Excellent retro watch
Got this watch over a week ago and really pleased with it. I haven't worn it yet as I need to get the links removed from a shop. The watch has a nice weight to it due to the high quality steel they use and the thickness of the watch is pretty chunky. The display is very clear and has a dimm back light for night time only when you push the right hand side button. The delivery was excellent thanks to amazon's next day delivery service. Buyer's won't be dissapointed in the watch. I would recommended buying this only when it's on a amazon deal as £450. Is a little bit over priced. Overall a beautiful looking watch with quality steel used.

Ok but not Great
I like this watch but don’t love it....it is fairly elegant but it is a little less impressive than it looks in the pictures. The display is not-as bright as l would like but it is clear and functional...the back light however is very poor.

Great Design but extremely fragile.
I have wanted to buy this watch ever since its first press release. So when the watch finally became available on Amazon, I had no hesitation in placing my order.For a £450 watch, you would expect it to at least have a small degree of build quality.But after only a week of wearing this watch in the office, the glass has chipped. Yes, chipped. It did not even scratch due to a gentle innocuous catch with the office printer, it simply bypass that and chipped at the right edge. So what I am trying to say is that the glass is thin, fragile and definitely NOT shatter proof!If you can imagine a stone chip on your car wind screen and how annoying it is to have that every time you look out of your car.Extremely disappointed with Braun products and a complete waste of my hard earned cash. There is no way of repairing it so the watch is a write off.If you want a watch that you can only wear in bed, or wear completely wrapped in cotton wool, then this watch is for you.

Bargain!
I have been looking at these watches since they were first released back when they were first released, somewhere around ~2012. They were rather expensive at the time, something close to £500 with the steel bracelet models a little more expensive than the rubber strapped model I bought. That seemed to me at the time, too much for a digital watch, Red Dot Design Award or not. I recently saw that the price seemed much more reasonable at £150 - £175. I looked on Amazon and they indeed had some at those prices, and, seeing the rubber strapped, silver cased model was rather less expensive than the black version, added one to my basket. I then saw that I could have a 'Used' model for just £82.50. I checked this out and it was an Amazon Warehouse deal. Classed as having a small scratch on the body. I deliberated for ages - new at £155 or used at £82.50 almost half the price, but with the 'small scratch'. I went away, had dinner, came back, deliberated some more, had a coffee... Eventually I gambled on the used model from Amazon Warehouse, with the 'small scratch'. I figured that if I couldn't live with the scratch I could send it back and order the full priced one. I have to say I'm delighted.the watch is great, I've set the time, cleaned it (and I honestly can't see any scratches at all) and I'm wearing it now. Really happy. If I was to offer any criticism it would be that the strap doesn't suit my tiny wrists. As the strap tries to curve around my wrist the buckle digs square into my wrist bone and it is really uncomfortable. Perhaps the strap will loosen and flex a little more as I wear it, perhaps I'll be forced to replace the strap with a more flexible one.But the watch is great. And a great price too. Thanks Amazon Warehouse, thanks a lot.

Original Germanic Design
Firstly I have 2 of these; one strap and one bracelet. The strap is a lot lighter, but strap or bracelet are top top quality Display is clear and easy to read. I love having time day and date. The case quality is also great but the scroll wheels are fairly stiff and hard to turn. I don't mind that, at least it will not move accidentally and unless you want to use alarm and chronograph functions you will not need to use the scroll wheel much anyway. I found setting time and date easy to do and I normally struggle doing that on your typical digital watch. Instructions are good. I have no problem with accidental time changes etc as it is disabled on the main time view without pushing in the scroll wheel before turning. Value is amazing in my view at £117 for strap . Pity no solar power but can't comment on battery life yet, these are old designs though from 2011? I bought mine from Amazon EU direct and as i see some bad reviews from 3rd party sellers -probably customer returns. Mine were new and unmarked and working. Not a massive watch and not too heavy but does sit high on wrist as designed with no case lugs and with that edge to edge glass it is not one I would recommend for those who are hard on their watches -easy to bash. Perfect for casual use and design aficionados though!

Looked nice but didn't work.
Ordered watch which arrived on time and looked great. Unfortunately it didn't work. Suspect a flat battery. Shame lovely watch but had to return.

