What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent: the feature description calls the grip material a rubber bezel, while another description says Dryflex Tin. The listed dimensions omit thickness, although the feature text gives a baseplate size of 10.7 x 5.4 x 1.1 cm. Customer feedback also includes a report of Northern Hemisphere calibration, so buyers navigating elsewhere should confirm suitability for their hemisphere. These details are not established product defects.
