3 adjectives for the TechnoMarine Cruise Steel

With just a few days left for this review, I took a few minutes and jotted down the three most recurrent adjectives I have used to describe this watch.

COMFORT - for me, this is due to two key things - first the strap - a very soft, yet very strong rubber strap that dovetails quite nicely into the watch case itself.  Keep in mind that this is quite a large watch case, but it sits quite well on the wrist.  The design of the strap and case cause the strap to appear more integral than added.

VISIBILITY - this is a very reader friendly watch face.  Much like other more recent chronographs, TechnoMarine has clearly spent a lot of time and thought on the orientation of the watch face.  The Sub Dials are clearly indicated, and the use of alternating blue and black enhances this.  In addition, the partially skeletonized hour and minute hands are also a plus.

FUN - C'mon!  This is a fantastically fun watch!  I've said it before - I've been smiling every day since it arrived!

I have had a few requests for prices, retail locations, etc.  Stay tuned!

Blue

I have to take a moment to comment on the packaging and goodies that came with the Steel Cruise.

Of course the standard items of warranty card, pillow, etc.  But it also comes with an alternative strap - blue in this case, and a truly well made screw-driver/strap changer.  More on that later.

So come on - it's going to be a GREAT DAY!

And here in the US it is election day.  While I know that politics can get us all emotional - as you're going about your day today try to remember this one piece of advice that my grandmother always reminded me of - We can disagree without being disagreeable!
