Abacus Atomic Watch – Customer Reviews
Uncertain time keeping
-
I was anxious to receive this watch, as I was making a tripacross the international date line.I was disappointed, as day after day it lost several minutes before I even left home.Each time it required several minutes of button pushing before it would re-synch, and even then it had to "see the sky" to synch.Once on my trip, it changed by about an hour and a half, and I nearly missed a plane.It went to the bottom of my suitcase for the rest of my trip, and I've asked for a refund.

The watch is a little larger and heavier than I had expected. It updates as advertised, but I was disappointed to find that I still have to select the time zones manually. I have been using a watch that has world times and been switching the zones manually for 20 years. I thought this watch would not only update timne, but automaticlly switch zones according to where you are in the world using the updaing systems around the world like my electric clocks at home. I do like the larger numbers, but the alarm is barely loud enough to hear and probably won't be loud enough to wake you up from sleeping.
