WOMW ladies edition

[Popoki Nui]

The Atlas came today. I was pleasantly surprised to like the 30mm size, and the red face was nice, and well, girly. The bracelet was a disappointment. It was very short...usually I have to have 2-3 links removed, and I could barely get this on. Probably a function of the titanium, but it felt very flimsy compared to the Eco-drive I was wearing when the Momentum arrived. The watch also came floating around loose in a cardboard box without proper packaging and no paperwork. Overall, I was unimpressed and promptly returned it to Amazon.

Well, that's a shame! Maybe you received a returned watch? I doubt Momentum would be pleased to know how their watches are being sold by Amazon...
I know the Ti bracelet on the Format 2 I had felt cheap and flimsy, but it wasn't. It was very strong, but it felt weird so I switched it for a strap.
Is there a better place to try another purchase, either online or in person near you? Seems a shame to give up over a sketchy Amazon transaction.

Something totally different (for me) on a Friday!




(My cat snuck in there.... Hi Buttons!)

It's big and the only digital that I own - and I pretty much love it. Oddly enough, it's by far the watch I get the most comments on from random people.

The nearest AD for anything other than a Citizen or Timex is a whole day's trip for me, so I'm pretty limited to online shopping. I'm not excited about pursuing another Momentum. Too bad, because red watches (except fashion stuff) are hard to find.

A couple of comments:
- We have finalized new packaging that has been tested by amazon, will start shipping in the next couple of months (to reduce situations like what you describe because the watch goes through a lot as it makes it's way through warehouses and the post)
- if you mean instructions by paperwork they are kept in the base stand.
- extra links should have been in the same compartment (if not we are happy to send more for free!)

Usually people are quite fond of our bracelets, we use amongst the highest quality ones that I know of, solid titanium with solid (not folded end pieces). Titanium is extremely light compared to steel, deceptively so...and can take a bit of getting used to.

Hopefully you give us another shot? And if you have problems give us a ring we are happy to help!!

Thanks for your response. I'm glad to see your customer service appears to be top-notch, but I've already returned this watch.

Understandable, that's the great thing about buying on amazon.

Finally got around to playing with the hands of my beater...it's amazing what white-out can do! (Sadly, white-out doesn't glow in the dark. =P)

^ Was there a particular reason for doing this? The original lume didn't look too bad...

I second that I would have totally left it vintage looking..... what a great piece to start a collection :)
