Olympic Sunset Jump Hour Automatic

Probably not the best choice to quickly tell you the time, but a very interesting thing to have on your wrist. Strangely, for me its not the jump hour that’s hard to read, but the minute markings which are very low contrast, light orange on a white background. Would have awarded 5 stars had the movement been from closer to home.

Really like the overall appearance of this watch including the open rear window during the mother's. Not an easily read timepiece but you don't buy something like this for its functionality but rather for it's style and friendship movement. I am disappointed in the quality of the band and quickly purchased a sturdy more reliable option with a better clasp.

Awesome watch, arrived perfectly

Great watch - finishing and construction are very good. Dial is very neat and well done. It's not really difficult to tell time with the watch, about the same as any other jump hour watch. Overall, a great deal and a nice watch.

I got this watch as part of the Kickstarter. It’s beautiful, comfortable, fits well. It keeps time efficiently day after day (with regular use but even then if it stops overnight, just wear it for a little bit and there’s no problem getting the movement back). I love that I don’t have to worry about replacing the battery. However I don’t really wear it often after a few weeks of trying it out earlier this year - mostly only in day time where I know I’ll be in good lighting (the office, mainly) because the hour numbers are especially difficult to read. It is because there is little contrast on the minutes for design purposes and the way the watch is layered, the hour number is set pretty deep into the watch, so it is typically shadowed over. You can see them in the product pictures, but even then those are well lit photos. So this is not a watch for the nighttime or low lighting environments (a watch for all hours, if you will). Obviously I don’t expect it to light up or be legible in perfect darkness, but I’d say if I was in a room with natural sunlight and no direct overhead light, I should be able to tell what hour it is. I’m not sure there’s much to be done here other than changing how the watch is constructed - so this is more an FYI. Attaching a photo to show what it looks like in natural light.
