Heavy metal, literally

By Abby Turner, Melbourne ยท

45 mm, 13 mm thick, a 24 mm steel bracelet, and the whole thing feels like a paperweight. I tried picturing this on a twelve-hour shift and my wrist started aching in sympathy.

It looks tough, I'll give it that, and the black dial is fine for reading the main time. The chrono sub-dials are fiddly though, and US$135 to $185 for a mineral crystal and a generic quartz movement isn't great value when a G-Shock will do more and weigh half as much. Gym bros only.
