- Is the SKX009K1 good for swimming and diving?
- Yes. It is rated to 20 ATM (200 m) with a screw-down crown, so it handles swimming, snorkeling and recreational diving.
- Does the movement hack or hand-wind?
- No. The 7S26 automatic does not stop the seconds hand when you set the time and cannot be wound by the crown. Wear it and it winds itself.
- How does it compare with the SKX007?
- They are the same watch apart from the dial and bezel: the SKX007 has a black dial and bezel, the SKX009 a blue dial with a Pepsi bezel.
- What is the case size?
- The case is about 42.5 mm across and roughly 13 mm thick, with 22 mm lugs, so it wears large but fits most wrists.
- Can I put a different strap on it?
- Yes. The 22 mm lugs take NATO straps, rubber straps and steel bracelets, and many owners swap the stock strap.
- Does it have a sapphire crystal?
- No. It uses mineral glass, which is durable but scratches more easily than sapphire.
