nice shots bro!!
Thats what i experience with my sub aswell indeed. The explorer lays much flatter on the wrist and cause absolutely no itching over the day.. But the submariner does at some point

I would agree that the Explorer II is incredibly comfortable. Especially with the flat bezel it is incredibly easy to wear everywhere. I would also agree that for those reasons it's a tiny bit more comfy than sub (but not 20 :D).

My wrist tends to itch a bit after an hour or 5-6 of wearing the sub..

Honestly, if you find the sub a little uncomfortable, you will likely find the SD43 even more uncomfortable. IMHO

Thickness aside, in my experience there's very little in in in terms of the surface area of your wrist that each watch occupies.

Interesting thread. I tried the Exp2 polar on the other day an it didnt do a lot for me ... size wise I felt it wore much like a submariner, or even more like a GMT.

Agreed 100% regarding how it wears.
