I traded for it (not on a whim, but I was rolling the dice). It has become one of my favorites very quickly. Famous last words, I know. I will see how I feel about it in a month or two... but early indications are it is almost everything I want in a watch. It is perfectly simple... and it might also be simply perfect.

Thanks for the replies 😀. To grab the Black Friday pricing, I put the order through already. I ended up going with B. I like A just about as much as B, but it is considerably thinner (2.7mm flat vs 6-2.5mm wedge). I had a few thinnish leather straps and put them on the Ranger tonight and they seemed just a touch thin. I may have picked the wrong one... but you gotta roll the dice sometimes.

I have many of those and am picking up more. I'd like a couple good leather options as well.

It might be worth the experiment...
