Thanks for the feedback, reaction and comments everyone.

@JAFO I will try to get some images of the two Dartmouths side by side once my original one is returned. The only real difference is in the colouring of the bezel insert markers - my second, standard one has tinted colour printing on all the markings on the bezel insert, while my prototype one has silver/white printing. Ok, not a huge difference, but significant enough for me, especially when I know that my prototype has just one identical twin in the whole world!

@Amor Vincit Omnia I know what you mean about one watch when travelling. I always take a watch with me when on holiday, but don’t always wear it every day. I certainly leave my Garmin at home! At these times, fitness/health/sleep tracking can naff off and “ish-o’clock” is usually good enough for me!

@JamesH I will try to get some macro photos of the watch before I gift it away. I’ve tried not to intentionally baby it, and it has knocked against various objects. However, it was bought “Nearly New” so was not utterly pristine when it arrived.

Keep well, all,
C

I take a watch I can happily wear 24/7, but it was the “ish” aspect that I enjoyed most on my last trip. Fitness, health and sleep tracking can naff off any time for me.
