Olympic Sunset Jump Hour Automatic

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.

husband collects watches so i thought this would be a perfect gift ! works great and looks amazing !

I don't own a watch. I didn't, before I saw these. These are perfect watches. It's beautiful and getting it started was really easy just following the manual (for this one specifically, DEFINITELY follow the manual). I'm extremely picky about watches. I have a tiny wrist (6-6.25 inches around) and most of the time watches don't fit me, or look too big and bulky, or they're just ugly. For anyone wondering, I push the buckle to the second smallest hole on the wristband for my size. I was shocked that it actually fit me if I'm being honest. The face isn't as big as I thought it would be, but that's a good thing. As said before, most are too bulky and large for me. I'll never have complaints about this one. I'm terrified of breaking it, but getting it was worth every penny. I wish I had a reason to wear more than 1 watch at a time because then I'd buy them all, but wearing one is enough for me. I'll cherish it for as long as it'll last me.

This watch is a wonderful piece of functional art. It keeps good time and in the last two weeks of wear has stayed wound just from my daily activity.

The only thing I would change is to make the hour number larger and possibly glow-in-the-dark. The watch is hard to read in low light. Nevertheless, it is a gorgeous piece at which I often find myself staring.
