I wish they had kept it at 40mm.

The Evo is not as tall as your Skyracer, but pretty much the same size and proportions otherwise.

Sure, but I guess I put digital watches in a different class from automatics.

One thing where my Skyracer kills the Evo - I can check the chrono and read the date at the same time.

How many times/day do you check the date? :poke:

The size of the Evo is completely unnecessary and handicaps the model's primary purpose as a tool watch. The size seems even more unnecessary when you find out how small the movement is. Breitling went backwards on this one.

Probably at least 5-10 times on a work day. I don't need to remember it because it's always there on my watch... so long as I'm not wearing an Aerospace...

No great surprise I guess, but I much prefer the larger dimensions of the Evo.

Dammit, I cannot believe I bought a quartz watch. Even a "superquartz", I am an automatic man from way back, but this thing just spoke to me, love the weight, functions, and the way it fits. I'm new to the professional series, and was not aware of the functionality. Very useful. Plus the wife insisted. :)

Any feedback on the comfort of the titanium bracelet?

Cheers!
