Super quality for the price, holds a lot of

Since I now have 1 1/2 years this clock and am very happy, I thought I'd write a review.
First, to the following functions: When this clock has a chronograph stop function in which the time in 1-sec. Measuring steps up to an hour. The dial for the last minute is read only with good eyes, because the 60 lines are very close together (but that is simply due to the size of the display and can be seen even worse for smaller clocks). The second is designed as a small second with a separate dial at the bottom. The central seconds hand is white and is illuminated at night and marked when you order just does not stop the time, the 12-clock position. This is important at night, because the numbers themselves do not light up (only the pointer, the central seconds hand and the 5-minute mark outside) and you can better identify with where the 12. Furthermore, the clock has a date display (it does not have perpetual calendar, they must therefore be at a day length, which does not correspond to 31 days at the end of the month of hand further questions) and weekday display.

This clock is really very beautiful and high quality processed. One should keep in mind that it is not exactly the smallest and therefore nothing for petite wrists however. The clock is made of solid steel, and the bracelet is folded massive and not as in many watches cheaper steel - therefore it is relatively heavy. The crown has an embossed "R", the caseback has a lasered Festina logo, the red here elements on the dial are blue at my clock, although exactly is this model, but it did not bother me. The movement is a chronograph movement Citizen and has in my clock timing inaccuracy +10 sec. A month, so definitely within the manufacturer's specified +/- 20 sec. Battery life is indicated by 2 years, at a use of stop function 1 hour daily. The glass is a relatively scratch resistant mineral glass, my had long despite not exactly gentle handling no scratches, but after I have the clock sidestepped while working on a steel beam, a scraper is now in. The design you see is just there, that's why I come now to what the clock already had to endure:

- Not rust is nowhere to be seen, at the retaining pins or anywhere else - and swimming about 3m deep dive in the Atlantic during high waves (saltwater) = no problem, you should just rinse the salt water
- Outdoor swimming pool with Start = jumps into the water without any problems
- Showers = everything OK
- Cracked with momentum against a massive steel beam = a scratch in the glass and broken out a tiny corner of the glass. But you can hardly see and the tightness has also not affected. Sharp edges are also not incurred
-. On the arm in a 90 ° C sauna, about 10 minutes and then a bucket of ice water from above (had forgotten to take them off in the sauna) = nothing happens, no flooding or other
- At one corner stuck with heavy train on the bracelet = nothing happens, the band is still there

The quality convinced me anyway be 100% and I can only say that this clock is excellent value for money. Whether they visually confident course everyone must decide for themselves.
