Striking Blue Face and…

This watch is uncomplicated and elegant - it tells the time. No bells or whistles; but frankly, it doesn't need them. It makes a bold statement all on its own.
Beautifully designed, with a very striking blue face – made more prominent set as it is against black and with the very distinctive indices. As the face is oversized it is easy to read day, or night. Exquisitely simple to set the time, without needing a degree in engineering.
If I had been designing it, I personally would not have added white notes to the hour and minute hands whilst leaving the second hand black. But that does not detract from its overall appeal and ease of use.
I am not a fan of the silicone strap. Albeit not uncomfortable at first use, that swiftly changes. During wear, it rather makes the skin beneath it begin to sweat a little and it becomes (and looks) quite dirty, very quickly.
The watch itself even looked slightly grubby (as is evidenced in the pictures) when being taken from its box.
It came with a rather substantial miniature Diesel Book – but though cute and quirky, it is just 200 plus pages of instructions and warranty information (in 14 languages).
I am not a fan of the way it is presented. At first glance it appeared to have a very colourful, robust and sturdy box. Upon closer inspection, however, the box is made from pressed paper and cardboard and is unlikely to stand up to the rigours of time and use.
