Review on Slow Jo 24 - Swiss Made Single-Handed 24-Hour Watch - Black with Black Leather Band by Anthony Watkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well designed, built, simply good. O

I've only had this gem for a few days but wow. That's how it is. You'll probably have to tweak it more than once or twice to get it perfect, but don't blame this watch for that. This is human error. We tend to fail with accuracy. After several attempts, I slowed down, cycled through TWO 24-hour cycles, and stopped exactly at fifteen minutes (thinner lines). I left the needle on the watch, waited for the computer clock (phone app) second hand to hit 12 on the 15th minute, and pushed the stem back into place. Push and twist the bar to get ready and go. Forty-eight hours later and dead. Be patient. That's what these hours mean. By the way, the quasi-octagonal design is simply gorgeous. 3:00 AM, 9:00 AM, 3:00 PM, and 9:00 PM are grouped in X-Blocks, making their boundaries more intuitive. Great design! Highly recommended product. I read previous reviews. All personal opinions and all valid. Except for one. The fact is that the leather strap is too hard. What? Leather goods, including watch straps, are usually delivered raw. it's up to you what YOU prefer. Leather coats, jackets, motorcycle gear, vehicle seats, boots, shoes, belts, bracelets. all different. For this? I chose Leather Honey and it worked great. but other products should work as well. My strap is now as soft as three layers of suede. Get lost.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Something's wrong
