Sports & Outdoors Pre-Holiday Deals
What holiday do they have in mind? Christmas already? Or Halloween at the weekend?
What's this fancy watch got to do with Sports and Outdoors?
Anyway, so this watch has a 4th hand. The product description says "With a [sic] added 24 hour arrow hand", so I guess that hand goes around once a day? For that, shouldn't the inner ring of numbers be 0,2,4,☐,8...22? Having just the PM hours 13,14,☐,16...23 doesn't match up with what the 4th hand is doing. (☐ is the date window.)
And I have some skepticism that the list price is $495 when it's selling for $60. And how does a watch "deliver a grandeur performance"?
I like the big roman numerals. And I liked the 13-23 (preferring "24" (or zero) instead of the "S"), until that 4th hand was added. I'd like the 4th hand too, if the dial made sense with it (maybe even with 24 numbers around).
Do I have to correct the date after the 5 months that don't have 31 days? (Digital watches can just do this crazy stuff. Why don't we have 5 31-day months and 7 30-day months? Or 13 28-day months and 1 extra day?)
