Professional Dangerous Adventure Sports Photographer

Posted by Carl Ryan on 9th Dec 2011
I purchased this watch for use in my professional capacity as a mountaineering, rock climbing, caving, potholing and outdoor extreme action photographer. I needed a chrono time piece that was both reliable and easy to read in low light. in the most demanding of situations. This wristwatch fitted the bill to a tee and did not disappoint, with it's well set out face numerals and 3 dial display, that doesn't confuse like other chrono watches with fussy layouts. Its chunky heavy feel gives it a robust, reassuring feel and the strap felt firm and comfortable without the watch flip flopping on the wrist. It as taken several hard knocks to the face and casing without any damage or visual scarring on the face glass so far. The bright orange silicone strap adds to it's ergonomic feel along with its stylish steel housing and casing. I am more than satisfied with it's rugged functioning to date in all manner of extreme and hostile environments I find myself in. I fell in love with this watch as soon as I saw it in the the shop window and it still impresses me when I glance at it. My only criticism of this time piece if any and its a very minor one, is its that the silicone strap end tail does tend to snag back and catches on clothing sleeves, cuffs etc due to its non slip grippy texture. That said I can live with this minor irritation as the watch is reliable and a dream to wear. It draws favourable comments and envious glances from friends who spot it on my wrist . I say get one if you are an active outdoor type and you will not be disappointed.
