Whether current time or date, an alarm function plus beep every hour as a key tone, whether the use of the chronograph (what a stopwatch incl. A countdown timer equivalent) whether a second time zone or around 4 seconds existing backlight which thereafter slow ausdimmt - all functions are intuitive, and easy to learn with a little practice and succeed effortlessly (so you need them).
The clear vision of the divided digital-displayed zones is okay. A large field applies the time or the running of the chronograph seconds, while top left hurrying seconds and hundredths in the round box, or - depending on the function setting, - the day of the week by a black bar appears. Lowest level = Sunday over a semicircle towards Saturday possible. Top right we find the description of the current setting as a "timer" / "Chrono" divided (depending on setting with bar marked).
During the time mode, there is the center right, the date display. An AM / PM conversion is possible (12 or 24 hour format), only the date (by pressing the button above right), one has the American spelling "423" instead of "234" for the 23th of April, for example, ,
Designed for water resistance to 10 ATM can (can!) To be worn while swimming - more than a few splashes of water, I would like her frequent temperature fluctuations (condensation) and violent shocks do not want to bother with. The rear cover is sealed with watches four small screws and can only with difficulty that it rests on both sides because of an overlap of the rigid bracelet, be opened and lifted. In the event of changing batteries (and re-resistant with a resistance warranty) you should see a specialist. Whether it is worth the price of the clock is to be seen. Not at all undecided the question may be what you're doing because, going ("eventually") the plastic strap broken. One can be found in exactly the same color and the width of the spring pins / housing is likely difficult to succeed.
When glass is the manufacturer in his description "mineral glass" on. There is none but plastic, and thus very sensitive to scratches!
Conclusion:
Despite the variety of functions, "beautiful" package and a massive exterior my "UPHase" appears as a fair-weather clock to match the color scheme sonnengebräuntem arm of the clock. Light weight (only 62 g) brings some important disadvantages. It is expressly built no mineral glass, a spare belt (after "years") is no longer raise, and who uses them regularly for sport as stopwatch etc., should both expect that the plastic buttons wear out quickly or you because of two unfortunate notches at the top of may hang the right snaps. In addition, an awkward opening (as close) of the watch cover joins them.
A time donors as Blender - to make it short. Nevertheless, I rate them as not bad (as they only occasionally bears). But for long-term above-average diameter activities so that it is not created. A clock on the young carrier who still believes in the immortality before he understood what the time factor means ;-)
