I know some "builders" of LED watches read this forum - so here is one mans very BASIC wish list!! No particular order of importance.
1. Good quality saphire crystal - no mineral glass etc
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!
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.
4. Hour, second, month, date display WITH THE CAPABILITY of setting seconds.
5. Screw off / on battery button - similar to the early Wits, Bulovas, etc - not the Pulsar type. NO PRY OFF CASEBACK WHATSOEVER!!!
6. Signed band as well as clasp
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.
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!
9. Good design - not another knockoff
10. Waterproof to 5 Bar - not something that goes under the first time you wash your hands!!
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!!
12. NO PLASTIC PARTS ANYWHERE ON THE WATCH!!!
13. Decent UNDERSTANDABLE instruction / warranty booklet.
Well thats it for now, I reserve the right to add other items if they come to mind.
What would others like to see in / on their "WISH WATCH"? Maybe someone will listen?
