Maybe I'm bias but I think the GS is superbly designed. The pushers are on the upper top of the case so its less likely to dig into your lower arm.
I wear my watches on my right wrist (I'm a south paw). When I sometimes place my hand flat on a table top with the hand perpendicular to my lower arm, I have yet to feel the pushers digging in. Never tried it on my left wrist so can't comment.
Like everyone else when I first saw and tried the watch, I thought the pushers were far too big and long. After having used the chrono, I now understand why.
The pushers are screw lockable. Upon unscrewing the pusher, it works in 2 actions. 1/2 press for ready, press fully for release or stop. GS followed the design of their 60's mechanical track stopwatches used for Olympics for this chrono. Unlike a Vj7750, the second doesn't jump when released. In conjunction with the 2 stop pusher, column wheel design,vertical clutch & the gliding second hand of the Spring Drive movt, its very smooth. When you reset the chrono, the chrono second hand swings backward slightly past the 12 marker into the 58th min mark then settles back at 12 perfectly aligned. Something like the IWC Rattrapante.
Since you're in S'pore if you know Dr Bernard Cheong, ask him to let you try his solid gold SBGC004...
He loves and praises this watch and he also owns AHCI's,UN's Freak, Vianney Halters and all the 6 figure watches in his collection. You can google his articles to hear him praise GS watches.
Do you find the chrono pushers bit protruding and inconvenient at times?
