Nice watch, Jon. And yep, I've got one, too.



Mine's the earlier version - you can easily tell the differences by the dots at 12:00. The older model (mine) has a red arrow; Jon's newer version has a white dot. The other significant difference is in the crown. The new version crown is grooved in a way that makes it easier to pull the crown out. With mine, you have to take the watch off and pull it out from the back. A little incovenient, but for most functions you don't have to pull the crown out.

I love mine, especially for the beach. The countdown timer is great for timing how long to bake on one side and the alarm is loud enough to be heard over the sound of the surf.

Enjoy yours, Jon. Wear it well.

I agree with you Padi, but apparently NASA does not agree with us. Some of the astronauts have been wearing the X-33 on recent missions (as well as G-SHOCKS). Sigh....
