User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Accurate but large
This watch is as advertised, accurate. Very accurate. It looks good, but I was surprised by the unusually large face, which I don’t remember described in the advertisement. It’s really too large for my smallish wrist. Those with large wrists may find it more suitable. Handsome otherwise.
5 Stars Good Buy
I received this watch as a Christmas Gift. It was what I asked Santa for. Santa (my wife) ordered it for me. Christmas morning came and I opened my gifts and got my watch! It has been great. I have not had any problems or difficulties with the watch or it’s functions. It is well worth the price and I wouldn’t hestitate to reccommend it to anyone. It is well built and does everything it says it will do. It looks great too!
5 Stars A Truly Well-Designed Product
With the advent of micro-electronics, watches (like digital cameras and cellphones), have become over-burdened with too many useless features. The delightful thing about this watch is its simplicity. Easy to set and use (through two buttons on the side, one of which is flat with the side of the watch, it does what a watch is supposed to do — keep time accurately and display it clearly. Everything about this watch reflects quality and simplicity. It is truly an elegant product.
Because of the electronics required to receive the time by satellite each night, the case is somewhat thicker than other analog watches. This has not bothered me, but others may disagree.
If you do buy the watch, KEEP THE MANUAL. It contains instructions for what to do if the analog hands end up being out of sync with the electronic signal. This happened to me, and the only way to get them back in sync is to follow the detailed instructions in the manual.

5 Stars A great watch for time Aficionados
This watch (in the E. Howard “style” is a perfect timepiece for those (like myself) who are time “nuts” and value having the completely correct time immediately available more than a piece of jewelery as wrist adornment.
The face is simple and readable, with the just the right amount of space reserved for the LCD date (or second) readout. The minute hand moves every 20 seconds allowing the wearer to tell at a glance the correct time to this precision.
The watch found the “atomic” signal within 15 or so minutes at the initial set-up, and has not had any problems with daily re-synching - at the unobtrusive hour of 2 a.m.
Although I cannot justify why it pleases me to “wear” the exact time, it certainly does, and for those who feel likewise this is an excellent choice.
4 Stars End of DST
Gee I love this watch, BUT
when I got up today and looked
at it, the time was off by one hour.
Unfortunately it failed to see that
the stupid DST had finally ended!!
(It is quite a pain to program it
back to the new time!)
The watch is, though, quite stylish.
