Lucky kid :)

The watch is quite fun to play with :) Fortunately, it runs on rechargeable batt for many many years otherwise it is a hassle to reset the time and date when it stops (like mechanical)

dsiew,

he's 14 and a pain in the a@#..Its good tho,stimulates his mind and he can then teach me how the dem thing works ;D

I bet its a pain to reset everything.

Juz mounted it on a blk strap and IMO it looks better than on the bracelet

Same movement but different design & slight bigger in size.

About 2 years in my possession. So far got no problem from any Eco-Drive model I got. I love the design, complexity, the bracelet & probably the most comfortable dress watch I got so far.  :thumbsup:

Good idea .man.
Most kids his age tell the time by using their phones, not a watch. Something the watch industry should b worried about.

I know there is a problem with perpetual date watch. Coz some the settings r not documented coz it is not part of the normal operation.
