Okay, so I’ve been eyeing the Zenith Defy Extreme for a while. It’s a beast of a watch, and I finally decided to pull the trigger and get some hands-on experience with it. Here’s how it went down.
Getting Started
First things first, I unboxed this thing. The presentation is pretty impressive, felt like I was opening some top-secret gadget. I took the watch out, and man, it’s got some serious heft to it. You definitely feel it on your wrist, not in a bad way, just… substantial.
Playing Around with the Features
The next thing, obviously I had to start messing with the chronograph. That 1/100th of a second hand is crazy! It zips around the dial so fast, it’s almost a blur. I spent a good chunk of time just starting, stopping, and resetting it, over and over. I had to see the mechanism in action, it is very cool to watch it.
I also tested out the different straps. It’s nice that they give you some options. I swapped between the rubber strap and the bracelet, it’s pretty easy to do with the quick-change system, I could see myself to change it according the days.
Actually Wearing It
After the initial excitement, I actually wore the watch for a few days, you know, in real-life situations. Took it to work, wore it out to dinner, just generally lived with it. It’s definitely a conversation starter. People notice it. And honestly, it performed great. Kept perfect time, felt comfortable, even with its size. I also went for some activities without being worried to damage it, and it had not a single scratch.
Final Thoughts
So, after all that playing around and wearing, I’m super impressed. It’s a solid watch, no doubt about it. I had so much fun with it, especially because it offers three differents straps that are easy to switch.
