The watch was shipped promptly from the store and I was very pleased with their service. I ordered this watch as an amateur astronomer and hoped that it might actually be functional as a planisphere. Unfortunately, there are two problems that make it less than useful. The detail is so small that it is simply unreadable. However, a 2 inch magnifying glass is included that might have solved that problem; but, a 15 degree polar grid obscures the constellations making them impossible to identify behind the grid. It's too bad, because the one valuable watch complication is that the background planisphere dial rotates during the day keeping the sky in proper alignment. This would have made the planisphere truly useful had it been readable. I'm impressed that even with the large face, it still looks perfectly reasonable in size. The celestial dial is subtle and does not call undue attention. Reading it will take a little practice. To keep them from interrupting the image of the planisphere, the hands are so thin that it's necessary to angle the face to get a glint off some reflected light in order to read the regular time. Once adjusted to my small wrist, it is very comfortable to wear. I will keep the watch as it is a nice novelty and will make an attractive dress watch. it would not be much good for reading the time in a dark theater, let alone a star party. It also comes with a beautiful wooden presentation box that includes an integral space for the magnifier. ---Dwight LanpherRead full review

These are truly a gorgeous time piece and there is nothing currently produced that is like it. You may want to order one sooner rather than latter if you are interested in them because the company was recently bought and they may stop making them. They already stopped making the British GMT version and they are a British based company
