I started the previous thread on "What I would like to see in a LED Watch". It is now 10 pages long so I felt it was time to start a new thread.
I started the previous thread by listing MY PERSONAL requirements for a new LED watch. I will relist them here as I do want to compare them against 3 new LED watches; 1. The new "Time Computer" 2. MJ's new watch and 3. the new unbranded Green drivers watch. I may be wrong about my answers - if I am wrong somebody please correct me!!
1. Good quality saphire crystal - no mineral glass etc
Time Computer - Yes
MJ - ????
Green Side view - Dont think so
2. High quality "hard" stainless case, steel band and clasp - not something that will scratch the clasp or band the first time you are at your desk and rub it on the desk top!
Time Computer - Yes
MJ -???
Green Side view ???
3. One push button to tell time etc (NOT A PIMPLY LOOKING THING) with a second recessed button for setting everything. i.e. Adidas's buttons are pimply looking and ill placed, and at a min the date and time buttons shoud be reversed, they are stupid in their present configuration / location.
Time Computer - Yes
MJ - not pimples but still two buttons, although they are very nice looking
Green Sideview - Pimple Buttons
4. Hour, second, month, date display WITH THE CAPABILITY of setting seconds.
Time Computer - Yes
MJ - No
Green Sideview - No
5. Screw off / on battery button - similar to the early Wits, Bulovas, etc - not the Pulsar type. NO PRY OFF CASEBACK WHATSOEVER!!!
Time Computer - ???
MJ - ???
Green Sideview - Not sure but I do not think so
6. Signed band as well as clasp
Time Computer - I think so
MJ - I think so
Green Sideview - ???
7. Serialized with an online registery / warranty process etc - never a doubt about origin etc. I bought my wife a Moissanite ring and the Charles and Colvard site made it very easy to register the individual stone / serial # as well as make you eligible for their lifetime warranty - so this should not be a hard thing to do - other retailers also do this.
Time Computer - Yes
MJ - Dont think so
Green Sideview - No
8. Good reliable well made electronic module - not another .99 cent module from China etc. THIS IS A MUST IF I SEE ANOTHER CHEAP PIECE OF C---- module I will scream!
Time Computer - Yes (based on input from the Time Computer)
MJ - ???
Green Sideview - ???
9. Good design - not another knockoff
Time Computer - Totally Yes
MJ - Mostly yes
Green Sideview - NO - Bulova, Adidas, & others already did this
10. Waterproof to 5 Bar - not something that goes under the first time you wash your hands!!
Time Computer - Yes
MJ - ???
Green Sideview - ???
11. Easily adjustable band size (large enough to fit a good sized wrist) - okay if you have to bring it to a jeweler - but it should not make the jeweler scream in frustration when they try to resize it!!
All 3 ????
12. NO PLASTIC PARTS ANYWHERE ON THE WATCH!!!
Time Computer - No plastic
MJ - Dont think so
Greene Sideview - Dont think so
13. Decent UNDERSTANDABLE instruction / warranty booklet.
All 3 ?????
In addition, others who replied to the thread had the following as requirements: I liked these so I added them to my list.
Alarms
Time Computer - Yes
MJ - No
Green Sideview No
Flick on (Like the P4)
Time Computer - Yes
MJ - No
Green Sideview - No
I realize others on this forum have different opinions about the new Time Computer but the BOTTOM LINE IS - THIS WATCH MET MOST OF MY PERSONAL REQUIREMENTS AND WILL GET MY MONEY.
