Great entry level single-hand watch
I have had this for a few weeks. It is accurate and keeps time great. It is made very well for the price. If the name of a popular brand on the dial, it would easily be twice the price.This company didn't invent the single hand watch, and they don't claim they did (like some other brands). You can pay $1000s of for a single hand watch (check out MeisterSinger). This isn't the watch you wear when you need to know the time, is the one you wear when you just want to keep track of the time and chill. In some ways it's better at keeping track of time, you can clearly see how much of your day is left; it's like an analog gauge for your day. If you look closely, it is precise enough to estimate the time within 5 minutes. However, that's not the point; it is to help you to stop worrying so much about the time.There are some quirks. It is essential a GMT movement without the other hands installed. The first position will change the time the date switches, set it in the second position. Also, the movement takes time to catch up with the hand, so you may need to set it a little ahead. I got mine dead on accurate after playing with it. I think these quirks are expected for the price.Do a try before you buy if you are unsure. This is a great entry into the single-hand watch world.

tal cual lo venden
me gusto. muy original y a primera vista acabados razonables. ojo que no es reloj para todos los dias, con 24hr en la esfera se pierde mucha precision

No point in a watch that tells the wrong time!
I set the time on the watch on arrival and noticed it was running fast.To ensure it had nothing to do with wearing the watch I set it at midnight and left it on my desk. At 10am “real time” the watch showed it was 13:30I guess even a broken watch would be more accurate as it would be correct twice in 24hrs ;)

Very good watch for the money
I've been wanting a 24 hour watch where the hand makes one revolution per every 24 hours. I saw another one that was similar to this one, but $300 (for just a quartz movement, no less!), which was waaaaay too much for what's essentially a novelty complication.But at $65, this one hits all the right spots. The strap that comes with it, eh, but I put a good NATO strap on it and it's perfect!The indices are not easy to read at a glance, but if you take a second more than usual and your eyesight isn't bad, it works just fine.There's 3 indices between each hour mark, dividing it into 15, 30 and 45 minute marks. You can see when it's half way between two marks, so you can guess the time to within about plus / minus 7 minutes, which is pretty solid.The hand moves very slowly and at first, you might not think the battery is good, but it is very accurate, you just have to get used to how slow the hand moves when there's 24 hours on a watch dial.For the price, if you're looking for a unique, true 24 hour watch, this one can't be beat!

Expert Review
Well truthfully this one LARGE watch! This truly helps me read it without my glasses. I have owned the original Slow Jo watch for several years now. The Slow Jo watch though heavier than this one is much smaller. I have had problems with the Slow Jo falling off my wrist (KLUNK) as the pins on the band let go. I called the company and they sent me new pins to no avail. SO I now have a soft leather strap with medical tape on the full length of the strap in hopes of saving the watch from falling off my wrist again. Bad design.Now this watch being lighter hopefully will not have that problem. I love the look of this watch, black band and hand, white face. The stainless steel case looks great though the instructions caution the owner to be wary about rust. Stainless-rust Whatever. If this brand new watch suffers any deterioration I will update this review. PS though the face is large it is not 17 feet across for which I am very grateful. 17 feet would make driving difficult.

More of a concept
The materials are great. The craftsmanship is excellent. The watch seems solid and looks good on the wrist. However, it's kind of like wearing the concept, or re-imagining, of what time is, if that makes any sense, which ultimately defeats the purpose of wearing a watch in the first place. It tells time in a generalized, ballpark of what time it actually is. When the hand is resting between numbers, it could be somewhere between 7:30 and 8:00; you're not really sure. If you have excellent eye-sight, you might be able to be more accurate, but a quick glance at it will give you pause as you try to determine if it's closer to 1:00 or 2:00. Overall a statement piece, but not that functional for time telling.

Looks sharp but not as practical as I hoped
This is actually a sharp-looking watch and sure to start conversations if you pose correctly. It didn’t illicit any responses for me, but I mostly bought it reframe my concept of time expenditure. In the long run, the extra 12 numbers crammed along its edge made all of them too tiny for me to read. I’m not sure that’s avoidable. Perhaps a much larger version of this would make a nice wall clock.Also, it seems the band does not need to be such a vivid hue. It’s basically orange.
