I'll make this simple. I love the look of the watch, the features and overall construction. However the contrast of the display against the background made it difficult to see the numbers. I do not think the strap is comfortable considering, it does not seem to totally conform with my wrist. This is due to the clasp, not the strap itself. Like Jason (below), I too own a Breitling and find the strap to be superior.
The watch is handsome, I am always receiving compliments. You pay a premium for this watch regardless of the titanium.
