Customer Reviews

Very nice looking watch

The delivery for this watch was excellent, and it arrived very quickly, within a few days.

The watch itself is quite solid, and looks fantastic. It is also sturdy enough to cop a bit of banging around, and I have had no problems in using it underwater (up to 30m). The tachymeter in particular worked fine underwater (although sometimes the dials can be obscured a bit by the minute hands, which makes it hard to determine an exact value). It is also worth noting that the second hand on the watch is actually contained in one of the smaller dials, and the large second hand is used for the tachynometer.

All in all, this watch looks far more expensive than it costs, and makes a nice addition as a sporty watch (if you don't mind it too large).

My only complaints would be concerning the bi-directional bezel. I have no idea what the benefit for having a bi-directional (as opposed to unidirectional bezel) is, and it swings a bit too easily for my liking. The numbers on the bezel also don't make any sense to me (they start at 10, and have mph on them). Perhaps I am missing something, but I don't know that on earth this could be for. The most problematic issue is that there are 3 marks on the bezel, so it can be hard to remember which one you set it at unless you develop a rigorous pattern.

Besides the bezel complaints, this watch has worked fine for the month or so I have had it, and I really like the look of it.

Great looking... but some problems
I have some questions/concerns on the overall quality control. First one I got, upon using the chronometer function and re-setting to 0, all of the dials went to one notch before centerpoint - very annoying and there were no directions or instruction if this was fixeable.

Upon receiving my 2nd copy, the band seemed like it was burnt. I switched the band with with the one on the defective watch and returned, but considered just returning both.

I really really love the look of this watch. It reminds me of an Hublot or a similarly prices super watch. I'm not a fan of the band, and the crown really rips the skin on my hand (literally left an ugly patch, which only after 3 weeks of not using is going away).

Anyway - if you are in it for the looks (or wear on your right hand) - you'll love it. It is huge - my wife thinks too big.

Very nice watch
Like the design and "feel" of the watch. Had many comments from people. And the shipment was really fast! 3 days from US to Norway, delivered at my door!!
