It’s okay – stylish, a little bulky,
I like this watch – it looks good but the functions are pretty standard. The backlight is poor but if you angle the watch you can see the time in the dark. The size is bigger than the description 4.8cm wide by 3.8cm long and 0.8 thick (roughly). It does sit well on ones wrist and having thin wrists that is a lot to be said. I had to take it to a jewellers to be adjusted. It was not quite the watch I was hoping for but still looks good on – chunky seems to be the fashion.

Much better ‘in the flesh’,
I was immediately attracted to the design of this watch and looked forward to receiving it as the replacement to my cheap £20 digital watch. Firstly, absolute kudos to Royal Mail who, when Amazon dispatched this watch second class at 4pm yesterday, delivered it to me first post this morning. Amazing.
The case that contains the watch is different to that pictured, being instead a hard, red, glossy plastic with curved edges and corners for the outer part, and the inner is a very nice quality black velvet-type seating. The whole watch is very well packaged and it’s clear care is taken to ensure the watch is kept in factory condition for not only the body of the watch, but the bracelet too is covered in a protective, soft plastic wrap that is like self-sticking tape, only, without the gum, so it’s very clean to remove. When I opened the case and saw the watch I was even more delighted with it.
As another reviewer has mentioned, it is indeed larger than the pictures above indicate, and it looks all the better for it. The size adds to the feel of quality about the watch, as does the weight of it, and being surgical steel makes for a classier sense too. The bracelet for myself is very large, and being a very slim guy I had to remove four of the sections so that it would fit my thin wrist. This is easily done, if you know how. I say easily in the sense of ‘what to do’ but in the sense of ‘doing it’ it can be a little tough. You basically have to push out the pin holding the section you want to remove, and to do so in the direction that is indicated on the inner side of the bracelet sections. That is the tough part because of course they are and have to be tight. I used the smallest of my mini screwdrivers, just be careful how you apply the pressure as you don’t want to slip and scratch the watch, or indeed break your screwdriver and stab yourself with the snapped shaft. Required pins removed, the bracelet sections easily come away and can of course be placed in the box for safe keeping. Then it’s a simple matter of joining the gap and inserting a pin to keep it in place. I had to tap the pins in carefully with my pliers as they are not easy to push in with your fingers. Then just a press with the pliers for the push in of the last couple of millimetres, so as not to scratch the bracelet. Once the bracelet is sized correctly, it’s very easy to click into place around your wrist and just as easy to pop open by pinching the two small clips either side of the centre, logo ‘button’.
There are three faults with this watch, one of which is easily fixed, the others can’t be. This is why I have given it four stars instead of five, though I really do want to give it five. The first is hinted at by another reviewer. The ‘cloudy lens’. Mine too was cloudy, but on close inspection it is clear that the inside of the lens has not been cleaned properly before final assembly. Quite surprising given that I think this watch is of such fine and obvious build quality. It is up to you if you want to go through this rigmarole, but I loved the watch so much, I did it. Unscrew the four tiny screws on the back, remove the plate, take out the watch itself (being careful not to lose two tiny springs … oh, as well as the four very tiny screws), and then clean the inside of the lens with a water moistened cotton bud. Dry (obviously VERY important), replace parts, screw in tiny screws. Et voila! A nice, clear display.
The second fault is the mode change. Whatever mode you switch this watch to (date, stop-watch etc.), it will stay on that mode until you switch it back. I am used to my digital watches automatically switching back, so I am a little peeved that I have to switch through all of the modes when I check the date, just to get back to the clock display.
The third fault is the light. It is a joke really. Talk about nigh on impossible to see the display in the dark when you press the light. If you are colour blind with blue/green then you will not see the display at all because it is rendered those two colours when you press the light. Of course a mixture of blue/green for lettering and background makes for very difficult viewing for anybody, so I am really disappointed in this aspect of the watch. On the positive side, quite unlike any digital watch I’ve ever owned over the years, the dot matrix of this display is a beautiful mirror, giving it even more of a classy feel. It is this mirror aspect to the display which makes it possible to view without the light if you catch some ambient light reflected by it in semi-dark conditions.
The manual is lacking any instruction on how to adjust the bracelet, and is equally devoid of information on the battery, so you would eventually have to open the case to find out what replacement battery you would need. One thing that is really peculiar is the ‘warranty’. Where on the first page it states:
“… The…
