Little Metal / Lots of Information


Let me post this Sinn chronograph, showing my preferred balance between the amount of metal and the clarity (and quantity) of the information being presented. This is my favorite travel watch or my favorite watch to wear when I am tracking a second time zone (family member travelling, etc.).

: I liked this one, as a piece of metal / piece of technology / ultimate Alpha Male of the Chronomatics, but it did not pass the test for legibility / practicality. It bothered me that this watch used so much real estate (metal), but ended up with such small numbers and letters (on the GMT scale and names of cities). So you might say that I liked the watch -- in theory -- but not on my wrist, as a watch to wear and use to tell the time.

: I must admit that I have something of this same issue with the Breilting Chrono-Matic GMT, but not to the same extent. And, I prefer the design / colors / overall look of the Breitling.
