Very disappointing

I bought this a week ago and put it on my wrist and it sits like a rock tied to a thread . The watch is to heavy to be supported by the 16mm strap. It’s definitely a design flaw, also something feels cheap about the bezel, the push down function is something to get used to. I would have gone with an acrylic bezel. The watch is way to thick top heavy and clunky . The caseback is also a bit much and an unnecessary deviation from the original, I get that they wanted to stick to the original specs but they have definitely failed with the choices the made to modernize and ignore certain aspects. This watch could have been so amazing. We won’t even get into the scuba helmet vessel it comes in.
