I got to try on the Sea Quartz 30 prototype at the Momentum Factory Outlet last week = looks great and it feels really good on the wrist!! Wears a bit smaller than the 42mm suggests...

Finally arrived today. Verdict...LOVE IT!
Image
The notable heft of it was surprisingly pleasant. The quick-release rubber strap is also very flexible and comfortable; I like how it incorporates the buckle holes into the design. Excellent, smooth screw-down crown that is easy to grip due to the tapered crown guards. The case feels like a solid nicely-milled block of cold, hard steel :)
Image
At first I thought it was going to be too big for my 6.75 inch wrist - but it sits flat and secure with no lug overhang, and slips under my shirt sleeve.
ImageImage
Rotating the sapphire bezel was a joy - excellent, firm 120-clicks with no playback. The seconds hand also has a solid tick (no noise) with no stutter.

Room on the back for engraving if desired.
Image
The lume was very nice and bright. Will be interesting to see how long it lasts through the night.
Image
This watch begs to get beat up and show all the battle scars over time. I have no issue if this accidentally dings things on occasion.
Image
Never thought I would get into battery-powered quartz watches again, but this one definitely brought me back! Well done, Momentum/St. Mortiz.

Looks great! I've read some people had a hard time with the bezel, that the grip wasn't the best. I like seeing another opinion.

Still waiting for mine...

There's better bezel grips out there for sure - the coin edge on this one is polished, so it is quite smooth. Still nice though.

Loving mine so far as well. build like a tank, and all kinds of good looks. The bezel is an issue with mine but i don't think it has anything to do with the grip, it's just super tight. Supposedly will loosen over time. Noticeably heavier than the other monnin type watches i have, but I'm assuming it's all the sapphire.

I'm really regretting not having mine engraved with something like "Thanks for everything. -Robin Masters" I was too in a hurry to order it though.
