Despite all the negative qualities of this watch mentioned by all, and which I mostly agree with,it's still a jolly good quality,good looking,useful watch,packed with facilities at a bargain price.(that is if you've shopped around on-line instead of buying it in the high street at a hundred quid more).The case and bracelet are really substantial not the usual folded tin construction, and adjustment to fit a normal wrist may need a visit to a watch repairer if you're not a handyman.The collars round the two right-hand buttons are just window dressing.They don't adjust the hands for example or anything else.As to the ning-nong that tried to charge one under a tungsten bulb and it melted,well,nuff said.The lack of a sweep second hand is probably to save power,the minute hand only ticks over at 10 sec. intervals too.I'd say that if you're into this sort of gadget, you've probably got a smart-phone that does a hundred more tricks than this,and does them better.There's only so much visible and controllable hi-tech you can fit on a wrist.Above all it's still one of the few quality solar, radio-controlled watches around, and you're always going to be able to tell the time with it unless you live down a mine.What else is a watch for? As a last resort if you're still not sure how to work it,Just keep a PDF of the manual on your phone so you can still reset it "in the foreign".I don't need a Citizen endorsed by the Blue Angels at twice the price. When am I gonna fly an F-18? Read all the reviews and then... Buy It! EDIT: 8 months later.Slight wear on black bezel paint at 12 o'clock,two faint scratches on glass, numerous faint scatches on bracelet.Two resets of hand home position(20 secs out).Although it's shock-resistant,put it in your pocket when you're working with power tools.Otherwise working great,always fully charged,synchs with home radio-controlled clocks perfectly.Love the two-click "move the hands to another time-zone" facility! Why's it gone back up to £250? Mine was £150!Scarcity due to the Japanese earthquake? Not such a bargain now.
