Purchased in March 2017, Some rambling observations.Overall about the watch itself, It’s true! people will comment about it. It draws attention, I’m Italian and stereotypically I wave, point and emphasize my words. Recently the police were at my house thinking I shined a laser at a helicopter. Nope, officer. just my watch face. You see this watch face casts a orangeish reflection on nearby objects sure to drive any cat or unknowing human insane. Fortunately, for cat’s everywhere I’m not a cat owner nor do I have friends so both issues luckily avoided. Time wise, it kept very good time and date (i think), Yes, that number in a 4 size font between those black bands is the date. I can’t make it out, so i’m going to give the technology credit and assume it’s correct. So far so good.About a month ago it started losing time increments, like in 15 minute clips. While it was behind in time, I was still in the present time so no, this is not an undisclosed feature. I was and am late thou, I tried to use the orange glow like in ‘Men In Black’ to flash my bosses eyes to forget I’m late, it did not work. I set the watch to the correct time often, it did not want to stay anywhere near present day, who could blame it?That brings me here. I set it last night woke up this morning it was like I never went to sleep at all. Guess it’s time for a new watch?

This is a stunningly attractive watch. The black metal contrasts nicely with the glass. It really is the nicest looking watch I have ever owned.When I took it to the jeweler to get some links removed, the jeweler remarked how beautiful the watch is. The glass has an amazing multi-color appearance, and changes as light hits it from different directions. I’m 5’11’’ and 220 lbs. Hopefully that helps you with sizing the watch. I had three links removed and it is still very loose on my wrist.It is as heavy as it is attractive too! You won’t forget you are wearing it. It is also very large. Since that is the current trend anyway, that is ok with me. I like it.Let’s get this out of the way…this is not really a smart watch. Granted, they call it a “hybrid smartwatch,” but still…In 2018, I expect more if “smartwatch” is in the product name. You can configure it to vibrate when you get a notification, but only from a select few contacts…6 contacts to be exact. The watch hands re-position themselves to the numbers (1 through 6) that correspond to the contact that has just sent you a message. You can only read the message on another device, since this “hybrid smartwatch” has no screen. You can also configure apps to notify you in the same way.Initially, I asked my wife to text me after I configured #1 to represent her, and nothing happened when she texted me. Then I added my sms app in the Deisel app configuration, and asked her to do it again. That time, the watch vibrated and the hands moved to notify me of a notification. I am puzzled why it did not work when I had her setup without having the sms app setup.You can also configure the three buttons on the side of the watch to do specific things, like take a selfie, cycle through modes, and control your music. To take a selfie, the camera app has to be open already, and to control music, your default music app has to be open and playing music.It doubles as a fitness tracker and sleep tracker as well, but wearing to to bed is uncomfortable.I did not have to set the date and time. I am assuming the app setup on my phone did it for me over Bluetooth. I should also mention that the app is required to setup the watch and you must register an account to do so.Mine arrived with the battery half dead, so I ordered additional batteries.Overall, I would have called this a “smartwatch” if it came out in 2013. In 2018, it is limited in functionality when compared to real smartwatches of today. This is essentially a fitness tracker in the body of a beautiful watch.

This watch is pretty large, so be aware of that before buying. If you have a small wrist/arm, this thing will look huge. It is, however, a nice-looking watch if the size is right for you. The dial is easy to read, and the hands are easily visible. The watch comes in a very nice box that adds to the presentation. The band feels solid, and the controls are as well. The issues I have with this are outlined below.The batteries should be rechargeable via USB, making buying and replacing batteries unnecessary. As it stands, you will replace batteries fairly often if you use the “smart” features of the watch.The watch really shouldn’t be called a “smart” watch, as it is extremely limited in function. I feel like the watch should have been sold simply as a large, nice-looking watch. How smart is a watch that doesn’t really provide any useful information. If you have this connected to your phone, you have to have your phone with you in order for it to communicate, and the phone actually displays information.Stick with a Samsung or Apple watch if you want a smart watch.

I own a lot of watches and this is one of the more attractive. The dial is big and bold and the blue color on the dial and hands is incredibly striking in person. The product photos just don’t capture it. It’s an eye grabber than will get you comments. It’s almost entirely metal. The crowns are plastic but you can’t tell without touching them. It’s big and feels heavy on your wrist. I wouldn’t say it’s uncomfortable, but I prefer watches that don’t remind me that they’re there like this one does, so if you don’t like heavy watches don’t get this.The smartwatch functionality is very limited. There’s no digital display, so it just does things like vibrate when you get messages. It has fitness tracking functions but it’s so heavy you’re not going to wear it all the time and certainly not when your exercising. But as a regular watch I give it high marks for attractiveness.It comes in a nice box suitable for gift giving.

I love the look of my watch, it is really classy and it does provide some hybrid functionality. Here are a couple of gotcha’s so to speak. 1. If you are middle aged like myself and your eyesight is slipping then this watch will prove to be challenging to see with out readers. It is a very classy watch and I loved wearing it around the office. I even got some compliments. But messaging and alarms and all of the “hybrid” functions prove very difficult to see. Making it essentially useless to me without putting on my cheaters. 2. The band gave out on me about 16 days in. I did not put it through workouts or biking or other vigorous activity but I went to get up out of a chair like a normal person would and the pin holding the clasp together popped. Flew off and was never found again. The clasp dropped to the ground and my watch fell off my wrist. Very disappointing quality from Diesel but I rolled with it and thought I could just find a better looking band. Which leads me to 3. It is an odd millimeter. It is a 23MM lug. That is not standard at all. This is very frustrating when trying to find a replacement band.

This is a beautiful watch. It is heavy and well constructed. It’s true that the face is quite large, but it looks great. My only criticism is that you can barely feel it vibrate when you get a notification.

The watch is beautiful and is everything I was hoping for. The only flaw I can find is that the sleep tracker is not that accurate. My previous fitness tracker was a Fitbit with heart rate monitoring and compared to the accuracy of that device, the performance of this watch is a little lackluster. My guess is this is the best they can do without a heart rate monitor. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone looking into it.
