I really like this. The blue especially.

If this is as good as Chronicle is (I got to review it, and loved it), I will definitely be buying this.

If it had a 12 hour bezel option, it would make a good pseudo GMT.

A lot to like here. Will be watching how this one goes.

Not to my tastes, but well executed and clean. Objectively attractive.

Handsomely executed design. The caseback is interesting…wonder if the protruding fins and deep relief would present comfort issues or not.
