Ditto.

I definitely agree with the end link issue, just seems lazy and sloppy, and that's what would bug me about this watch. Although, I still like the watch and would like to own one. I'm inclined to say that the SD43 seems like a much cleaner, better executed package. But perhaps the SD4K's quirks will render it collectable and desirable (neither of which are of any interest to me).
