Most of the buttons have primary and secondary features, depending on whether you press once, or press-and-hold them. Pressing these buttons gives an indicator of the watch's build quality, offering a proper "click" and reassuring tactile feedback.

Underneath, the bottom panel is made from stainless steel with an attractive brushed finish, which is matched by the round bezel around the lens.
