Will also look at the GTS-B200 as well. Cheaper alternative to the gravitymaster, better for me. Thinner in depth, but higher in lug length though. After owning the Kamasu and wearing it for a month daily, I don't think it is for me. Don't like top heavy watches. Reminds me of my Timex Explorer at almost the same weight 150-180 gm (on stock bracelet) which is 17 mm tall. Wiggling the watch makes it loose. My 20 year old Timex T6 explorer compass sits more in the watchbox now than on my wrist. Which defeats the purpose of cherishing it. Granted that was the only watch I used for 15 years (before smartphones and I needed an inbuilt compass). Now it just keeping for memory's sake.

Maybe divers are not for me. Rotating bezel which I will not use. Smaller dial because of the bezel. Weight, I tend to use watches which <100 gms more often. Thickness of the watch because of the WR of 200m, which to be fair, I'm not going to go anywhere near 10 m of depth. Which is why the Casio GA-2100 is so much nicer/makes sense. Since I'm working a desk job, a watch too thick also looks out of place on a small wrist. Cannot wear long sleeve shirts. To me, a watch has to serve a function first, rather than looks. Looks are a bonus. At the end of the day, that is the watch which you will always gravitate to without thinking.

One thing about divers is it sure look nice though. If I had a bigger wrist, and I don't mind getting this diver inspired Casio MTP-S110 watch.

Found it here:

You can call them one. Alignment is ok, but not sure if the charging bit they have the tools.

But I generally send my Seiko's there.
