me, had it for a brief while. value for money, looks like a million bucks on the wrist.
it's alittle thick but that's fine with me
the only issue is the 1/10th second hand, gives u the jitters if you stare at it.

bracelet finish is done well, the taper is great.
the free extra rubber strap with deployant clasp is cherry ontop.

i say go for it, either dial is fine but blue is my pick

I’ll add here: the dial is nice but the strap is very, very light colored. Tried the 36 and am obsessed with that watch, but the strap would never get worn with the light blue version. No big deal if you’ll only ever use bracelet, or want to buy other straps.

Dark blue better overall I think but I’m holding out to see if they do the white or black in 36. That watch is my favorite in-production non-Rolex at the moment and for those with smaller wrists or who just like smaller watches it’s worth a look.
