In Response To: TAG Kirium F1 or Omega X-33? *LINK* *PIC* ()

Mark,

Bit of a tough choice for you, but I would go for the X-33 if I were to choose. Its design seems to have a little more 'personality'. I find the Kirium F1 a little cold looking. However, the F1 sits a little sleeker on the wrist. Speaking of wrists, if you have a small one (wrist, that is), you might find that you will have trouble getting a comfortable fit from an F1. You see, the bracelet doesn't hang down from the case like most watches. It flairs out slightly and no matter how many links are removed, it may not sit just right. Try before you buy. I have seen too many customers purchase this watch only to find that it does not fit properly after adjustment. If they were my customers, I would not have sold them this watch.
As for readability, the Kobold is hard to beat. But just to throw a gentle spanner in the works, have you considered a Breitling Aerospace? Looks great in the dark. Just like some people I've met in my time.
