Nearly perfect, for me.
I was slow to warm to the watch, but I've found the 5980 the watch I most frequently select for the day or for one-watch travel. It is completely comfortable, even during sleep, has excellent lume, runs as accurately as any watch I've owned, and looks appropropriate in any settng other than those calling for battle dress utilities or black tie.
While I find the Royal Oak Chronograph a more architecturally beautiful watch, the 5980's date window is more legibile, the monocounter equally readable, the bracelet more flexible, and the brushed surfaces a bit more protected from scratching. I'm also a fan of the Royal Oak Offshore, but it is not as versatile as the 5980 or ROC, even though it looks better with short sleeves.

Thank you for the great comments and useful comparison
I had actually tried on the ROC several times as well and the chrono comparison is an apt one. Thanks for the great feedback and enjoy the 5980!

Best everyday watch
This is my only bracelet watch, it was intended mostly for vacations but it turned out to become my favorite everyday watch. And, together with some friends. Sorry for the poor quality of the picture....
I am in the minority as....
I own the black dial version..... But I agree with the other owners... An excellent choice.... sporty yet elegant... The chrono may run continuously without affecting timekeeping.... Extremely comfortable on the wrist and a stunning dial... Good luck deci...
Go for it!
The watch grows on you and is really comfortable to wear. Most importantly. it fits under the cuff and looks great with short sleeves as well Good luck on your decision!...
I agree with most of the other comments...
about the watch; it is very comfortable to wear in a formal or informal setting. At night it is very legible. Probably the thing I like the most is that I can use the chrono seconds hand as a constant seconds hand without fear of the watch becoming inaccu...
