- The watch arrived in a strange state. It's basically in split timing mode, which makes it seem like the chrono is not working. Pushing the 'B' (4 oclock) pusher takes it out of split timing and it works as expected.
- The chrono seconds hand is misaligned (QA must have been asleep) but it's easily fixed by following the instructions for the Ronda 5030 movement found here (PDF): https://www.ronda.ch/fileadmin/user_upload/Products/TA_BA/ba/502X_503X/BA_5021D5030D_e.pdf
- The 200m rating is suspect as the crown doesn't screw down....
- Lots of glare from the sapphire, I don't think there is any AR coating
- Lug width is 22mm
- Much lighter than expected for a watch of this size
Overall, it's very nice at this price. Super comfortable, possibly one of the most comfortable watches I own, esp. at this size. It's certainly far better finished that my Glycine Combat Sub (which I will be selling) at 1/3 of the price (yes, auto vs quartz & all that).... For a sub-$200, it's exceptional, Swiss or not, but outstanding for a Swiss made, sapphire crystal watch. Here's a gratuitous photo of me rockin' the Aquarider.... This might become my new daily beater, relegating my old Sector to mechanic/construction work only.
