Most of my watches run large, 42mm+, which is a good case for having something on the sleeker side, some variety.... But, it's also shows that I tend to LIKE larger watches and can wear them, for the most part. I imagine the Freak X clears a cuff very eas...

Freak X is a good choice. Much more user friendly on the wrist - and it cost quite a lot less

I went for the Freak Out.

Having handled both, I would say they are different and not a fair comparison. The Freak X has close resemblance in overall "look" to the Freak but concedes in a number of technical aspects. The carrousel tourby, the bezel time setting, case back winding ...
