I absolutely love my watch.

I choose the chronorgraph as I frequently use this function to time my swims and other exercises I do on a fairly regular basis.

Like you, I was concerned about the weight and thickness of the piece, but I was very surprised how quickly I got used to wearing it (probably only 24 - 48 hours). My old watch was a Citizen, which was much thinner and a lot lighter as it was titanium but I didn't have any trouble changing from one to the other.

I am not a particularly big guy, but it sits very well on my wrist. I think it's very well balanced.

I have become so accustomed to wearing it that I am sometimes surprised when I take it off and I feel it's weight in the other hand!!!

I can't comment about the 3303 movement, but if I were you I wouldn't let the watch's weight
or thickness put you off.

Cheers, Darren
