I have had the pleasure of oniwng this wrist instrument for 8 years. It is big, heavy more than 8 ounces accurate and just plain fun. It does make a statement; there is no hiding it. I have used the chronograph stopwatch to time medications, trips, etc.Very accurate for an automatic watch; I true it up monthly with an atomic clock usually off by only a few seconds. This is a rugged watch which demands attention. It is a luxury but one that will combine function and reliability.
