Review on Slow Jo 05 - Swiss Made Single-Handed 24-Hour Watch - Silver with Black Leather Strap by Shannon Redd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Slowing down can be great

New favorite watch. Looks even better than in the pictures. For the first few days of owning it, I played guess what time it was, and almost immediately for a minute or two. It's not difficult. And how often does it actually matter, 1:00, 1:02, or 12:59? As someone who has way too many watches (at least according to my wife) this seems totally against my philosophy. I've always appreciated watches for bringing order to chaos. Slow clocks don't cause chaos, they just relax. Beautiful brushed steel finish on the unique bezel. The crystal is about a millimeter above the level of the bezel. The leather strap was soft and snug from the first second I put it on. Easily legible in normal lighting. Not very dim light, but that's not what I bought it for. Easy to set up and after a week the time is perfect. They suggest setting the time to the 15 minute mark (15-30-45-60) which is very important. I reset mine right at noon, simply because I've realized that at other times you can be a little off depending on the angle of the watch or wrist. This is me trying to bring order to "not chaos" 😀. I wear this everyday for a week which is pretty amazing if you know me.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
