This watch has been out for a bit. I just got mine on the afternoon of Jan 4, 2018. After finding out when it was in the mail, I was hoping that I wouldn't like it because I found a Citizen I want.
I didn't do pictures of the unboxing, but I should have. The presentation box for this is really pretty nice. I may add those later.
My thoughts when I actually saw and obtained it from the box were "holy s--t it's big! There is no possible way that it'll be comfortable."
Boy was I wrong. This is one of the most comfortable watches I have worn. It was made with my wrist in mind. It fits on the top of my wrist perfect. I have a 7.5-7.75 inch wrist depending on the time of the day.
The case is machined from one solid piece of stainless steel. The case is 43mm without crown, 46mm with. If you choose to wear the protective bumper it is a 46mm case. The crown screws and umscrews insanely smooth. The screw down caseback is nothing fancy. Most of the watch has a brushed finish. The only polished areas are 6 spots on the bezel that does bring to mind some divers. This watch has 200m of wr. The crystal is triple ar coated sapphire. There is never a reflection here unless you catch a direct light source reflected.
The dial is a matte black with very understated astetics and minimal writing. The indicies are applied and lumed, as are the hour and minute hands. Military time is written around the dial in red, and this is brought out by the seconds hand. The date window at 4:30 looks deep, but probably isn't. The lume is the only disappointing part of this watch. It lights up good initially but fades very quickly.
The bracelet is a 2 piece h-link that resembles a tank tread. The clasp is a bit odd for a watch because it is the kind of clasp found on regular jewelry bracelets, but it fastens very securely. It is also exceptionally comfortable. There are a mix of full and half links. There is no micro adjustment.
Long story short folks, this is an exceptional watch for the money, even with the disappointung lume. Yes it is quartz. If it were solar, I could consider going to a 1 watch collection. It's that good.
