I really wanted to like the watch, but the jump hour is almost illegible. I can’t recommend the watch until they fix this critical issue. I now have a watch I can’t use.
Hey there!
You are welcome to reach out to our team anytime regarding a return. If you are not happy with this particular model, we are always happy to assist you.
Love the look! My only gripe is that the sea lion blocks the jump hour number around the 38 minute mark. I now happily own 2 watches from you guys and I'm looking forward to more! :D
Noted on the sea lion! I'm glad you love it otherwise! Thanks for taking the time to leave us some feedback!
While the art work is great, reading the jump hour is next to impossible. Recommend making the numerals and color behind the number easier to read.
Also, why is the crown on the left side?
Hello,
Thanks for the feedback. There are some limitations on hour big the hours can be because of the design of the movement that the watch is built around. This is also the reason why the crown is at the 9hr because in order to have the hours in the kelp forest the whole movement was rotated 180º so the crown goes with it.
As this was our first collection and we're new to illustrative ways of telling the time, there has been a learning curve. We have taken steps for higher contrast on all future designs so we do appreciate the review. Thanks
This was a great gift for my friend!
What a sweet surpised! I hope they are still enjoying this timepiece!
I love the size, shape, feel and design. Very happy with this purchase.
Thank you so much for supporting Asterisk!
