Hi Tam,
Thanks for your comments. I didn’t find the numerals to be too small. To my eyes they were about the perfect size for this particular dial. The case does have a slight chunk factor but, on wrist, it all melts away due to the light weight and reasonable lug-to-lug. I would love to see them ditch the date (although the hopper/chute design is kind of charming) and stick a Sellita SW210 movement in there to slim down the case. Probably not going to happen.

And I suspect the hands aren’t quite as well finished as they should be.
The problem with redesigned field watches is they don’t need redesigned!
Give me a better made CWC G10. That’s all I need.
