Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but I think this 44.5mm Electric diver fits fine on my 6.5” wrist.
I am impressed with how uniform the brushing is, even over the lugs’ complex curve. I freaking love the smooth seconds hand (3 ticks per second?). The minute hand jumps, too — 3 times per minute — like on a Casio ana-digi. One gripe is that the minute hand doesn’t jump exactly at 0, 20 and 40 secs — it’s about two secs late. The manual doesn’t show a way to reset this, so maybe the second hand just wasn’t set right. No big deal. The robez details don't uniformly align with the case details, which you can see in the photos below. I haven't tested the lume, but so far it's meh at best.
This thing is boss without being bossy. I hate to say this, but it makes my Samurai look fussy and (this pains me) affected.
One big concern for me is that it doesn’t appear to use spring bars. Its bars (including the buckle) look stout enough to pose a safety hazard. If a piece of equipment caught the watch/strap it could mess you up before *something* gave way. Anyhow, easy to fix by replacing the strap.

View from the caseback. Easier to see without the bubble crystal.

That's pretty neat. That heart detail is pretty cool
