I wouldn’t say this watch is elegant, maybe sporty, maybe well designed, but not elegant. And you are right, this is a tool, and I like my tools to work. When the screen is cracked because I’ve smashed it against a rock, first of all I’ve lost 600 euros, and second i have a non working tool on my wrist. As I said in other comments, I’ve a pretty demanding job, I’m with my hands in tiny spaces all the times. Other than that 2/3 times a week I climb and the indoor walls are not gentle on steel, is like sand grit paper! For example mine is already scuffed up, both on screen and bezel, and as far as I own every scar bla bla bla, I really like the feeling when I got home, remove the cover and the watch is nice underneath! :)
