The best watch in the world!

I bought this watch about a week ago for a good price, and I've been marveling at it ever since. The look is beautiful, classy, perfectly techy for my taste. The watch is not too large, low profile, and light.
The fit and finish on the watch is impeccable. The strap links for example are made of 7 separate parts per link, all machined to pefection. The materials seem durable. There are no scratches or rub marks visible on the watch after a week of wearing. I notice no marks on the strap from desk diving, only rub marks on the inside where the clasp rubs the strap, but that's to be expected and not visible on the outside. I guess the hardening on the titanium is doing its job. The sapphire crystal should be quite scratch resistant.
As far as technical features, I love the solar and atomic features which make it maintenance free (for a long time at least) and never having to set the time. I can easily set world time for my travel destinations and swap between home and away. I don't need any other frivolous features and this watch doesn't have many. For example it doesn't have an alarm feature.
My only gripe with the watch is that the second hand doesn't tick in timekeeping mode, only the lower subdial second hand moves. What genius came up with that design decision?? Idiotic if you ask me. At the very least it should be programmable. -1 for Casio and all other watchmakers who do this. Fix it! My workaround is to have the stopwatch always running, but I lose the day of the week indicator.
But I can get past that one gripe and the rest of the watch is just... awesome! This is THE ONLY watch for me, all other watches have more serious drawbacks.
