The fingernail gap to pull it out seems just right, and I like the grip texture. Here it is extended.

The scale of the knurling means you can feel each ridge as you turn it between finger and thumb, a tactile version of watching the...

When I retire I will parse my watches through eBay, slowly, so my kids don't have to, and this is the one I will keep:

But, apart from my Ball, they all need 'charging' - here is my latest acquisition:
