I went ahead and got this watch awhile back from one of the online retailers for $100 more than what Massdrop is selling for. Mind you the other Combat color schemes typically go for $399 so the GE is fetching more or being charged more for, depending on how you look at it.
The pics do the bezel no justice, this is the darker view of the bezel as it really shifts in color with lighting. It's not a bronze/brown color but changes between this and gold -- it is actually mostly gold in direct lighting. The strap is quality, I would suggest getting the actual canvas/leather strap and just buying a nato strap for $20 somewhere if you want to try that out. I don't think you can get that strap for $20 but a nato-style strap is easily had for cheap.
The watch wears thin for a combat, will fit under dress shirts fine. Looks great in all occasions! When holding the watch, it feels a little light and well, thin. Although sitting on the wrist or looking from a 3rd person it's a handsome looking watch.
My only gripe about the watch is the feel and click of the bezel, it is cheap feeling. Of course you're not going to be adjusting the thing nor are you actually going to go diving with this so not a problem there. When you turn the bezel, not only is there play/movement before clicking over, the amount of steps/clicks is low. The click sound kind of sounds cheap too. Again, you're not going to be using this feature while wearing more of something you set in the morning if the bezel has moved throughout wear.
At this price it's a no brainer really, a handsome watch at a great price. The canvas strap wears out rather easily as well, so maybe save those for the occasions and rock this with a nato strap off the bat. Get one!
