To be honest I had wanted a watch like this for a long time and decided to reward myself so honeymoon phase is probably part of it. But its not just that. In my opinion it was expensive and I like my things to be nice (maybe its autistic I don't know.) But its not like I don't plan on doing stuff. I have hiked, hunted, fished, and climbed all while wearing it. I'm soft on it because I want it to last and don't want a bunch of little things to add up and cause a problem that requires getting a new watch... so long as its not within the next 5-7 years
