It’s a power reserve indicator on the Bell & Ross, tells you whether it needs winding, looks like a second hour hand on the cheapie.
This has Bluetooth, no idea why.

Certainly a lot better looking than the previous offering!

I like that watch, but would prefer a black strap.

The Seiko solar watch I got for Christmas has been pretty much unworn since then, and has spent its Spring sat on the dressing table. This morning I thought I'd have another go at making putting it on part of my daily routine.
Before that I needed to reset the time, and as I hadn't changed it when the clocks went forward I saw that apart from being an hour slow it is also 7 seconds fast - is that normal? It seems pretty good to me
This is what I used to set the time:

That's only a little more than a second a month, I think that's pretty good for a mechanical watch.

In order to achieve chronometer status, a watch must keep time correct to within a minute a month. So your watch keeping time correct to a second a month is remarkable.
Easily attained with digital watches, but obviously more difficult with mechanical designs.
BTW, the most accurate time piece one can have is a smartphone!

It wasn't an expensive watch, so I'd expect there to be variations in accuracy. I must have got lucky. I'll check again later this year.Originally Posted by Barry

This owes me £8.49 (paid more than that for a strap) and seems to be keeping perfect time.
