It’s a marathon and not a sprint! Unfortunately I have been known to sprint and that’s a mistake.

Love it!
Makes sense !
Cool one !
Let us know in three months what you think of this watch. I own it and have mixed feelings. Is it attractive? Yes. Is it a strap monster? Yes. Is it well proportioned? Yes. But is it functionally useable as a chrono? Highly debatable. The legibility is sorely lacking. I wear it more as jewelry now than a Chronograph and am now considering a different, legible chrono since I find I use that functionality more than I thought I would.

I loved my speedtimer when I first got it. It’s a relatively well made very attractive looking watch which suited my black rally style strap very well. I also liked the 39mm size as it suited my slim wrist perfectly.
However, over time aspects of it began to bug me. The purple(ish) sub dials, the very small 6 o/clock sub dial, unnecessary F/E gauge and the deep set, small date position.
I sold the watch after a couple of months of owning it, it was incredibly easy to sell due to its obvious popularity.
I hope the OP continues to enjoy his new watch because, as I said, it really is a looker.
