I had the chance to see one of these (black dial) in person yesterday for the first time and came away very impressed. My wrist is on the smaller side so I was concerned about fit but it worked for me so much better than I thought it would. I love what they've done with the "Bond" bracelet. Looks much more "muscular" than it has in the past. Also the waves on the dial are much less noticeable in person than they appear in photos online.

I still think I prefer the previous version due to the proportions and smaller HEV and if I were buying today that would be my next watch. But seeing the new version definitely gave me some pause. I think the Sub has it on proportions and no "wart" but it's tough to say the Sub beats it on much else (bezel action, probably).
