Rubbish,
Designed by the world’s most famous and revered product designer Phillipe Starck you would expect this to be a gem of a product. Unfortunately someone at studio Starck forgot that the foremost function of a watch is to be able to tell the time and when you put this one on the display becomes useless and I find myself endlessly having to ask others the time or reverting to my phone, it may have helped if there was some type of backlight but that would be too much like common sense.
Also, forget it when it comes to changing the time, the mechanism is concealed behind the rubber membrane of the strap and there must be some secret combination that only Mr Starck himself is aware of as nothing works and forget looking for any instructions as there aren’t any. The watch face is acrylic and scratches even if you look at it and the clasp is nightmarishly hard to do / undo.
All in all he has succeeded in taking a very simple product and making it just bad enough in all areas that you’ll regret ever buying it!

very nice looking, very confortable, unreadable at night,
The watch look just as good on your wrist that it does on the photo.
The wrist band is quite long and the watch will fit anyone. You’ll have to cut the wrist band to adjust the watch in most case (there are marks to ease the job), and even with my very small wrists the watch fit perfectly and looks good.
The design is very nice and well finished; the only negative remarks is that there is no back lighting, and it is thus almost impossible to actually read the time on it in low light conditions, at night or in a dance club for example. This was a bit of a let down for me as i bought the watch intending to wear it mostly when going out, but it still is a very nice design watch.

A triumph of form over function,
A cool looking watch (in a Space 1999 sort of way) but I had HOURS of fun setting it up and adjusting the strap. Maybe you’ll be better at that sort of thing than me. I hope so.
