Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I debated a lot before buying this watch, because it is quite different from most of my watches. However...
1 - I like the mushroom-shaped crown. It gives good control, has very solid clicks when you pull it out (unlike a couple of swiss - Luminox & Marathon - watches I own), but doesn't bang the skin during running or other vigorous activity.
2 - I like the square buttons for the stopwatch. Again, very positive clicks and very smooth.
3 - The 1/10 and 1/100 of a second hands spin for the first 3 minutes the stopwatch is used - the orange 1/100s being a total blur. Seems like a waste of battery power, but it looks kind of cool.
4 - Better lume at night than one would expect from the pictures. Not as bright as a dive watch, but very precise looking and readable in the early morning.
5 - The 40 minute stopwatch resets back at 41 minutes and continues to run for a total of 2 hours. I like this - it is easier to read than a 60 min dial and I don't need to time things over 2 hours. If you do, buy a different watch.
6 - The watch looks big but wears light. It covers a fair bit of space on the wrist, but is thin so it doesn't flop around. The first part of the band next to the watch is angled down...helps to keep the watch in one place. I have a small wrist, and had no trouble sizing it to fit.
7 - I like the fact that there are no wasted subdials. No '24-hour indicator' like Citizen tends to use, a very readable chronograph display, etc. It has enough features to show it isn't the run of the mill watch, but it doesn't overload the dial with geek stuff.
Overall: it looks better in reality than it does in pictures. It looks like a dress watch, but works well during running, cycling, etc. It is very comfortable to wear, is of high quality and well thought out. I docked it a star because I like a rotating bezel - although I knew it didn't have one when I bought it. Amazon has a great price, delivered in 24 hours for $4. If you want to time long events or like having an alarm or second time zone...this watch is not for you. If you want a massive watch, this is a bad choice. If you want a large watch that is very comfortable, easy to read, high-tech design and very accurate stopwatch - this is a great choice.
