I came here to ask if it's normal that the red chrono second hand is offset by two seconds to the left of 12 and found all the answers I needed already here; thanks guys. I'll repost the link to the user guide so it's easier to find for new comers:

Band - Yes, the band is large (long?). It's like it's meant to be worn over a wet suit it's so long. I took all of the small links out for it to fit; I may add one back on.
Alarm - Yes, I think the alarm is loud. I just figured out how to set it (thanks to this page) and tested it and am satisfied with its volume being able to wake me up in normal conditions. Don't forget to set the reference time so that the alarm goes off at the right time. Also, it only works within a 12 hour window.
