Time for a change May 26, 2008 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
After 11 years' pretty faithful service my old Gul watch started showing its age, its umpteenth Velcro strap fraying and the time showing a quarter to Jesus. It was time for a change...
I spotted this model in a local jewellers' window and went home and looked it up on my old mates Amazon, where it was going for about 17 quid less. Regrettably there was not much by way of description, but the remote setting sounded cool, it had an analogue face and showed the date, so I went for it.
What I got is pleasingly chunky without being brutish, the face is clear and the hands are luminous. The batteries are light-charged, so no need to faff with all that.
Lamentably there is no second hand, the digital read-out has to be in fairly bright light in order to be able to read it, you can't read it at all if it's quarter past or three something, and the instruction book is about the right size for the hands of a five-year-old seamstress, otherwise you are doomed to fumbling with it as you try to decipher the text, which appears to have lost something in the translation from the original Japanese through every native language on the Silk Road and on westwards to London. Nevertheless, through a process of deduction and trial and error I did manage to make a connection with the atomic clock at Rugby and reset the time. It'll be interesting to see if I can repeat the feat next time I go abroad!
But though it's by no means perfect, overall I consider this to be a good buy and well worth the money.
