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.

I just DIY and battery change on my Emergency. Its not too too bad. But I understand its not for everyone. It was a fun job to change the batteries (for me).
