 I've had my two Benarus watches for almost two weeks now. I loved the Barracuda immediately, but I was slow to warm to the Sea Devil.

I wasn't totally impressed with the look and fit of the watch, but I am warming up to it the more I wear it. The dial and skeleton hands are cool. And the night lume is pretty good!

BTW, I stole the lume pic from someone else here, sorry!

I'm not enamored with the included leather strap as I find it too thick and bulky, and while the included silicone strap is comfortable it picks up too much lint, fibres and dust. I like the bracelet, same as on the Barracuda but I'm worried about scratching the PVD coating. I ordered an Italian rubber dive strap for it from BaliHa'i, hopefully that is an improvement.







I want to love this watch, but if I find it isn't getting the wrist time it deserves I may look for a more attentive owner for it.
