I love the idea of this watch but not the execution. I'm an engineer and I just love odd complications and technical achievements. I had the older emergency and was lucky enough to sell it before they stopped using that frequency.

I've tried on the new one and although I love big watches and even bigger ones the Emergency II just didn't feel right to me. It was light but somehow the lug shape just didn't fit me. It was very uncomfortable.

Then there's the battery. I mostly got rid of the old style because changing the battery is a PITA, even if you don't sent it back and have a 3rd party do it.

The new one is rechargeable. Great! Oh but you still need to send it back every few years to get a new battery anyways.... not great....

Maybe next time the Emergency 3 will be more appealing for me.
