5.0 out of 5 stars
Features I wanted, July 17, 2009
This review is from: National Geographic Men's NG770C Aviator Solar Slide-Rule Bezel Watch (Watch)
Vendor shipped item promptly and well packaged. Watch has combination of features that I wanted: slide rule (though numbers are small and require good light to read -- expectable!), solar recharge, atomic clock updating. I guess the only criticism I would have so far is that the buttons that change features are below the level of the watch case and thus must be pushed with a small pointed tool. This is no big deal with the watch setting button that (hopefully) only needs to be used once. But the other button switches the LED from date to seconds display and is something I want to use now and then. It would be nice to not have to go searching for something to depress the button.
So far (a few weeks), the watch is performing perfectly. So far the crystal is remaining scratch-free (a factor for me as I occassionally have to put it in a pocket with keys, coins, etc.), but I wish it was sapphire, as from experience with former watches, I know sapphire remains scratch-free for many years. All in all, a great watch so far. I'm in California and it seems to pick up the Colorado updates fine -- time is always correct.
