commented on The YES WorldWatch V7, connecting man made and natural time. ·

This is the ultimate moon phase watch. I bought one, as it was recommended to me by an MIT astronomer friend. It is unique, digitally providing information on sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, length of twilight, etc., and with a novel display on the watch's face with the same information. It also has a special surprise for the solstices and equinoxes. Additionally, it helps navigate multiple time zones, switching with a simple button push.

My only negative is that to get all that functionality, it is on the thick side, though surprisingly comfortable to wear.

I also want to call out the excellent customer service. My watch had a minor flaw, which I asked Bjorn about, and despite saying I could live with it, he insisted on replacing the watch, and the new one showed up 24 hours later...trusting me to return the original—a great experience.
