Iwc 3227 ?

Anyone here own the IWC Ingenieur 3227 on the stainless steel bracelet? Just wandering if this is a comfortable watch on the wrist?

Thanks!

very comfortable as long as you size it right the 209g are barely noticeable.

Depends if you like big watches. I tried on this model at the AD and thought it was a comfortable shape, but way thicker than I am used to. It felt kind of like a hockey puck.

Thanks!
The 3227 is the discontinued version of the Ingenieur line. That watch in particular sits nice on the wrist and not heavy at all. I own both a 3227 and a 3236. The 3236 is the bulky and heavy one, not the 3227. The 3236 (Ingenieur Mission Earth) is an amazing watch. I like it better than my 3227.

It has some great modifications and being able to switch from bracelet to rubber strap is just great.

Here are some pics.

OK I do not like the Ing.
Don't know why, just dont
BUT
I have tried them on, I have worn friends
and I will tell you they are a very comfortable well made watch.
If you are looking for a nice watch to wear daily and not worry about
babying it Id go for it! They can take anything you will throw at it.

The only negative is you are limited to buying other straps if you want from IWC
and they are pricey (but worth it). I went through it with my Ti Aquatimer.

It's on IWC, it's going to be a comfortable watch to wear. In my opinion, IWC makes the most comfortable bracelets and straps in the business, by far.
