We are finally getting around to taking a look at my Traska Summiter. Perhaps the best budget Rolex Explorer Alternative out there. I jumped on the Kickstarter, and I'm glad I did. One of the most comfortable watches I've owned. At 38mm wide and powered with a Miyota 9039. Definitely a must-see.

A couple of notes:
1) I originally planned on reviewing this a while ago, but at the last min decided to do the Beaufort Aerotimer instead. My reasoning was that the Aerotimer was in stock, while the Traska Summiter was listed as having more available in July.

Well here we are in July and evidently, the demand has been so great there aren't any. In fact, they have shut down the waitlist. So looks like this may turn into another Helm type situation. So if you are interested sign up for the waitlist and keep your fingers crossed.

2) If you check out the Lume Comparison Timelapse it almost looks like the second hand is going backward. Pretty Trippy, but all an optical illusion. No clue how that works, but I might look into it. I know I set the camera for 15-second intervals, and it's running 24 frames per second. So might have to try that again to see what happens.

Note: Some of the links above are affiliate links, I am an Amazon, AVI-8, Armilla, Aliexpress, Spinnaker, eBay and Phoibos affiliate so I would earn a small commission on qualified purchases. But most of the time Amazon is just the best source to link something just to get a look. I always encourage you to shop around and find the best price.
