I was looking for an everyday watch w/ metal bracelet and this checked off all the boxes - modest case size, accurate and reliable solar movement, mostly reserved styling with some limited pop. The moon dial is gorgeous up close but doesn't scream at you from a distance. I am impressed by the weight of the watch as this is my first experience with titanium. Also my first watch with radio-controlled atomic time - this piece is now the benchmark I use to set all other watches in my collection. I am very happy with my purchase and look forward to using this watch for many years to come!
Saw this watch advertised on Facebook. First thing that got my attention was the red face. I read a little about it but didn't realize all of the cool functionality it has. Thus is one of the easiest watches I've owned if I have to adjust time zones when traveling. Its also the first titanium watch and very light. I may need to see if I the Blue Angels watch comes in titanium.
Great watch. Gorgeous dial (more deep purple than red), great features. Very comfortable. Only improvement would be a tool-less microadjustment, but it’s going to be fine. The moon feature is fun. Amazing technology in a beautiful watch.
Man do I love this watch, beautiful red moon makes it so unique and the ability for it to adjust time by itself. Light weight, easy to adjust bracelet if you light to adjust it by yourself like I do.
I acquired the timepiece this week, and I love it! LIght, comfortable to wear and a sharp red moon dial that is really more of a Cranberry hue making it unique while easy to wear for all occasions.
The Tsuki-yomi A-T BY1018-55X watch is a nice watch, which keeps excellent time. My location does not always receive a strong radio signal from Colorado for the atomic time setting. All the watch configurations work well. The only issues I have are I'd like to see the date window larger or a date crystal magnifier. maybe this can't be done with sapphire crystals. Second the luminescent material on the minute and hour hands and the fixed hour luminosity indicators are very weak. I read my watch in low light often and there is no luminosity so I can't read the dial even after being in strong light, The luminosity fades quickly. I suggest that a new luminosity material be applied or use tritium. This is a mid-range priced watch. Don't skimp on the price of a quality luminosity material that lasts after exposure to light. If tritium is used the luminosity will last 24 hours a day for a half live of about 12+ years.
All good but no lume on the moon phase and no luck with atomic sync.
I love the watch. It looks fantastic and I've gotten several compliments with it. I would have given it five stars but the braclet leaves a bit to be desired. The stamped clasp feels cheap for the price and I'm not a fan of the polishing on the links. I ended up replacing this with a black sailcloth strap and it looks 10/10 amazing. If the braclet had a better clasp (milled vs stamped please!) and came with half links for easier sizing I would have given it 5 stars.
Beautiful watch. I have a very large wrist (9") and am still waiting for the extra links so that I can actually wear the watch.
Nice watch, light weight but tough. Beautifully crafted, with nice features. However the color dial does not match the advertised color. I wish it was that deep red, but instead it is really more purple.
