My HMG Ultamid 2 seems to be shrinking. Claimed length is 107×83. I didn't measure it when I got it new but now, after about a half season's use, in my temperatures varying from 20C to -10C, its measuring approximately 104×81.

I have never noticed it shrink. However it definitely changes shape with use (creep). I had some rain jacket that I made fairly fitting. The remain the same size. I bet someone has some scientific data.

DS2 Meridian: Vintage Dive Style, Everyday ReliabilityInspired by the streamlined "skin diver" watches of the 1960s, the DS2 Meridian combines vintage proportions with the durability of a modern everyday tool watch. A reliable Japanese Miyota quartz movement delivers set-it-and-forget-it accuracy, while 150 meters of water resistance, a locking screwdown crown, sapphire crystal, and strong Super-LumiNova make it ocean-ready. Available in multiple case sizes and starting under $250, it's an approachable way to get classic dive-watch styling without sacrificing everyday practicality.
