This has been a very nice watch so far, but there have been a few disappointments. Most of them have been my own fault for not reading the product description closely enough before placing my order.
Firstly the watch was much larger than I had anticipated. Large watches are the trend, but at over 50mm including the crown I was a bit shocked at first. Again, this is my fault for not thoroughly reading the description. The thickness is also larger than I expected, but is proportionate to the width. I have a larger than average build and felt the watch suited me and decided to keep it; it may look odd on someone with a smaller frame though.
The rubber bracelet is made with a very substantial hard rubber that I am pleased with. It had plenty of length as well. I had to remove two (large) links to get a good fit. The links are easily removed with a couple of jeweler's screwdrivers.
The bezel is very deep and can cause issues seeing the face if viewed at too steep an angle. Again not a big deal but it's something I had not noticed in the photos before ordering.
The "Mineral" crystal has a very slight purple-blue hue to it in the right light at the right angle. It's not distracting to the point of annoyance though. I've been wearing it for a month or two now and have not had any scratches as of yet and have been fairly rough with it.
Lastly, as should be expected since this is a "Combat" watch, for light discipline purposes, there is no lume on the dial whatsoever. This combined with the dark design of the face makes reading difficult in low light.
Over all I'm very satisfied. The watch is very sturdy and feels well built. It's hefty due to it's size, but the rubber bracelet helps minimize the weight. If you like the design and the size is not an issue for you I'd recommend it.
