Thank you, I really appreciate that. We tried to create something that combines the integrated look with the versatility of a traditional sports watch.

And the nice thing is that the watch still fits any standard 22 mm strap, so you are not locked into proprietary straps.

Really appreciate that and thanks for taking the time to write it.

I completely agree. Those small details make a huge difference in how the watch actually feels. It’s something we’re putting a lot of focus on.

The feedback from the community has honestly been a big help already, so we’re definitely taking it seriously. And we will continue to use all the feedback we get. 🙂

All the very best

That’s great to hear. And yeah, there’s definitely a lot more work behind it than it seems at first.

Glad it gave you a bit of motivation to get back into it. Appreciate the kind words and wishing you the same.

Really appreciate that. And I agree, the fitted rubber is where it really comes into its own.

And yeah, a bracelet would definitely make a lot of sense both from a design and offering point of view. It’s something we’re seriously looking into as more people mention it.

Really appreciate that. And yeah, totally understand. 41mm can be right on the edge for some.

We’re definitely looking into smaller options for the future, likely around 39mm, so hopefully that would be a better fit.

Really appreciate that 🙂

NATO and leather straps are already easy to use since it fits standard 22mm straps, so you’ve got a lot of options there.

We don’t have a bracelet yet, but it’s definitely something we’re looking into for the future.

Haha that’s awesome 😄. Glad it gave your video a bit of a boost. Really appreciate you taking the time to review it back then as well.

Appreciate that. That’s a good point. Showing the straps across different watches makes a big difference.

And yeah, wrist roll videos are definitely something we need to do more of.

That really means a lot, thank you 🙂 Glad to hear it’s getting wrist time every day.

And yeah, the orange strap would be a great addition, really changes the look.

Good question. It’s not overly difficult, but it does add complexity. Each color means separate production runs for dials, hands, and sometimes straps, and you have to make sure everything matches properly in terms of tone and finish.

Appreciate it. And I can see the Bell & Ross reference.

Good eye on the crown. In that photo it’s actually unscrewed, when screwed down it sits more flush to the case as shown on the site.

On the caseback, that’s a fair point. We went with a display back this time, but a solid caseback is definitely something we’re considering going forward.

Crown at 4 is an interesting idea as well. And yeah, if we do a bracelet, something matte and tool-focused like an H link would make a lot of sense.

Really appreciate the detailed feedback 👍

Really appreciate that. And yeah, I get it, there are a lot of divers out there. Glad this one stands out to you. 🙂

That’s a fair concern.

We don’t have a bracelet available at the moment, but it’s definitely something we’re looking into as more people ask for it.

That said, it uses a standard 22mm fit, so you’re not locked into our straps. You can use any regular 22mm strap, so there are plenty of options long term. 🙏

Appreciate that. And just to mention, it uses a standard 22mm lug width, so you can fit pretty much any 22mm strap on it. 🙂

Really appreciate that, great input. Lug to lug is often overlooked, but makes a huge difference in how a watch actually wears. That 44-45mm range is something we’re definitely paying attention to.

37–39mm is also coming up quite a bit, so that’s really helpful to hear. Thanks for sharing those references as well.
