I finally managed to get my younger brother to wear watches. Since he had his birthday on Sept 5, i bought him a Citizen Proximity Eco-Drive as a gift. (His own choice).

He received the watch on the 6´th Sept and he has still not figured out how to set it up correctly, even with the handbook. So i gave it a quick shot today. Uhm, i was not much more successful. Spent 20min reading the handbook but only got 5 min to fiddle around with the watch before he was heading home again.

Setting up the watch and syncing it with the iPhone is a bitch from my pov, even though i only spent a short time with it. Yes the app is downloaded and installed, but there are so many steps to do that it just gets confusing. No plug and play here.

Unless one is really into technical stuff like this, stay away! no.gif

The watch itself looks ok and sits nice on the wrist. Its a bit heavy for a quartz. But im guessing its because of the motor inside, that is supposed to send vibrations through your wrist when one receives a Mail/Message/Call.

The watch is also supposed to warn you if you get too far away from the phone. But since we have not had much "luck" yet to set up the watch. I cant tell you how well all these functions work. Once we figure this syncing stuff out, i´ll let you know how well it preforms these tasks above. At least it tells time correctly.


My personal opinion about this piece of metal, is that there's still a long way to go for a successful integration between cellphones and analog-watches.
