These shorts run huge, in the legs. Nice material, well made, waist was the right size, but too much in the legs.

If only it had Indiglo....
Color: Black
Terrific watch. The leather band is very comfortable right out of the box. The bezel is crisp with very little slip. The markings are very good in the dark, but I still wish for Indiglo.
