These aren't divers, but they look kind of cool and feature the first curved chronograph movement.

Not my style. The model in the top picture is interesting to look at. The open case/lugs goes well with the hands. Case and button shape works well together. I'm thinking the blue hand in the sub dial maybe not the best choice.

Love 'em. The 10 +/- second per year accuracy of the Precisionist movement doesn't suck either.

Not really my cup of tea, but at least they're trying something new.

I kinda like them, if a bit Salvador Dali-ish

I don't really care for the execution, but I like the idea. I've had a lot of watches that would've been much better if the case was slightly curved. These would disappear on the wrist with a titanium case.

Not for me but they are better than a ton of the other shit out there. But that is not saying much.

Back when I use do quite a bit of running (no the cops weren't behind me), my favorite watch was curved like this, it was a beater Timex I think. I could wear the one with the red accents for sure.

I'm looking forward to see some of these in the flesh.

That looks like the version I was considering a while back; looks sharp.

Haven’t seen one in the flesh but they look really sharp and modern to me. Bulovas 262 movement has proven to be quite accurate. Know two pals with the Apollo 15 and they claim near haq accuracy.

I like where bulova has been trending recently but wish the Apollo 15 was smaller lug-to-lug (hence why one of my buddy owns one).
