 Momentum Men's Titan Ii Alarm Titanium Bracelet Watch #1M-SP30B0 By: St Moritz Watch Corp Average Rating: 4.0 Total Reviews: 4 More Information Best Watch. Period.  On: 2008-04-30This watch offers fantastic functionality in a very attractive shell. The screw down crown ensures that you wont destroy it with a swim, or some dishes, or snorkeling, or any other water intensive activity. The alarm button makes using the alarm simpler than on any other alarm watch I own, including digitals. The chronograph is straightforward and even gives a little chirp when you start/stop. The watch is very light (nearly as light as a skagen) thanks to the all titanium construction, and it wont hamper or alter your movements in the least. Another advantage to the titanium is that it tends to adjust to your body temp fairly fast, so no freezing left (or right as the case may be) wrist while you wait for the case to warm up. The Titan II is tough, versatile and gorgeous, its a great watch if you like to mix work and pleasure so to speak. OK Watch  On: 2008-01-02I purchased this watch with a black face. Visibility is a problem. The dials and hands tend to blend in with each other making telling time difficult. The watch is on the small side for a mans watch so the date and subdials are tiny. Setting the alarm requires unscrewing the stem. The alarm may be useful as a reminder but is too soft to wake up an average sleeper. OK Watch On: 2008-01-01I purchased this watch with a black face.

Good watch overall  On: 2007-10-10Ive had this watch a few months now. It looks good. Its durable. Ive bumped into a bunch of things with it, and the face has no scratches. Its very light. Its also versatile. I can wear it when dressed formally or to the gym. My only complaint is that the chronometer hands need to be zeroed often. The best all round watch known to humanity On: 2007-08-17The St. Moritz Titan II is the best watch on the face of the earth, bar none. All you folks with R*l*xs, Om*gas, etc, feel free to kick yourselves. -Durable; Im not gentle on watches, but this one has handled everything Ive thrown at it with grace and style. Ive worn it in military environments, playing with the ultimate 5 yr old tomboy, swimming on the beach, doing yard work, etc and Ive polished the dull finish on the bracelet a little. The crystal is unscratched despite this treatment. -Accurate; by an atomic clock repeater, its good to less than 20 seconds a month. -Style; refined, understated, professional, classy. Its unobtrusive, goes equally well at a softball game in Alabama or among D.C. insiders, and projects quiet competence, rather than the usual brash vanity and insecurity displayed by folks wearing watches in the 4 to 5 digit price range. -Comfort; Its easy to forget youre wearing it as it is light and reasonably thin for a chronograph. -Functionality; HH:MM, Date all the time, the seconds display in the 6 oclock subdial but can be turned off. The chronograph is a fairly standard analog chronograph arrangement. The alarm can be set with about +/- 6 minutes of precision, but has a 5 minute snooze feature if you dont turn it off and is reasonably loud for a watch alarm. The titanium case and bracelet are non-staining, light, and incredibly durable (and non-ferrous; wont set off metal detectors therefore convenient at airports). The sapphire crystal is scratch-free despite my best efforts. The luminous stuff on the hands and face is adequate without being too bright (like tritium based luminous features), -Support/service; St. Moritz is fast, responsive, and competent in its support for their product. Their professionalism is second to none. The single improvement that could be made on this watch is a second time zone display, either with a bezel or a fourth hand (Id prefer the fourth hand, but the mechanism is pretty complicated already). But the advantage would be minor and probably wouldnt be worth the cost, or in the case of the bezel, the degradation of the elegant appearance. This watch is described as unisex. That is ill-considered. At a hair under 40mm, this is a small, mens (or small mens) watch, too big and too austere for women anywhere near the average range of wrist size. Ive got nothing against a woman choosing to make an austere, anti-foo-foo, non-sparkley, in-yer-face fashion statement, and this watch could work for that, but unisex is misleading. The St. Moritz is the single best watch Ive found, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. |
