This is like the American version of the Altichron but titanium so lighter and better loom and strap. Reasons why I like this watch so much: -It is unique ! very few people have this in America. -It is light! no worries about hurting your wrist like the Stainless steel version since it is so big . I play tennis with it. run.. bike.. no issues , I don't even know it is there. -It looks premium! the Fake leather cordura strap looks like a top end strap but it is more resistant to wear and of course very resistant to water so no worries about getting it wet.the fake leather part that sits in the back of the watch adds a touch of elegance to it and ruggedness. -It has an accurate compass. I had to perform the 2 step compass adjustment (super easy to do) since it was tunned for Japan. but ever since it is dead on. -Altimeter is a bit hard to read but doable. but then again how many times you are going to be reading an altimeter on a daily basis. and it was the only way to do it with an analogic face and still be accurate and have great range. -It is Solar and light powered. -It has a rotating bezel so you can find orientations easier while navigating with it. -200 meter water resistance means you can do anything short of scuba dive with it( you may be able to but without a screw down crown and big buttons why risk it) some free diving and snorkeling will be fine as well as swimming and jet skiing . -Lume is fantastic, it even has lume on the bezel. the face almost fully illuminates when charged. -Unlike the American version this one has Sapphire crystal so no scratches on the glass. -things that could had been done better: -An English manual would had been nice.(although I understand it is for the japanese market only) -A back light .. no idea why no eco drive has back lights. maybe it has something to do with the solar tech? -A bit Bulky.you may be banging it on door frames and around stuff.. -Strap can be hard to put on and off due to the keeper's holding mechanism and the stiffness of the cordura band. not a big deal but it just makes it a bit harder to remove.Read full review
