I have neither, but that post sums up why I vote for ST2. That said, they are both fantastic!

Fred great pictures of them both, like you I think the ST 1 & 11 both look better on bracelets.

Hopefully will get my ST11 soon to compare for real but from the pictures I've seen I think the new one is the better looking one.

some strange results here. One every other forum, blog or whatever I read the ST2 wins every time and even by a wide margin :-)

Both beauties Fred but I have to say I’m really liking the Ultraman inspired Speedy.

However I’d give up both of those for the 58!

ST2 for me. Love the touch of color. The ultraman reference is a bonus too.

First, especially if you already own a Speedy Pro. The black and white is stunning.

Almost too close to call. ST2 edges ever so slightly for me.

Would someone please explain the significance of the 3 minute tics painted orange? Perhaps that would help me make a decision on the poll.

That's how long you can stay as Ultraman when transformed.

A near tossup, but I voted for the radial dial with the awesome lume!

ST1 is taking the cake for now. Once more UM gets released into market, new owners will start coming in and tilting this race.

I originally favored the ST1, but after seeing the Ultraman on different strap and bracelet options it's the clear winner for me.
