Hands-On: The Alpina Alpiner Extreme Regulator
In my short time wearing the watch I noticed that the rubber strap, while comfortable, left the watch and its heavy-duty steel case feeling a bit top-heavy on my wrist. It was fine, no doubt, but the balance felt a bit off. Part of that is mental, the pretty intense tiered and faceted case is visually pretty sizeable regardless of measurements. The deployant clasp for the rubber strap is great and my preference for any watch not on bracelet, but it doesn’t quite do anything to balance out the weight (whether real or perceived).
