As a fan Mechanical and not quite cheap swiss watches I happened to come to the Promaster AS4035-04E.
Technically inspire Ecodrive, Radiocotrolled and timeless simple design as we know it from many a Swiss manufacturer!
The clock makes a very sophisticated look. Mechanical automatic chronograph owners are probably surprised once on the ease of 75g. The sapphire crystal is slightly domed.
The only drawback is probably the band that looks a bit cheap at the clock.

After 4 months of daily use, I have collected the following experience:

+ The clock is always perfectly legible! (White pointer indexes on black background)

++ What is particularly striking, the fluorescent markers, hands glow not only after, but are easy to read all night !! (No information about the used luminous, ev. H3?)

The minute hand is not running continuously but makes every 15 sec. One step.

+ The pointer hit exactly the indexes on the dial. (At least for me)

+ The clock shows the date, day and month with year = (years since last leap year) The week starts with Sunday. So not in accordance with ISO 8601
Month and year with the Date function retrieved. But is not really viable if you often need.

-Genauso Who often the alarm with a different time needs have to be patient and at places fumble much at the crown.

-Who The chronograph much need (stop function) must fumble a lot at the crown. In addition, the minutes nearly stopped not to read on the narrow scale! Perhaps with practice.

-Who The clock carries the right, reached the fiddly crown almost no more now.

++ Time and date all functions incl. Summer / winter automatically adjust thanks DCF77!

+ Summer Winter time anytime queried.

+ The status of the last synchronization time is always available!

+ Manual time synchronization possible!

++ Brilliant thanks Eco Drive no battery needed! 1/2 year dark power (at full load)

-No Information on charge status and power reserve of the battery. Only deep discharge info on second hand.

+ Date Day presents itself accurately to at 00:00.

+2 Time zone possible

The clock is Best for people whom
1) The design
2.) The technique Ecodrive and radio, accuracy.
3.) Good readability by day and night.
4) Instant date change at 12:00
5.) 24h
6.) day and date display
7) Automatic real places of months with 30/28 days and leap year.
is important.

Not good for people who
1.) The stopwatch is important.
2. must read) month and year.
3.) The alarm often need at a different time or you want to get out of the REM phase.

I can not say anything about the alleged lack of coating. Since I still had nowhere abrasion and my clock is not popped on the tiled floor. As a carrier of mechanical watches to fit anyway because more and get used to a more secure handling. But I can well imagine that the coating suffers when they rub against the wall to me. After 4 months of normal operation, wear is certainly occurred neither band nor to housing.

Savings was really at the generic operating instructions is designed for all models with this work.

All in all a top quality Japanese product for each day, anytime, anywhere!
