Same here, I'm hoping between the materials, wr, and the shock protection this makes for a legit great sports watch for everyday wear. I've already taken it hiking, fishing, camping, and even a couple days of firearms testing and evaluation with some military suppliers (full auto toys!) and it hasn't even picked up a scratch yet. FWIW, the led lighting system is way too bright if you are wearing night vision
I didn't really consider the yellow sub since that color just wasn't for me but agree on the finish durability. I don't mind scratches in raw metal but my OCD isn't okay with scratches through a colored finish showing a different color underneath.
