It is a good usable watch.
There are two A5 instruction sheets inside the box, one in English, one in German. The watch is easy to set up. You merely hold down the Mode button for about 5 seconds, then use the Adjust button to set the correct hour then the correct minute. I made sure to set the minute at the same time as a minute was updated on my radio-controlled clock. I have had the watch for about 3 weeks. It has kept excellent time, the minute on the watch being updated at the same time as the minute on the radio-controlled clock.Apparently, the watch runs on two CR2032 batteries, which you change yourself if you have a small screwdriver.The strap is black plastic, quite thick, and quite wide. I find it comfortable.I received my watch for less than £17 poiunds, and it seems excellent value for the price.Note that it is not waterproof. The face is not illuminated, so it can be quite hard to read in bad light.The time is not displayed permanently. When you press either the Mode or Adjust button to obtain the time, the LEDs remain lit for 6 seconds before turning off again. Initially, this can be too short to determine what the time is, but you soon learn to use tricks. For example, if the 32 minute LED is not illuminated, but all of the LEDs to the right of it are illuminated, then the minute must be 32-1 = 31. Again, if the 8 minute LED is not lit, but all others are, then the minute must be 63-8 = 55.Other reviewers have said that they have received comments from other people who see it in use. No-one has yet commented on my watch, but I use it strictly as a watch rather than as a conversation piece.I enjoy using the watch and wear it whenever there is little likelihood of rain. I am glad that I bought it.

Great novelty watch
OK, it's not going to appeal to everybody, but this is in fact a smart, comfortable and lightweight watch that also looks really cool and gets people's attention. Seems robust and well made, and has plenty of strap, unlike many of these, particularly far-eastern, "novelty" watches.

Nice watch, strap is sized for men
It's a nice watch and it arrived in really good time (I used amazon's free shipping).My experience mirrored other reviewers - when setting the watch the instructions say it flashes, but it did not for me. It was fine though, if you are bright enough to have a binary watch you're probably bright enough to set it.My only negative comment may not come as a surprise - this watch is unisex but leans more towards men. As a female I have to have the watch on the smallest loop and it looks HUGE on my wrist - I will probably make a new strap for it at some point. There's no doubt people will notice I have this on which isn't the subtle look I was going for when I bought it.If there was a female version I'd recommend that to other women thinking of buying this, but alas there is not (unsurprisingly!)Overall it's a nice watch and has a neat, sleek look.

Great watch! would buy again
Had this watch for a few months now.Had no problems with it, seems quite robust no sign or wear and tear to say I wear it a lot.It takes a while to get used to telling the time if you're not used to reading binary.Be prepared to explain to people how you read it multiple times.NOTE: Button is pressed to show time, not easy to read in bright sunlight

Poor Quality
Watch does as it says. Very neat. My problem is that I can’t change the time to account for the hour going back. Definitely a faulty watch rather turn a type fault.

Great for geeks and white haired computer engineers!
I worked as a computer engineer from mid 60s so I used binary a lot - great reminder of the old days! Good looking item, works as described and keeps good time of course. People who don't know about binary counting are mystified as to how I can read the time from the watch!Only small problem (same on second one I bought as a present) is that LEDs do not flash during setup which is a bit confusing at first.

Love the watch, it broke quickly
When I first received the watch, I had typed out the review you can find below. Unfortunately, the watch broke quite quickly - not sure how long, I'd say 2-4 weeks. I know it's only about 30 quid but that's very soon. The watch still functions, but the face fell off, and it doesn't look right without that (obviously!).There are no other 2-star reviews at time of writing. Maybe mine was the only one that broke. Maybe they were written upon first receipt before it broke. I don't know, but I like this watch enough that I will try ONE MORE TIME and hopefully this one will not break ...'I love this watch. I've worn it for a few days, and I'm delighted. I can't speak to the long term quality as I have only had it for a few days. It seems good enough quality on a superficial level anyway. I'm very glad that someone makes this watch though! I picked it after looking at a lot of binary watches on Amazon and decided this was the best one for me. Definitely only for people who are familiar with binary or someone who really wants to learn it (or who want a cool watch that doesn't tell the time!) - an electronic engineering degree helps me for sure.Getting to the point, it just looks so cool on my wrist. I keep checking the time just to see the face turn red and so I can work out the decimal time from the binary. And already someone has asked me the time after spotting it, naturally a good conversation starter. Basically it's what I hoped it would be. I hope it doesn't break or anything like that.It comes with easy to follow instructions on how to set the time using the two buttons. Note that it doesn't give 24hr time, it does 12 hr. As in, 5pm is 5 rather than 17. This is because there are 4 bits for the hours (max. 16). And the minutes are 8 bits. Don't expect it to go through all 8 bits obviously, 2^8 is 64, there are only 60 minutes. This caught me off guard at first which is why I'm sharing.Anyway, I have no complaints yet.'
