My wife bought a couple of these watches they looked so cool online. I didn’t pay too much attention to them before buying so I was a little disappointed when mine came in. Sadly I thought the seconds moved with the picture, but it’s with the minutes, so water doesn’t appear to be flowing, like in the animated picture online. It’s obviously sped up, but since it moves with the minutes it’s much much slower, barely noticeable. I’m keeping my Olympic one, it’s still very nice and unique, at a fair price. One last little issue is mine doesn’t seem as highly defined as the online picture, maybe it’s a lighting thing. You can even see the two Olympic watch pictures are different themselves. Just pointing this out if you aren’t seeing it in person. I still recommend buying. I was also pleasantly surprised the back side is open so you can see how it’s operating inside, that was a nice surprise and a big reason why I kept it. I think the ones that move with the sky would be really cool, assuming the night/day matches with time of day. But the lava flow, my wife’s, isn’t flowing in real time either. I’d pay more for the watches, if they could figure out making the water/lava flow in real time. If it can move with seconds?
Beautiful watch, i love it!
I really like the original design of the watch dial but it has two significant flaws as a practical watch. First, it is too difficult to read the time -- the hour should be more prominent and visible. Second, the oscillating weight, makes a very loud sound when it moves. if these could be improved, it would be a great watch.
Absolutely beautiful watch, very nicely produced with a case that looks and feels high quality. Reliable delivery.
I wanted to give this 2.5 stars, but since I have to choose, I went down a star. I love the concept and design of this watch. But, it fails as a time keeping device. The hour indicator number is blue, not white as shown in the pictures. And the position does create shadows. You can only see it in direct, bright light at the right angle. The minute numbers are small and difficult to see, but I got used to it. The hour number being almost invisible is too major a flaw to blow over. I had high hopes and was really rooting for this.... Too bad I can't tell the time.
