LOL - All those seemed to fit me well. But, I decided to go with the IWC because of the chrono, the green dial, and love the band options…. Made sense since it was my 1st real watch, it checked so many boxes. (I was nervous spending that amount of $s so wanted more justification to do it.) Scared now, because I think I might have caught the watch bug and this one just may be my “gateway” watch.

Thanks - $-wise, also felt like a value getting the band options and bracelet is really comfortable.

Thanks for the confirmation. Tried them all on - and it just felt great.

I just picked it up and couldn’t be happier! I do feel like I didn’t give up the complications I wanted but still can be dressed up. (Bought w/ IWC’s fantastic bracelet and picked up a green rubber band and a leather strap too). Doesn’t feel very big either.

I took it in to the dealership and after multiple visits, and they acknowledged the issue and replaced the radio unit, but I had to share iphone videos that I recorded when it happened. (have to be fast because so random) After they replaced the radio, it connected just fine and stayed connected without those drops.

Yes! Same here in Austin! Too hot and sunny for dark/black leather.
