Gold. Always believe in your soul
Because my soul told me I'd like this very unusual watch (for me, and I guess in general) and it was right! So far.
I've been told to post this here. I rarely venture out of central so here you go - bought a couple of weeks ago.
Great fun, functional, well finished, this thing makes me smile (though, I did say that about my bronze oris, which is up for sale). I hope it stays around, I think it will, though I suspect I'll reach for my rubber 5610 for sports.
The connected app has a cool find your phone feature when you press a button on the watch and it rings your phone, but you need a permanent Bluetooth connection, which is inconvenient.
Thats it! Any questions fire away.

Love it!!! What are your thoughts on the weight? I like it very much, but I have seen some say it wears heavy

Yeah pretty much. Maybe not in the er case of cases, but in bracelets almost certainly. I hate bad bracelets! This is not one.

And then there's me who hates everything lightweight. I like to feel I'm wearing a watch. Ages ago I bought ... something I can't remember ... with a titanium case and bracelet. I marvelled at the lightness of it. And then I wore it for a week and absolutely hated everything about it. Incidentally, that's how I got my first Diastar.

Yeah I tried on the pegalos 39 and it was so light. No fun.

I tried one of the Ti G-Squares, the TranTixxi :sp:, and I felt the same way. Sold it, bought SS, pleased!

I don't mind my light g on resin strap, don't think I'd mind a ti g. The price, however...

I accepted the price to try, but my disinterest was not based on that. It was just weight.
Oddly, I appreciate light on a strap. One of my favorite G's is my carbon fiber strap/Ti caseback model, very light. It did not work for me on a bracelet. I associate weight with bracelet quality, probably unfairly admittedly
