I have tried them on at an AD. The 36mm model is beautiful especially the blue dial, wears nicely on the wrist, comfortable and the lug to lug is only 41mm but the case is flat and the lugs don't curve down, so if you have smaller wrists it may stick out on the wrist. Also, it has the newer H-50 movement with the nivachron balance so it is a good upgrade to their older hand-wound model. The only drawback is the mineral crystal, it is not acceptable on an $850 watch (which is quite expensive for this watch IMO)  but it is very legible, unlike their non AR coated sapphire.

The chronograph is quite bulbous, wear larger than the 40mm case and suits larger wrist better. The Intramatic chrono is more a comfortable option. But definitely try it in person. The chronos are better value for money.
