Chrome faced, leather strap, chunky watch, feels solid, looks great and works perfectly.Perpetual calender is extremely useful, you never have to change it and you never have to change the battery. Great all rounder and pretty sturdy. I love it!

I bought this product for my other half for Christmas. He has had this watch twice before but unfortunately lost it both times. I think it goes without saying how amazing this watch is if over the last 5 years he has bought the same one 3 times.

Observations:

------------



- The red/brown leather complements the the shiny titanium casing really well.



- It's a little bit chunky (15mm case height compared to the average of 10mm) and a little heavy, but fits and feels nice, even on a slim wrist such as mine. This is something I was concerned about prior to purchase, but no more!



- Eco-drive means no hassle of changing the battery ever (or for a very long time!).



- It is a little bit tedious to adjust different settings (such as the local time) as everything has to be done



using the different hands on the dial, which I guess is how it is for all analogue watches. This is not really a



drawback though, as changing settings should only be an occasional affair.





Features:

---------

- Chronograph



- Alarm (Not so loud beeps, but they woke me up just fine)



- Perpetual Calendar (automatically adjusts for leap years etc.)



- 24 hour display hand



- Local time (Don't know why it's called 'local time', as it is to set time for a region different from local). For



example, this can be used to keep track of the time in say New York. The one minor incovenience is that the time



difference can only be set in hours. That is, if New York is 6.5 hours ahead of you, the watch'll only show you the



time 6 hours ahead, and you'll just have to mentally add the difference in minutes to it.



- Rotatable bezel or outer ring (Usually used by marine divers, but useful for keeping track of time elapsed within



an hour)



- The hands, marks and numbers on the dial glow in the dark





User manual:

------------

Here's the link to the PDF manual for the watch (E82 series) for quick reference -

Verdict:

--------

Excellent looking watch with great functions at a reasonable price. Highly recommended. This is my first adult watch (other than the one that I wore as a kid) and I am extremely pleased with it!

I received this watch as a wedding gift from my wife on the big day. I had been hunting around for some time for a nice watch that could be warn everyday but also have enough class to look good with my work suit. The build quality is fantastic, its solar powered so never needs a battery, the luminous hands are the best I have ever seen on a watch easily lasting all night, it has a built in alarm and easy to configure perpetual calendar. This is my first leather strap watch in some time with my other timepieces having rubber or metal straps. The leather is of a very good quality and didn’t need to much breaking in before it moulded to my wrist perfectly. To sum it up; easy to read, light weight, accurate, holds its own against more expensive brands and good conversation starter. 5* and chuffed to bits.

The product - watch itself looks cool and solid, the image is not maybe most important but it is important enought and these watch are just cool. Easy to set and use, comfortable wristband from solid leather and its "classical" look contrasts with shiny metal parts, verry impresive. And "eco" idea is the best part of the story...good job.

First class watch. Came set up so no looking at the manual needed until it was GMT to BST. Setting then was a bit of a pain, but not too difficult. Lovely style and weight, really quality leather and an excellent buy

Excellent time piece...very good luminous hands. Slight fault is the winder can activate the bottom dial causing the time to alter....however it is easily corrected.
get loads of comments from other watch nuts.
