Yes, the weight is perfect. Reminder that you have it without being overbearing. Also having switched the strap from blue to brown make it even more stealth! J

Some random thoughts

Fully agree with you that the memories made with the watches are as important as the machines themselves Hope you can soon fulfill your quest with the 222! Cheers, Jerome
