Lad Weather Radio Controlled Watch Solar Powered Perpetual Day Date Calendar Multi Timezone Military Business Travel

I almost did not buy this due to negative comments on setting the watch. Pssshhhhhhh, It was a piece of cake to set. As guys, how often do we actually READ instructions.....exactly......., not until something goes wrong....Directions are kinda cheesy but they are legible, reasonably good English and complete. So here is my advise- Make sure instructions are in proper order- they are in two small sheets of paper. READ, actually read the instructions all the way through. Less than two minutes involved in this so far. You have to set day and date, then run all three hands to point straight up at the noon position. Then you set time zone, again this is detailed in the instructions. Here is the really hard part-----you have to let the watch do an initial set up, and LEAVE IT ALONE until it syncs with the atomic clock in Colorado. This part I learned the hard way when I set mine (correctly) to -5 GMT this is New York time. And watch set itself a full hour earlier than it should be. I tried again on Chicago time -6 GMT and it was now two hours early.........SO after rereading, pondering the issue, I realized that all I needed to to was set correct time zone. And let the watch get the time signal in the middle of the night, in the morning it was correctly set. It is a very nice watch. Nice quality band, watch is simple and easy to read. There are items on the face that look like maybe fake decorations-they are not fake but let you know with a push of the top button if the watch has synced with the atomic clock and, after a 5 second wait it then shows how much charge the battery cell has. ONLY squawk I have is that there is only a 6 month warranty. Watch feels well build so I do not anticipate having to use the warranty, but wanted to add this info. One other thing, is there is a QR code in 5 languages to download additional instructions and the directions also give their website where additional setting instructional videos are posted. Biggest tip I can give you *****BE PATIENT***** with the setting process due to acquiring the time signal.

Difficult to figure out how to set the time. The instructions were difficult to understand because they appear to be translated by someone with English as a second language. I put the watch in a window facing the sun for a day, then zero'ed the hands, then set the time zone, then set it to receive the time signal, and it works pretty well. Took me a few days to figure out how to do this, but I found some helpful videos on the internet for it. The watch automatically set the time correctly with DST also. Got it set a week ago and checked it again today with the NIST and it is accurate to the second. Normal wear after a week and it still says it has a fully charged battery.My biggest complaint now is that the band is held on by some really cheap/weak spring bar pins. If you put any stress on the band the pins that hold the band to the watch will pull loose and the watch falls off of your wrist. The positive to this is that when it pulls loose, the pins are really easy to put back in place without any watch tools.Not bad for a $75 solar powered watch, but will have to replace the band spring bar pins.UPDATE: I took the watch to a jeweler and got the spring bar pins replaced with heavier duty ones. That cost me $10. No more problems with the watch band. The jeweler must have accidentally pressed some of the buttons because the time was incorrect when I got it back. I zero'ed the hands again, set the time zone, and set it to manually receive the time signal. When I came back later to check on it, it was at the correct date and time. The watch indicated the battery was at half charge after that, but the time was accurate to the second with the NIST website. The instructions indicate it adjusts every night based on the time signal it receives. I put the watch in a window facing the sun for a day and it showed full battery again. That is the only time I have had to "charge" it after the initial charge since I received it. I wear it every day and am outside about half of each day. I have had no problems with it other than the spring bar pins. Still too early to see how it will hold up over time, but this is a good watch for me. I almost changed my rating to 4 stars, but the cheap spring bar pins and poorly written instructions are what holds it back. If it's still working well after a few years, I would give it a 4 star rating.

海外物なのに到着までの日数が早い。さすがに電波なので時間は正確。残念ながら日本語取説を要求したにも関わらず、難儀した。しかし、時計自体はマッドブラック調で最高です。
