The hour change is quite rapid, about 1/2 of one Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26170ST.OO.D305CR.01 Mens Watch second, which is why it's called a 'jump hour.' This is more properly labeled a 'jump-hour regulator,' which denotes the central minute hand. It makes an attractive and unusual dress watch, though I must admit that the hours are harder to read than a normal 3-hand watch due to the small window and reflective metal surrounding it. The sides of the case are fluted, with high-gloss polish everywhere. The crown is onion-style, which is easy to wind and set, and does not screw down. While it's probably splash-resistant, I'd not get this watch wet.The dial has a nice amount of fine detail and is done in a classical style. The minute track and subseconds are circular-grooved, and the face has a mesh pattern impressed. The hands are blue, with Breguet-style minute Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26170ST.OO.D305CR.01 Mens Watch hand and *** second hand.
Disclaimer: We don't usually review low-end Chinese watches on WatchReport, but after much discussion and forum topics, we've decided to re-post this one. Today's review is something a little different from our usual fare: Presenting a classically-styled mechanical dress watch with an unusual complication, the jump hour 549-SG2709 from Alpha Watches.'Jump hour' requires a bit of explanation. If you look at 12 o'clock on the dial, you see a round window with the number '3' displayed. This is the hours, which are on a disc that changes at the top of the hour. Minutes are read from the long center hand, and seconds Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26170ST.OO.D305CR.01 Mens Watch are at 6 o'clock in a 'subseconds' configuration.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26132ST.OO.A100CR.01 Mens Watch in the Anza Borrego State Park
I was hoping to wear the WS4 hiking Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26132ST.OO.A100CR.01 Mens Watch in the Anza Borrego State Park, but ended up moving house instead, so the outdoor portion of this review will have to wait. The compass should be quite useful there. The altimeter is considerably more capable than I've yet put to use: You can set all sorts of alerts and alarms for max/min altitude, time above or below a set height, set four reference points, track time in or above a given altitude, graphically display ascent/descent and more. The weather forecasting on the WS4 uses barometric pressure Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26132ST.OO.A100CR.01 Mens Watch to predict the short-term trends, and is thus only slightly more useful than visual observation.
I wore the WS4 mountain biking around town, and the WS4 performed well: Even while bouncing along (cheap bike with rigid frame), the analog hour display was readable, and the big digits on the bitmapped area were readable too. The graphical display of altitude was nice, though I only used that to review the ride once I was done.I should mention another feature that I really like on this watch, the alarm. Long ago relegated to checkbox status, innovation in this area has languished. Not so on the WS4: By using the bitmapped display for prompts, you can easily select that it ring on weekdays, weekends, a specific day only, with five-minute backup alert. I used it to wake up on weekdays, and rather enjoyed not having it go off Saturday morning. It seems like a small thing, but I Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26132ST.OO.A100CR.01 Mens Watch appreciate the versatility it provides.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26020ST.OO.D001IN.01 Mens Watch of the strap
It also shows the comfortable curvature Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26020ST.OO.D001IN.01 Mens Watch of the strap. As with other ABC watches, the temperature gauge is no good while worn; your wrist is too distracting. Given the size of the WS4 and it's extreme temperature rating (-10 to 50C), you could easily wear it over your coat, though, and get accurate readings. Here's another angle of the two Timexes, showing their comparable thickness. The WS4 appears to be much larger than it is; the blocky case and superwide strap give a wrist presence much more imposing than reality. Here are a series of wrist shots. I've got approximately 7.25" wrists, by way of comparison. The WS4 sits very Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26020ST.OO.D001IN.01 Mens Watch comfortably, and though you'll not miss it's presence it is quite comfortable to wear.
The buttons are knurled and sized for gloves; the center Indiglo button is easy to press as well. Note that there's also a night mode, where any button press lights up the Inidiglo; convenient but hard on the battery. The integrated band has decorative hex head bolts, which may or may not fasten it to the case. In addition to the rubber here, there's also a nylon version available. On the black/green version, the buckle is matte-black steel, very nice. It's thin enough to be comfortable for extended wearing, too. Here's a comparison shot with an analog-digital Timex I bought and have been meaning to review - you can see that it's dwarfed by the WS4, but not as much Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26020ST.OO.D001IN.01 Mens Watch as you might think.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 25940SK.OO.D002CA.02 Mens Watch mode
(Only hour and minute hands are displayed.) In compass Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 25940SK.OO.D002CA.02 Mens Watch mode, it's used to display the emulated compass needle and direction. In the upper right, there's a bitmapped area used to display text (Such as "Compass," "Chrono" and such) as well as graphs from the altimeter/barometer. Below that, in the lower right, are segments used to display numbers: Time, lap times, splits, etc. (Actually, the lower left really is a fourth display area, and has glyphs for the weather forecast.) That's a lot to display on a watch face, and you can start to see why they went widescreen. Widescreen (from which the WS4 name is derived) gives more area to display information simultaneously, and I like the results. On the lower-right bezel, there are four glyphs, showing which mode the watch is in Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 25940SK.OO.D002CA.02 Mens Watch and also if the alarm is active.
Economy. This is Timex's first ABC watch, and they wanted it to be priced reasonably, in line with the rest of the Timex line. Given that list price is $199, I think that they succeeded.High-quality sensors and well-written software, combined to produce readings that are trustworthy, repeatable and as accurate as possible.Asymmetry. The notched-rectangle shape of the screen was inspired by the rear window of the expedition-classic Land Rover. (Expedition vehicle, Expedition line of watches. Makes sense, eh?)Easy to read.Use industrial design to produce a watch that looks good, too.Easily user-replaceable battery. I wish more companies thought of that!The watch was tested in the Himalayas on an expedition to Meru by Conrad Anker (Wikipedia page), complete with videos on YouTube. (1, 2)As you can see from the pictures, the screen is separated into three areas: In the upper left, circular-array segments are used to emulate an analog face, which is Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 25940SK.OO.D002CA.02 Mens Watch very easy to read at a glance.
