A Comparison with my Old Watch
I have been using this watch for one month now. My previous watch, which lasted 30+ years, was a Seiko which was thinner and lighter. The Seiko luminescence was mostly gone after 30+ years and the day part of the day/date function stopped working but, the watch was still accurate to 10 seconds a year. This new watch has barely more luminescence than the Seiko after 30 years. I fully charged the battery when I got this watch so I am waiting to see how long it lasts without specially charging it. I actually find I prefer the known 3-4 year battery life than having to get my watch environmentally charged (I wear it 24 hours). The accuracy is within limits (loses 8 seconds a month). The watch is also bulkier than the Seiko. Seems like a decent watch but honestly, I wish I'd gotten the Seiko. Smaller, lighter, more luminescence and better accuracy (after 30+ years' experience of daily use 24/7).
