emo than Fallout 3/rugged, but it's already growing on me, and I'm changing my mind. I also think that it'll only get cooler with age/scuffs. The cover can be a little difficult to slide up and down. I haven't decided if this is good or bad, or if it'll loosen with use.
The watch itself has an alarm and a timer, like your standard digital watch. If you have bad eyesight, you may reconsider since the numbers surrounded in black are narrow and the p.m., for example, is only 50% visible because the black sucks it up. For me, the style of the inverted digital more than makes up for it, though. Unfortunately, it also beeps like your standard timex, which I wish could change. Perhaps that's the only significant drawback.
The weight and way the watch wraps to you is very nice (and I haven't worn a watch for years). My wrists are narrow, btw. I'm still impressed with how it joins rugged function with style. I'd compare it to an SUV if SUVs weren't known for crappy manufacture or for attracting a...banal clientele. It's too unique for that anyway.
If you were curious, the day of the month is what's visible when the cover is closed.
All in all, I'm more than happy with my new watch!
