Excellent honest review. Probably the best review for the Formex Reef as am considering buying the Reef 39mm. Thanks for mentioning about the thickness at the clasp on the rubber strap. Was considering buying one for my Formex Essence so I don’t think I’ll bother now.
This is great honest non-sponsored review. No one else seems to talk about the thickness of the rubber but you do and yeah it's so obviously something I would not want under my wrist. Thanks for the heads up on the Barton strap. I think I'll get one of those. I recently bought the Reef GMT and since that's bidirectional it doesn't have the click-spring below the bezel to worry about losing. It means that if I put a dive bezel on it would be bidirectional too (unless i asked them for the click-spring ring which might fit as the case looks the same) but I just use dive bezels for timing poached eggs, timing nachos in the oven, or seeing how long my girlfriend has been in the shower. The only thing I'd like to see them do is have an embossed crown rather than etched.

Never have had a problem changing bezels, these are excellent watches, very versatile
Thanks great review!
I just cut the rubber strap so it is not so thick at the clasp.
Why is the name Formex “off putting”, but Rolex or Timex are not an issue?
