The Unemployed Philosophers GuildAlbert Einstein Relativity Science Unisex Analog Water Resistant Novelty Watch

I bought this product in the event somebody notices my watch. It makes a fun conversation starter. It's the reason I bought two other watches. They make great conversation starters.

So I'll try to be quick and to the point. I really loved this watch, it looked great, was comfortable, and stylish with my apparel etc...Now for the bad news:1. The watch was extremely NOT waterproof. I'm talking you wash your hands once and you've literally got water droplets in the watch face. This is not normal!!! The watch was never even submerged or even showered with, but it soaks up water like the freakin titanic!!!2. The band tended to smell pretty bad now and again. I'm a very clean person, but the band would smell like sweat after 3-4 days. I would take it off and clean the band with a q-tip and hand sanitizer and it would be ok for a few more days but this was an endless cycle... The smell was bad enough where I would have to take the watch off because I was embarrassed, it smelled like rotting leather. (It probably was.)3. Well last but not least I had the watch for less than 30 days before the band just randomly broke while I was walking to class. Literally less than a month!!!4. My god I almost forgot, the last 2 weeks I had this watch, the damn thing kept HORRIBLE time... It literally lost 3-5 minutes PER DAY!! Seriously, like can any watch have this many problems??? It blows my mind!!! I could probably buy a $5 watch off e-bay and have better quality than this. Really sad since I liked the design so much. Hopefully soon some other company will remake this watch and do it correctly, because the design is awesome, but the watch is total junk!So in overview like I said, even with all the messed up things with this watch, I still really enjoyed it and was fine dealing with even having to clean it constantly and making sure to be extreamly careful when washing my hands not to get too much water on it... and then re-setting the time EVERY MORNING...even after all that, then the dang band breaks after less than 30 days of use!!! This just sends up red flags to me that it's total junk. I think I paid like $29 or something for this watch on amazon, and I thought I was getting a deal with all the extra features this watch had (rotating face...). The fact was, I basically rented a piece of junk watch for more than a dollar a day until it broke... Do yourself a favor and go for quality, not looks. This watch looks cool, I have to admit it, but trust me... IT IS NOT!

this watch is tremendous - it is a talking point at both parties and business meetings, an excellent ice breaker. It's also great value. When you're at a party and fairly sober it provides no end of fun when the less sober members ask for the time....

The unique and quirky style of this watch fits me perfectly. I love the movement of the numbers and the questions it elicits from people, like "why does your watch do that" to which I always reply, "to illustrate that time is relative." People also ask "how can you tell time with that," I then have to stop myself from rolling my eyes as I explain the the hands tell the time, not the numbers.

The face of the watch is nice and the idea is great. There are no instructions with this and the band is very cheap looking. I bought this for my boyfriend and he very nicely said to re-gift it to my 8yr old. Not a watch for an adult, unless you want to change the band. It kind of ruins the look and idea. The bank is thin and much smaller than the face of the watch which makes it look very cheap.

I bought this for my husband, who is a physics graduate student and has been really into his relativity class. He thought it was cute, but like other reviewers mentioned, he was annoyed about the 8 being represented by "e", since the constant e is approx. 2.72. This is a tiny detail, but it drove the physicist in him nuts ;) He took it apart and scratched it off, and turned it into 2^3.Other than that, he thought it was a cute idea and liked the watch. Some reviewers mentioned that the band was crappy and they replaced it. My husband actually liked the band a lot because it was plain and not very flashy, as many mens watches can be. He liked the simplicity of it.I love that instead of a second hand, the watch face rotates. It's a cute idea and a great gift for the nerd in your life :)

The media could not be loaded. Amé el reloj. Realmente es muy bello y el detalle de que los segundos son los números inscritos me parece maravilloso. Un muy buen regalo para aquellos que adoran los diseños únicos y vanguardistas.

Though it looks nice, the watch arrived without working. Not acceptable for a new watch, even if it was only the battery. Therefore, I did not try to change the battery or anything like that. I sent it back immediately and Amazon reimbursed me right after that. Good idea, but whoever sells this needs to do some quality control.
