Top price-performance ratio; Manufaktur-clock for a reasonable price

There were some other models in the race, but I have decided ultimately for this model. An important reason was the size. Less than 40 mm and greater than about 47 mm, it should not be (which is in my opinion, on average) because of my wrist circumference. The Gestaltug the case is interesting because it is nowhere attached to shirt sleeves or jacket sleeves in my opinion. The "hits" since simply by. (What might not be quite assured in bulky diving watches with protruding rotation rings).

The design of the dial is very good for my taste. The striking positions 12 and 6 per digits become clear and unambiguous, the rest is displayed with bar indications. The so-called "Day-Date" display (display of the weekday and date) can be set to German or alternatively in English. The readability day is absolutely clear and flawlessly. The so-called. "Waterproof" to 100 meters is absolutely for everyday life in order. Although this is the lower limit for wirkich waterproof watches, but it is absolutely perfect for everyday use (including jump fast times in the lake or to dabble in the public swimming pool to go).

What's even entscheident, (and not common in some Asian watches), is the second stop, which facilitates relatively accurate setting of an automatic watch with respect to the time right after all. Likewise, the "raise" the crown possible. Even that is not always standard for such watches.

My clock was in the early days of wearing (about one to two days after purchase) always after about one minute. With increasing support way, so every day (not common, if you own several watches), it proceeds rather something. To my shame I must confess that I have not checked the exact deviation. However, I am convinced that the work runs in Automatic reasonable regions. (Please not with quartz movements, being battery powered, compare)

The bracelet makes a solid impression. The ziplock keeps so far without any problems; in as far as the duration of the gestation period has an impact, I can not say. A so-called. Security seal, as usual in some diving watches, would be better here. But that is not here ..... or just exchange the tape.

Now to minimal "complaints points": The clock is not typical black as in the photo, it shines minimal, ie it is not entirely matte black, what I actually thought. The actual "black look" is not bad succeeded. Ultimately, it is a "dark" clock, you can live with it. The meaning of many Strichindizies on the non-rotatable bezel eludes something I understand. I have to date not yet figured out how to use this subdivision of minutes. The specification of a 24-hour display on the dial is here completely out of place, since the corresponding pointer is missing for it (so-called. GMT display). Technically, the design seems, though quite nice, so you can ignore the meaning perfectly (in my opinion). Visually, the clock is to my mind really nice.

Now to one last point: the night readability. Those who need it or not, no matter, I need it. The Seiko acclaimed Lumi Brite coating I knew so far only read from her; since I have the part, I can finally say what; . so ... normal Luminova or so-called Super-LumiNova, as with the absolute majority of all watches luminous material used, it is definitely slightly superior; the coating of this clock is enough to my amazement; I could / can recognize the time anytime without problems ..... there are incidentally all pointers and all subscripts and the two digits 6 and 12 coated

called by. "H 3 watches", ie watches with tritium gas light sources, it is of course far removed (I namely a), however, it comes as compared with the mass of the "fluorescent coatings" significantly better at this "light source" approach

Ultimately, I am with the decision to buy this clock, completely satisfied. You get here a knotless manufacture movement (ie not turned schaltes Massenuhrenrohwerk, somewhere made) a solid and quality conscious Japanese company at a very good price offered. In my opinion, an absolute alternative to the Swiss counterparts.

This clock I would buy again at any time. Morally it deserves five stars, but I have forgiven because of the small Nebensächlicheiten only four (four and a half went somehow ... not that I would have liked)
