What reviewers say

Hodinkee and Professional Watches praise the slimmer-looking case proportions and comfortable fit despite the larger nominal diameter. Hodinkee particularly likes the adjustable clasp and everyday versatility. Professional Watches found the steel bracelet heavy and wanted an official rubber option; both describe a subtle evolution and substantial cost, with Professional Watches reporting scarce dealer supply during its original test.
