Monarchy Watches Union Jack Metal Watch - 2008 BCS

Item # MCH0001

Strap on the Monarch Union Jack Metal Watch and show respect to the Queen you scallywag. This supa-dupa strong stainless steel watch features digital and analog displays, and shows time zones from thirty cities—so you’re covered across the empire. The Monarch Union Jack’s oversized case gives you the clout of 007, and features like an alarm, chronograph, and timer help you keep tabs on the world.

Bottom Line:

Sterling style.

Democracy Rules or Viva Socialsim, but Monarchy is dead

By:

This watch is touted to be premium, but falls well short of the claim.

When opened, the watch band circumference expands only about an inch. Thus, many wearers will not be able to fit their hands through. Add another link and the watch band has too much room when closed and flops around on the wrist.

The size of the band is also too wide to swap out with a different band at the jewelry store.

Quite a few notable time zones (namely, US Mountain, 2 in Europe, etc.) are missing. Theoretically, one could change the time, but it would still say LAX or DFW.

All in all the watch itself does look cool, and has a great design, but fails in it's ability to sit on the wrist and tell the proper time (the definition of a watch).

Take a gamble only if you have very small hands, a very large wrist, live in NYC or LA and don't plan on traveling much.
