Let's be honest, you only started this sub collection just because you wanted to justify to yourself to buy Aerospace and a G Shock 🙂
I had this urge to get the Aerospace but given it hasn't been updated for like 15 years I always feel that the new one will be released tomorrow which forces me not to buy it today...
G shocks I have few and trying to stop buying more but they make it difficult
18cm, so around 7 inches.
The lug to lug on this watch is quite compact at 46mm so it can wear quite nice on a wide range of wrist sizes, especially with the rubber and leather straps! The braclet wears slightly larger as the first links don't articulate straight down but honestly if your wrist is 16cm and above you shouldn't have much of an issue
Hey sorry I'm late I doing some intense travelling for work. See some snaps from last night. It's quite interesting that the blue dial takes a completely different color and aesthetics when it's angled.
I'll see if I can get some in the sunlight later!
Love this watch
FC Highlife Chrono is an amazing watch, its in my opinion one of the most best kept secrets ~$3k with the brand being one of the most underappreciated for the value for money and quality that they push out (they have perpetual calendars, beautiful tourbillons too).
A lot of people writing comments here have likely never even seen it in person - I wasn't able to see one in London and had to take a leap of faith when I ordered mine via a dealer. I have to echo some comments I read here, and I completely agree with these - Omega / Tudor are more POPULAR brands, it doesn't mean that they are BETTER or produce HIGHER quality products.
My FC has quickly become the most worn watch in my collection (have a Speedy, Rolex Day Just, a few Breitlings, Zenith CMS, and of course G-Shocks). This is because on quality its mostly on par with every other luxury brand yet its extremely versatile and if its get stolen I wont cry about it and instead get a new one while saving my wrist from being chopped off! I received the most complements on it too.
I suggest you get the blue limited edition panda and not this black panda. That one comes with steel bracelet, leather and rubber straps. The date window also matches the dial. The one you have only comes with steel bracelet and rubber.
The finishing is top notch, bracelet hugs your wrist nicely if you can get the fit just right. Quick change allows you to rock any of the three straps non stop. The pushers are best in class. Its so compact too, even though its 14mm thick, because of its rounded edge design with lug to lug around 46mm from memory. The fact that you don't have a tachymeter or a dive bezel oozes pure class and makes it a very versatile luxury watch - dress or sport watch. Not to mention 60h power reserve! Have a look at the links below, there are quite a few other reviews out there too.

You can get it relatively cheaply too as most of them are 20% below the retail price, I got it mine for GBP2.5k but you can get them as low as GBP2.3k here in UK (thats including the 20% VAT!).
They missed Bell & Ross Br05 which is an obvious choice.
New 2023 (unreleased but rumoured) Breitling Aerospace Evo hopefully. Seems something an action spy should wear especially as actual spy's do.
