I bought this watch on a cruise ship less than 1 week ago for $600 USD. Already after 5 days of light use, it has three scratches in the raised mineral crystal. I was told it was sapphire by the sales rep and without an internet connection I couldn't do my own research. My mistake. I'd normally never spend that kind of money on a watch with a scratch prone crystal. The satellite feature is very cool and works great but If I can't see the hands than what's the point? Also the hands can't be easily seen at night, much worse than my older E650.
Only one drawback. Difficult to see the hands as blue does not contrast much with black face.
This is a great watch. I absolutely love the size, appearance, and weight of the watch. My only gripe is that the watch does not automatically set itself when you enter a new time zone. You have to push buttons...
Beautiful watch. Easy to read Easy to use. I absolutely love this watch. Perfect size Perfect weight.
