Yeah, I have a UX. I'm not sentimental about it like I am with my other watches, but for what it is, I think it's one of the best watches you can buy.
I looks great, wears much better than its 44mm would suggest, is absolutely bombproof, accurate to a couple of seconds per year, it's tegimented steel case is still mark free despite being my 'beater' that's taken a fair few knocks, it's the most legible watch I've ever worn, the lume is superb, the effect of the floating hands caused by the oil in the case is both fascinating and genuinely useful, it's lack of reflection underwater is incredible, and gives bragging rights over just about everyone when it comes to depth rating.
Only negatives I can think of...the rubber strap collects dust so always looks a bit dirty. The standard clasp is HUGE...I don't mind it, but many do and a small version is available. The case has cut out things between the lugs for the standard straps which can be seen if you wear it on a NATO, and the case can look a little tuna-can like on a NATO.
