Well today I received my Red Sea Six Pounder #31/75 in stainless.

My initial impressions:

What I like:
Straight-forward, clean tool diver
Offset crown
Lumed bezel
Blue lume...OoooooAhhhhh
Extra straps
Nice travel case

What I'm not too keen on:
At 44mm it is smaller than I am more used to, although I am recovering from watch envy where almost every watch I bought was around 50mm. (I like the way they look but I don't like the way they wear. They just aren't practical as an all day wear. Attest to the callous on the back of my hand.) I think 45mm to 46mm is perfect for me.
The bracelet does not have half links and the clasp has only 2 fine adjustment holes and is sans a divers extension. I really don't care about the divers extension or the half links but give me a clasp with fine adjustments equal to 3/4 the length of one link.

Overall I am very glad I made the leap for the Red Sea. Josh and Troy did a phenomenal job. I am excited to see what they come up with next.

Thanks for indulging me.

Enjoy the pics and video.

Hi Mark!

Thanks so much for a fantastic photo review!!

Could I ask a favor? I'd like to feature this review on our home page. When I "promote" this article to the home page CMS, the system will take the first picture in the article and that will be the "preview photo." With this in mind, could you take one of your better photos, and add it to the front of the article?

Awesome little write up and great photos, Mark! The unveiling video was fun, too. I liked how your lume shot photo still had some light to see the rest of the watch - it showcases how bright that lume is. What camera and lens combo are you are you shooting with?

We also appreciate the feedback on the bracelet - it is something that we're addressing for our next release. It'll be a new clasp with more micro adjustments, a different mechanism, and a diver extension. We're thrilled with our first release and want to make our next even better.

Thanks for posting and enjoy your Six Pounder :thumbup1:

I too have a Six Pounder and the clasp is the only thing that I don't like about the watch. Besides what has been said, I find it to have sharp edges that irritate my arm when I take it off. Great review and photos of an excellent watch.
