New last night. Wearing it today to decide if it is a keeper. I really like it. I just recently sold my automatic version in this series, needed the money from several watches to help pay for my daughters wedding. This quartz model is significantly cheaper. I like the thicker size of the 7750 version, but I prefer the black case and overall styling of this one, I think. Of course with a quartz no exhibition back, so I'll miss that a bit. But at the lower price it is probably a keeper. I'll probably decide in the next couple of days.

Very legible at a glance. Unique design. Sapphire crystal, 50m water resistance, unique magnifier. The band design is not very flexible. Note in the photos that that the watch stand up on its band when you put it down. It seems comfortable for me but a friend sold his because the shape never fit his wrist correctly.

Not Rubber. I'm guessing that it is anodized steel.

41mm 8 to 2 oclock. Certainly smaller than you prefer.

I looked at the watch many times today. But when I looked at it at 5 minutes before 4pm, I realized it was the first time that I actually used to to check the time.

I like it. But it is not paid for yet. I'm broke so to pay for it I will have to sell something. I have thinned out my collection by a dozen or so lately so whatever I sacrifice to get this will be a watch that I might miss. But I'm thinking that's what I'll have to do.

I see what you mean about the shape of the bracelet.

It would not work for me as I like a more oval shape or a bracelet/strap that conforms to my wrist better.

Ejoy your new watch!

It has some flex but it is limited. The bracelet wraps around the shape of wrist perfectly. I wore it for 12 hours straight today and it's quite comfortable. Probably the biggest problem would be for people with boney wrists.
