The flipping mechanism is also incredibly addicting to play with and I play with it subconsciously far more than I would like to admit. Then there’s the rectangular case, it just feels perfect on the wrist, the crown never digs in the skin thanks to the smaller surface area. I also didn’t think it would match clothes that well, but it does. Sometimes it’s near black, sometimes it’s burgundy, and when under the sun it’s blood red.
