Review on 🕰️ Lad Weather Radio Controlled Solar Watch: Perpetual Calendar, Multi Timezone, Military Business Traveler’s Essential by Christy Collins

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's 1-2 minutes fast

I'm worried that the clock, which is calibrated daily by the atomic clock radio signal, will be 1-2 minutes ahead. I live about 947 miles from the transmitter in Fort Collins, Colorado in a straight line. Officially, the watch is outside the 900-mile range, but not by much. And while the signal is being received I don't see how this will affect the minute accuracy of the watch. It rubs me when I think about it. I have a black on black version of the watch with a black dial and black case. It looks its best, although I would have preferred the seconds hand to be red like the other models. A watch with a green and beige dial also looks good, but I don't like the shiny silver case. The case diameter is advertised as 43mm, but measured at the ends that protrude to hold the watch strap pins, the overall length is closer to 52mm, about 2 inches. It still fits my wrist, but you might not like something this size on your wrist. The English instructions are terrible. First, if the battery dies, which is to be expected when you first take your watch out of the box, you probably won't be able to set the time correctly. You have to let it charge during the day. Once charged I would recommend that you first check the time zone setting before proceeding with the day and date. When I pull the crown to the first position to set the day and date, the seconds hand starts spinning very quickly, overtaking the other hands and the day and date. Youtube has videos to walk you through the process.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Clarity
