Saw Zodiac released a proper chronograph and had to snag one. Have only had it for three days, but..

The deep blue dial is beautiful in any light.
+3 sec/day
Bezel is fantastic
Great lume
Looks great on a Marathon FKM GSAR strap

7-7.25" wrist fwiw

Was worried it's be too big/heavy but no such concern. It is fine if not ideal in all dimensions. The height is an advantage insofar as the crown and pushers won't dig into your wrist/hand when doing tool watch things.

Only "negative" so far, if you can call it that, is some slop in the movement when setting the time, but this is a characteristic of these valjoux derivatives and contributes to reliability/serviceability. Easy to work around by setting a few minutes past target and then going backwards to set the precise time. Once set it is on point.

Eager to put this one through its paces.

This is a pretty neat watch, but I've never encountered a manual wind w screw down crown. All my manuals have a fairly hard stop when wound.

Was thinking if fully wound, what do you then do to screw the crown down? Must be some mitigation in place like a slip clutch, or maybe it winds in the opposite direction?
