Here's mine:
It's titanium, so it's very light. I used to wear it on a Kevlar strap, but the loops came apart, and I went back to the bracelet. |

I had this for few years. Loved it a lot, particularly the audible alarm tone.

Here's mine:
My wife runs a string competition for elementary through high school and I am the official timer on the last day of the competition. I love the X-33's countdown timer. It starts beeping at the 5 sec to go mark and has a nice loud sustained tone at the "0" mark. The performers know it's time to stop when they hear that tone.

I kick myself for not buying one when i had the chance.About 5-7 years ago,Macy's was getting/kicked out of the Omega business,and they had a X-33 for 20-30% off sticker at their Oakbrook Illinos store.i always admired that watch,but at the time the only large purchase i made was for an Omega seamster pro in 1998-99,so it seemed like a lot of money at the time.Just a year or so later i purchased my first Rolex(16610),and the rest is history.

Interesting watch. Some people complain they can't read the time or date clearly. They should buy this watch. Congrats.
