When I first looked at this watch I basically underestimated the quality.
Rip Curl do have a good reputation, granted - however I've never really been a fan. I bought the thing on a wim anyway after breaking my other watch. Now that I have the watch after only a couple of days waiting for delivery which I found to be quite a bonus for my lifestyle, I am pleasantly surprised. Although it may look complex - it certainly is a damn good watch to have. It's very accurate and is very useful if you're a sporty person too. My only negative point really is that it is a little hard to see the digits in some lights - but I can cope!
