Well as the admin I don´t want to use this forum as an advertisment platform for my own products. An announcement of a new module or this watch is OK, but everything else is bad manners. It´s a very small series production which I have to do in my free time. I am not able to produce in huge numbers. Beside that I don´t want everybody to own this product.
@your_man_in_Hamburg:
You are right, the manual hasn´t been translated 1:1. If you push the button 200 times per hour everybody knows what will happen. That´s also the case with the flick of the wrist feature which is the first one that actually works. It´s so much fun to activate it, so I am doing it quite often. But what should I have written? The battery life reaches from 1 hour if you push the button like crazy to 5 years for a collectors watch?
My wrist has a "tiny" circumference of just 175mm. The watch just feels right, not too small for today´s taste like the GP Casquette which seems more like a women´s watch now and not too big like the new Panerais, which do not look elegant anymore. I wanted to create a certain kind of elegant jewelry watch without an overloaded feature menu. That´s Casios range and they are good at it - very good.
I used all the space for a thick and heavy stainless steel case, the shape, the movement switch and the battery. Take a Synchronar and show it to someone who has no idea of LED watches. He will say it looks cheap as it´s so light and rattly. I don´t want to badmouth the Synchronar and I have maximum respect for its inventor. But after 40 years the sense for quality has changed and the #HGWC watch is no exeption. This quality comes at a cost just like the Pulsars and Synchronars in the early 70s. In 2055, I am sure people will say the same about the quality of today´s products.
