1)keeps very good time: about 5 seconds fast a month ( much better than most quartz watches at this price range.Have worn the watch for almost 2 months & set it to NIST & checked every week. 2) a tad heavy on the wrist but not intolerable (have a 6 &3/4 inch wrist & was hesitant to purchase because of this, but it wears well even on a smaller wrist) 3) very easy to read for these tired old eyes.Lume fairly good- lasts about 5 or 6 hours. 4)a little lackluster since it appears to have a matte finish 5) pins in the band are not tight enough; hopefully they wont give out at some crucial point in time. However it made sizing easier. 6) all in all a very fine & sturdy piece of craftsmanship that should last for many years & require no servicing.
Thoroughly enjoy this handsome solar watch. As others have stated, the date window is too small to be useful in dim, or worse, light or when viewing at an angle. Like the second hand with a different color scheme. Using a NATO strap; bracelet came in wrong size when using their print template.
How do I keep it working? Often in the morning I see it has stopped during the night.
