For all its greater refinement, this is still a watch, once you get it on, that calls for some time in the field and I hope at least some of these get out there link and get wet link and dirty; they're built for link it, after all. As wonderful as SLA033 is as an exercise in nostalgia, and while it's impossible to see it and not think of its (comparatively) cheap and cheerful predecessor, it also stands on its own as an extremely well-made modern sports watch.
