 Uncertain time keeping March 24, 2006

I was anxious to receive this watch, as I was making a trip across the international date line. I was disappointed, as day after day it lost several minutes before I even left home. Each time it required several minutes of button pushing before it would re-synch, and even then it had to "see the sky" to synch. Once on my trip, it changed by about an hour and a half, and I nearly missed a plane. It went to the bottom of my suitcase for the rest of my trip, and I've asked for a refund.

The watch is a little larger and heavier than I had expected. It updates as advertised, but I was disappointed to find that I still have to select the time zones manually. I have been using a watch that has world times and been switching the zones manually for 20 years. I thought this watch would not only update timne, but automaticlly switch zones according to where you are in the world using the updaing systems around the world like my electric clocks at home. I do like the larger numbers, but the alarm is barely loud enough to hear and probably won't be loud enough to wake you up from sleeping.
 Excellent product!!! February 25, 2007

I'm a time freak, and love atomic clocks and watches. This one has all the bells and whisles I was looking for. It is also large enough to read for those with poor eyesight. I also like the three charactor letters for day of week feature.
Too Heavy & Too Big April 22, 2007

Be aware - this watch weighs 156 gms (5.5 oz) which is approximately double what most watches weigh. The watch body itself is equally large and awkward. Perhaps the watch needs to be that large to house all the electronics to receive the time radio signal.
I will have to take the word of the previous reviewer that the watch does not set the time zone as other atomic clocks do by using the radio signal, because my watch has yet to successfully receive a radio signal. It is currently off by 6 minutes and losing a few seconds every day.
I would return it, but I got it on woot (for $24.99). Perhaps this will make a good emergency gift for someone I do not like very much. :)

I too got one of these on Woot and mine does not receive the much vaunted radio signal to sync with the exact official time either...maybe Woot was saddled with defective units that have nothing to do with what Amazon has to offer, but you'd think that Fossil, no discount brand they, would produce a better product and police the distribution of clunkers.
