Please check these out on the net and would like some reactions as to quality and design.
I believe they are of danish design. i think they look cool!

Nice watches.
I like the design a lot - minimalistic and timeless - "typical danish", by Fleming Bo Hansen.
That's why I have 2 of them, Watch II and Watch III


Quality is very good if you don't count the first version (cheap plastic, not sold any more).

The Watch V is too bulky, IMHO:


The photos above are all computer-rendered images. I'll soon post some photos I made.

Ok here's Watch II, model 43103.

Photos I made:

And here Watch III, model 43230:

Again actual photos from older Rosendahl site (sorry, no frontal photo):



These I made when replacing the battery (no, you needn't take the whole module apart, but you can ), battery type is CR1216 BTW:

Not MY fingerprints inside! And the adhesive tape is factory work too.

I prefer the V. I would buy it if it had a backlight.

[rewolf]

Yup, no backlight, forgot to mention. The only drawback.
But not a huge problem because the digits are large and have good contrast. Easily readable in very dim light. If you still see enough to not stumble over things, you can also read the display.

[ronaldheld]

Good point

[rewolf]

Beware, I can only speak of Watch II and III. The V you prefer has a) smaller digits and b) many more LCD segments, thus a higher multiplex ratio, probably (not neccessarily) resulting in reduced contrast.
