This thing is legit. 39mm is relatively modestly sized in the modern dive-watch market, yet it doesn’t wear too small on medium sized wrists. Bezel feels (read: clicks/rotates) great. Styling is terrific. It’s a diver/sports watch, but it’s subdued enough that you could totally wear it with a suit.

The brushed 3-link bracelet with polished sides is comfortable and feels well made. While there’s no on-the-fly micro adjust, it does come with a half link on the bracelet as well as 3 micro-adjust pin-holes in the clasp. So finding a good fit shouldn’t be too hard. It’s also equipped with quick release pins. That’s a MASSIVE positive for those wanting a lean, affordable, versatile wardrobe, because quick release pins means swapping out the bracelet for a NATO or leather strap will be super easy. No more needing a sports watch and dress watch. Just put a leather strap on this (if you choose) and you’re on your way.

Quick release pins make swapping out the bracelet for something else significantly easier.

Only drawback is how it feels at the crown. The movement is a 21-jewel Miyota automatic with ~42 hours of power reserve, but it just doesn’t feel great when you use the crown. It’s okay. It’s fine! But unscrewing and screwing down the crown reveals that the threads are kinda “mneh”… and not the easiest operating.

But bottom line: for $275 – $300ish?

That dog’ll hunt.

Or, more representational of the object in question… that aquatic mammal will swim?

Something like that.
