ESQ SWISS Watches: ESQ by Movado Men's Aerodyne Ana-Digi GMT Watch #07301132

Product Description

The men's Aerodyne watch from esq combines simple elegance with a travel-oriented design. Featuring a stainless-steel band with a fold-over-clasp-with-safety and attractive black accents, a 46-millimeter stainless-steel case, and a sturdy black dial loaded with the names of world cities, the Aerodyne is a true favorite for any world traveler. This Swiss powered timepiece displays day and date in digital format, and the unidirectional bezel delivers additional functionality.

I bought this watch from Ebay, but it came with all of the Amazon paperwork (originally came from Amazon). It is still in NEW CONDITION with the plastic covers on. Now, YES, this watch looks & feels great, HOWEVER......
I'm continually having to adjust the analog hands and "SYNC" them up with the Digital Time???!!! **This happens within a 24-48 hour period!! Sometimes the hands run fast, sometimes slow??? I know this particular piece is probably a couple years old and the back plastic states the battery needs replacing in 2010 (NO indication that the battery is running out of juice), but I never thought the hands would require this much effort. I've had MANY Ana-digi's and not ONE of them has performed like this. Unfortunately, since I bought it from a person on the 'bay, I have no Warranty to get it serviced (probably past the 2 year window anyway!)
>>Is this the way this particular movement performs?? Or, did I just get a lemon? Any help/comments would be greatly appreciated! It's such a sweet piece, I'd hate to get rid of it!

if you are looking for an analog/digital watch this is the one to get. the carbon fiber band on this thing is definitely flashy and will break a lot of necks. i don't know what the previous reviewer is talking about (maybe you have a defective watch?), but i think ESQ did the best they can to make this thing easy to set yet still retaining all the features. it took me 10 minutes to figure out how to set everything, you even have the option to turn daylight savings time on and off. overall an excellent purchase!

just to let people know: i was able to adjust the time, alarm time, world time, and daylight savings time in about 15 minutes of messing around with the watch. i love it when it adjusts to different time zones, the hands sweep around to the new time, tres cool! it is a hefty watch, 14-15mm thick and 42mm in diameter, but it feels 'good', a bit more serious as sport watches go.
it's different isn't it? i like the seconds ticking away on the radial lcd ring and i really really like how it easily adjusts to different time zones. i've been looking for some time for a multi time zone watch, seiko does a good job, but i wanted something swiss and something different; this is it. very precise alignment of all the rings and markers on the face; very impressive.
sadly my only grip is that it is only rated water resistant to 30m.
if you don't mind the thick 'retro' styled dive watch, take a look, this baby rocks!

This is a very cool looking watch. It looks great and gets plenty of attention. The problem is the it is extremely difficult to set the time. Recently, my watch's time was off by about 10 minutes. Tried to set it (followed the hard to understand instructions to a T) for hours, and finally gave up. Brought it back to Rogers and Hollands to set it for me. After leaving it with them for about an hour. I was told they will send it in to get set. Two months later I am still without my watch. I was told it would be several weeks.

Maybe you will have better luck. I love the watch when it is on my wrist.

I bought this watch a few months ago at the mall. The first weekend one of the dials fell off and was lost. I was able to return it to the store and was given a new watch. Within the last month I noticed that I now have a cracked crystal. I havent priced how much that will cost to replace. Other than that, the watch looks cool. I get a lot of "that's a cool watch" remarks.

One note, this watch is extremely hard to set the time. I still have no idea, the next time the time changes I will be bringing it back to the store to set it for me.
