We've got one on display in the shop. Sure gets a lot of looks and questions.
And it's held up just fine....right there on display, in the shop.

Put one on and dunked my head at the show in Long Beach.

I'm slightly nearsighted... -.5 and -.75. Not bad... my night vision
suffers a little and I only use glasses for driving at night when I'm
tired.

I'm not nearsighted enough to use these things.
It's fuzz-city. Can't see how many fingers I'm holding up.

To counter it, they sell you boxes of disposable contacts that are,
IIRC, something like a -4 'scrip.

The FOV of the thing IS all it's cracked up to be, but it is not a low
volume mask, and you have to be willing to put up with:

1 - Wearing contacts... and able to put them in on a rolling dive boat
in a salt-air environment.
2 - Being EXTREMELY far-sighted on the boat between dives, unless you
want to do the contact drill between dives, in which case, you'll want
a case for your contacts.
