Try it, you'll like it. The "opening up" is not like most watches, it's easy. The O ring seal is not delicate. > > * Fits standard watch bands > 20mm is a standard watch band, but it is very narrow compared to the > watch case (this is not just my own opinion). It is just as easy to > buy 22 or 24 mm bands, and there are many stylish 26mm bands as well. 20mm is a size that fits the watch well keeping in mind how the case is made, if the band were wider, the lugs would be intrusive. Also the size of the watch does not reflect the weight of the watch...it's very lightweight, which is not obvious from looking at it. > > * Looks like a wristwatch in the details > It truly is very large for a wrist watch.

He said details, not size :) Yes, it's large! that's because there's a lot of stuff in it. And it's neat stuff to look at. > > * Some amount of water resistance > This one I don't really understand because your design is somewhat > perfect for a waterproof watch up to at least 10 meters, so why do you > say it only has some water resistance? > David doesn't get any "warranty work" fixing flooded watches this way...it makes sense to me. This is not a diving watch. It is safe to wear it in rain, or other normal situations where water resistance is needed. Most folks don't need a waterproof watch, and making it waterproof is an expense they don't need to pay for.
