Too small for my tastes. Looks great, though.

Halios vs. MKII

Both: quality watches with good designs

Jason: transparent about manufacturing, accepting of criticism, reliable in communications, customer service driven.

truth! jason is just good people. i had one issue (shipping a strap late) and he not only shipped it the next day, he threw in another strap as an apology.

i thought the bracelet for the tropik was decent. but the end links are a royal pain. i remember jason saying when they came out that if people had problems putting them on, they could send watch/bracelet to him and he'd do it. but the end links were disappointing.

Jason is good people and I will be waiting to see how the blue dial turns out and how the watch compares to my Squale.

This. I'm especially pleased to see the reduction from 14mm to 12mm in height (vs. Tropik).

Maybe that's what keeps a 41mm watch from feeling small.

Why is it that everyone loves a Rolex sub at 40mm but balks at other 40mm watches?

That dial size would work and it would wear bigger, like a 42.

Small narrow bezels are key to a larger dial.
only accurate watches are interesting

I feel like this will look tiny like the Oris 40mm.
