A few impressions. Very light feeling on the arm as I had been wearing a Reactor Meltdown for a few weeks. I like the size, not too big but very readable. So far, its been extremely accurate when checked wth NIST time.

One thing I do not like is the rubber band as the keepers do not stay in place at all. I miss the Reactor style keeper! The band is slated to be replaced with a Hadely -Roma leather band and deployant clasp.

Would love to hear others thoughts on their F1's.

The F1 is a great watch, has good accuracy, my F1 came with the bracelet and I like the fact that is not that heavy, I think this watch would look great with a leather band, which I am looking for as well, still I would also like to get the rubber band also. here's a pic of mine

No wrist pics yet but when I return home next week, the leather band should be there and I will take some the watch and band together. I picked a black band with red stitiching and edges. Hoping it looks good. I went with leather as I already have plenty of watches that I can get wet..LOL

And love the orange face on yours.

The new F1's with rubber straps have a deployant style clasp that seem to be a bit better. Maybe see if you can get one for yours.

Enjoy as TAGs are fantastic.

Finally got some shots.

Love the Hadley Roma band and deployant catch. Ordered it from Global Watchbands and was very pleased with price and service, came with the deployant installed and new springbars.
