Those small hour markers mean less surface area for lume paint, which means poorer lume performance. Same for those hands. Now I'm no lume junkie, but a 500m dive watch should be a functional dive watch IMHO. So I think they should be longer hashes or wider... but that's just my $.02

Other than that, I think it's pretty dang cool.

The lume is coming from Lum Tec so it should be super bright.....

Oh I've nothing but respect for Lum Tec - but I still think they would be better served withslightly larger hour markers

All HEXA products are "clean sheet" designs. Every component of the K500 was designed to fulfill a specific purpose.

I might be in the minority, but I really am not a fan of the case design.

The dial is average, but it is the strange uneven outer case design that is not attractive to me. Just being different is not always a good thing.

JMHO.Yep...100% behind your assessment!
