But at a watchmaking event in SF last year, they had it out for display for the participants. And in the metal, it took me completely by surprise in steel. I really like the look of the dial in blue, and as someone never really looking at PCs before, this one somehow grabs me and holds on. I am in full agreement the case back should be closed. Living in a warmer climate now, the bracelet/rubber versatility is very appealing.
