Customer Review

This MARQUIS Herrenfunkuhr sees in natura from much the same as in the illustration. The leather strap makes a high quality impression (in the first few days it was still a bit stiff), the clock is smaller than Fashion is currently, but to be recognized clearly still large enough to serve as men's watch (although it is now also very large ladies watches are). The digital display window for the date you have to like (I like it). One can theoretically "seconds" change, however, appear in the display not only is the number of seconds but also the "receiving control": A number indicating how many days, the clock was already without radio contact (ie ideally a "0" ).
The dial color is described as "silver". It is actually not white but matt-silver, but very bright. The color of the numerals and hands (high-gloss silver) stands out in almost any lighting situation perfectly from the background.

For all ordinary purposes the clock is top. I also like that the date in the normal format in Germany DD.MM. and will not appear as in many watches MM-DD.

Incidentally, it is possible to reprogram the clock for traveling to a different time zone (but only in 1 hour Intevallen). How good is the concentricity without radio contact, I can not judge, but I suspect for months-long stays overseas this clock is not intended ;-)

I wanted to personally explicitly a clock without a second hand, I think that's typical forward hopping of the second hand on quartz watches rather unaesthetic. However, there is in this respect also a small flaw. For most people it does not like conspicuous, but I as watch enthusiasts have noticed it immediately:

The clock jumps once more per minute. This in itself is fine, but you need to know if you sometimes comes down to the final seconds, when it eventually starts right on time (lectures, trains, Tagesschau, whatever) because when the clock is set to 11:59, could it be 11:59:01 or even 11:59:59. Knowing this, it's okay, but now comes the real "flaw": If the clock I would jumps only once a minute at least expect the hand setting is so precise that the minute hand is always as accurate on a minute marker that one a deviation does not recognize with the naked eye. This is unfortunately not the case. The minute hand of my clock is always something between two minutes. It is always clearly recognizable, what minute is meant, but the difference I would not just now described as "minimal" (varies between ~ 1 and ~ 2 ° (distance between the minute marks is 6 °)). In my case, this deviation even counter-clockwise so that the displayed time (when the pointer position indicates an exact analog continuous representation) differs on average about 39 seconds from the actual time backwards, in extreme cases, up to 72 seconds). For most that is safe regardless. But you have to know what will show the clock, if you come again at the last minute.

UPDATE (three months later):

As it turned out after some time, my clock had a loose connection. After a few days she went suddenly always wrong because the 0-clock position of the pointer is no longer true. I sent the clock thereafter. The cost of the return were taken, after less than two weeks I received the clock repaired back (there were battery and movement replaced). It's now been over a month and the clock is running perfectly since. The problem that the hand setting was somewhat inaccurate and the minute hand is not pointing precisely to the minute strokes has been significantly reduced by these repairs. Since then I have even more fun at this clock.
