Democracy Rules or Viva Socialsim, but Monarchy is dead

By gueltron July 8, 2010

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.
