Yea. Its pretty slick. I got the upgraded U version, which isnt what I ordered but probably better. Took me a while to figure out how to work it but I like it a lot. Good call.

Have you scratched the screen all to hell yet? I was thinking about getting a screen protector. Not that I'm super concerned about it or anything. It is a lot less legible at a glance than an analog watch and I'm concerned scratching it up will make that worse. I also find the auto backlight function kinda sucks. I have to make a pretty pronounced "let me check the time" movement and hold it for a half second before it'll light up.

I wish there were more options to make it even less battery conserving. It's supposed to have 10 months of reserve from a full charge, and I'm used to about 2 days of reserve from mechanicals. It's a non-issue for me, for the last 20 years I've just owned one primary watch and basically never took it off. This one came out the box with the battery indicating low, was on high by the end of the day, and hasn't come off high since. I wish the backlight could be configured for ultra dim and switched on/off with the light button. That's really my only gripe with it, I wish the backlight function were more configurable to my specific needs. It's nitpicking though, so far it's awesome and I wish I had gotten one a long time ago. I had an instinct tactical and the display and backlight were a lot better than this, but also costs 5x as much and it was a smartwatch, which I don't like and have no desire to own.

Again, nitpicking. I like it and it'll be on my wrist until I either win the lottery or destroy it.

As a guy who has two types of cases on his phone and still breaks one every year... Not a single scratch on the watch screen.
