They also say there's a "gold" version coming. Not quite sure what to make of it yet...

Looks like an odd cross between a Classic and a Date/Command.
Has the MIB2-style readout...I like the MIB2 design better. And reading the pulse rate?...been there, done that. This not a particularly inspired, or inspiring, design. I'm almost afraid to guess the price...

A good-looking watch.

But for that price it should have an e-ink display. Inverse LCDs with narrow segments have poor readability. Not good for a watch without backlight.
Besides that: the Ventura d-sparc series combined digital display with generator already 10 years ago, also has many weeks power reserve, and has rather bold segments, thus well readable.