Big, chunky modern retro watch. ACE!
Really like this watch. It's extremely well made, has a real weight to it and is extremely comfortable. I haven't yet dabbled with the menus (some reviews say they are a bit fiddly) but so far I LOVE this watch. Far more stylish and individual than the Apple watch I'd say, and you don't have to charge it up every night ;o)

Red dot Ikone
Es dürfte nicht viele Red dot Uhren geben. Diese Uhr hat das dicke verdient. Schöne Digitaluhren sind äusserst rar. Darum ist diese Uhr richtig auffällig.Das Gehäuse ist aus Stahl. Das Material des schwarzen, oberen Teiles erschliesst sich mir nicht, aber es macht den Eindruck von Klavierlack. Die Rückseite, auch aus Stahl, ist mit vier Schrauben fixiert. Die Uhr ist zufolge des hohen Stahlanteils ziemlich schwer und macht qualitativ einen guten Eindruck.Die Bedienung erfolgt über den äusserst fein geriffelten Knopf links, der gedreht und gedrückt werden kann. Damit scrollt man durch die Bedienungspunkte und ändert die Einstellungen. Die Uhr bietet neben Zeit und Datum eine 12, resp 24 Stundeneinstellung, drei verschieden Datumsformate, sechs Sprachen, darunter Deutsch, sie bietet eine Stopp-Uhr, einen Timer, einen Wecker, resp. Alarm und eine zweite Zeit. Dazu kommt ein Energiesparprogram, das eingestellt werden kann. Der Red dot Award ist der Idee des Form follows-Function verpflichtet. Die Belobigung beruht also auch auf dieser Bedienung über einen dominanten Drehknopf.Dennoch ist diese Bedienungsform gewöhnungsbedürftig. Es hat ein bisschen gedauert, bis ich die Uhr präzise eingestellt hatte. Das Brillante an dieser Uhr hat als Kehrseite, dass man die Uhr öfter ein bisschen polieren muss.Die Uhr bietet auf dem Display keine Sekunde, wenn das Datum angezeigt wird. Soweit ich indessen feststellen konnte, läuft die Uhr genau. Das originale Kautschuk-Band bietet eine Faltschliesse. Die Schliesse reicht qualitativ nicht an die Uhr heran, was enttäuschend ist. Ich habe das Band durch ein schwarzes Lederband ersetzt, was gut passt.In einer kleinen Sammlung elektronischer Uhren darf diese Uhr nicht fehlen. Gefehlt hat sie mir so lange, weil es erstens viele negative Rezensionen gibt und weil die Uhr relativ teuer ist. Eine supergenaue Casio bekommt man für einen Bruchteil. Dann aber überwog der krasse Mangel an schönen Digitaluhren, dass ich diese Uhr dennoch kaufte.Ich habe es nicht bereut. Wer eine schöne Digitaluhr sucht, der kommt um diese Uhr, diese Ikone von Digitaluhr, nicht herum!P.S. Um das Energiespar-Feature einzuschalten, müssen die beiden Drücker links und rechts gleichzeitig gedrückt werden, bis sich der zweite Ton meldet. Wenn man mit dem Prozess erfolgreich sein will, muss man die Drücker blitzartig nach dem zweiten Ton loslassen. Wenn man erfolgreich war, sieht man das sofort: Man muss nichts neu einstellen, andernfalls schon.

Great watch.
It is a beauty watch. Is the most striking and best designed of all my watches, including Mido, Tissot, Omega and Victorinox. Complies with the principles of good design Dieter Rams.

Watch had problems.
I got a great deal on this watch, and Amazon shipped it overnight for free. The problem was the display on the watch was too dark, but worse than that, it would reset itself every time it was left sitting around for more than 12 hours or so. This happened when it was in power save mode. Maybe I just got a lemon, but I returned the watch for a refund. I like the design, but the watch was of a lower quality than expected.

Gewichtig aber außergewöhnlich
Die Uhr ist nicht ganz leicht am Arm. Die Einstellung war mit der "interaktiven Bedienungsanleitung (auf Papier gedruckt) anfangs etwas komplizierter, da sie eben nicht völlig selbsterklärend war, zumindest nicht für mich. Ich bin trotzdem begeistert und werde mir als nächstes das Armband in der Länge anpassen lassen, das mir übrigens als Stahlarmband wegen seiner matten Struktur sehr gefällt, denn es erinnert mich an die DW20 von Braun aus den 70er Jahren. Bisher also vollauf zufrieden.
