The 26400 is a proper bruiser on the wrist and the chrono functionality actually works great, but man, the proportions feel a touch busy for what you're paying. Don't get me wrong, the finishing is solid and it wears better than you'd think for a 44mm case, but next to some of the competition at this price point it's a bit of a tough sell unless you're really committed to the Royal Oak design language. Still a respectable watch if the aesthetic clicks for you, just not the slam dunk some people make it out to be.
