I have had this watch for 2y now the only problem I have lots of watches so It doesn’t get a lot of wrist time but I have just adjusted the strap to fit my wrist Correctly so it’s probably going to get more time on my wrist but only when I’m in I non-rough environment so I don’t damage it’s good looks

@Judas_Phart Жыл бұрын
Even though it has a Bluetooth connection, It connects to your phone 4 times a day at 12.30am, 6.30am, 12.30pm and 6.30 pm, so it is very accurate to the second. I check all my watches against the Atomic clock. I also have Casio’s with Atomic time and a couple of Citizen GPS satellite wave watches, and the Edifice, Casio and Citizen watches all have the second hand move at the exact same time.

I just got this watch. A very good watch, but the things I didn't like and that are really features of 25$ watches: - Lum is practically non-existing. Impossible to read the watch in real night conditions. - The bracelet could be better. It's folded metal sheets, not solid links. Plucked all my hairs. Now, I have no idea why these 2 things couldn't be better on a 300GBP watch. It's something you wouldn't expect on an expensive watch.

I would agree with your comments on the price , however shopping around I purchased mine from a well known High Street jewellery shop for £97 , so shopping around makes it a brilliant watch for price, I agree lume is not great but I think its more a Techy watch, again I agree about the bracelet but playing devils advocate it is nicely made and keeps weight down , This of course is just my humble opinion, and I think you raise good valid points

this watch is a bit too shiny. Definitely very good looking. The design is amazing and it is very thin. What I do not like honestly is the accuracy of the quartz. the limits are +/- 20 seconds in a month. But I sometimes see more than that. I have other cheaper casio quartz watches which are more accurate in terms of time keeping. I suppose it has to do with the new thin design movement.
@DougFNJ4 жыл бұрын
Ive noticed that with my Casio watches that synch to phones and atomic. My guess is they focussed more on accuracy through outside tech before on board accuracy.
