Thanx u guys, for the kind words. I just love it, a real no-BS design, that does its job. And as the first edition I had for 17-18 years or so had a quite "sharp" corner on the depth sensor, this newer design has a completely different machined case, and is much more comfortable on the wrist. And Jeff, it has a 40mm dial, and is 50mm including the depth sensor on the left side (and crown) And 24mm lug width. And aprox 19mm tall.
Only thing I think should have been better, is that it has a mineral crystal, and not sapphire. Another neath feature is that it uses three different batteries, one for the analog hands, and two for the depth sensor and digital stuff. So when the analog part "dies" eventually, you still have the digital watch for quite some time. On my old one the digital window lasted me almost a whole year before they shut down, after the analog was out of juice. (didn´t want to change just to see how long it actually lasted) Will of course die quicker if one uses the dive features often. And lume is at Seiko standard!
All in all, a great and iconic dive watch imho. And this one I´m never selling, that´s for sure.
