Really happy with my purchase! The watch looks fantastic and works like a charm. Only slight downside is that it’s a bit heavier than expected, but nothing too drastic.

Purchased it as a treat for myself, fascinated by how the Nixie tubes work. They give off such a nice warm glow, and the time is easy to read even in low light. Can’t fault it!

The watch looks great, but I was a bit disappointed with the packaging. It came in a standard box, nothing special considering the price. Wish it had something more fitting for gifting.

This watch is a curious blend of the old and the new. The Nixie tubes display the time in such a unique way, it always catches people’s attention. Feels solid with its aluminium case and the sapphire crystal is a nice touch. Charging it wirelessly is also quite handy; never seen anything like it before.
