I do see the website has been updated
I did ask my local boutique about the watch and they said they might not have it in till mid 2020. Has anyone else seen the watch at their boutique?
Thank you.

A 3 ATM test is a theoretical pressure test. The watch industry generally says that 3 ATM test is equivalent to shower prof. There has been a lot of posts about this issue in the past. I suggest you do a forum search. You can also read a good post by Mike...

and I too welcome the rubber less version.... even though I think I prefer the size of the earlier line sport... wr on a sport watch should be at the very minimum 5atm but ideally 10atm... otherwise I find it difficult to categorize as sports... but that ...

I also like the more simple expression without rubber. What I would also love to see is improvement on the water resistance. It would be a “nice to have” for piece of mind. This watch is so light and comfortable. I can definitely see a potential for it. I...

Hi Christian, thank u for the wonderful and informative post! Are u familiar with the coating on these watches in regards to technique (PVD, anodized?) and durability or scratch ability? Although I enjoy the appearance of darker coatings, I have always be...
Good question

I have had the same concern and I asked about it at the manufacture. The Titalyt is not a coating but similar to oxidation of the surface metal where it becomes very hard. So the grey goes in to the titanium. I asked how scratch resistant it is. I was als...

It is quite possible it was lost in translation but when I asked the staff whether it was a surface treatment I was told it was an alloy and the color of the metal would be same even inside... on a bracelet watch these things can matter as the metal parts...

With FPJ no one knows. And if you propose or ask something he will always say no! He has his own winding roads. I will not dare to say no. I think his watches are more sporty chic, than proper sportswatches. I think a rotating bezel is more in line with a...
