I haven't seen them in the flesh, but they are all over social media. I feel a bit "meh" as they aren't really that different to the turtles.

I’ve seen the images online. I don’t know what to do with a compass bezel, and I prefer the regular turtle handset.

Not a fan of the compass bezel but I will check it out when my AD gets one.

likes: date at 4:30 with dial colored background
hands- I like the Turtle, but find the hands and dial indices pleasing.
possibly smaller size, although I think the regular Turtle wears on the small side.

dislikes: compass bezel. I know how to use it, but find a divers bezel more useful and attractive....

Different enough from a turtle that I might pick one up if the colorscheme appeals...

Dopey! I think it's an unnecessary offering. Tortoise? C'mon. The dumbest compass feature. I'll stick to my Alpinist.

However, I do like the dial and hands but can do away with that bezel. If a Turtle bezel fits then there are ton of mods to swap it out and make it a diver again.
