    Repair History on Forum Project Watch

    I am wondering how many of the Forum Project Watches have had problems. Please only answer the poll if you have one of the original batch of numbered watches. I am not thinking about damage due to accidents such as dropping, immersion, or abuse by small children. I am just interested, since there have been a few reports, in what percentage of the watches arrived to their owners with some sort of defect or malfunction. Thanks.

    I did not answer the poll as I have not taken #46 to my local watchmaker yet. I will do so soon...probably next Tuesday. At that time, I will check #1.

    No problems here. A tad fast at about 30-40 sec a day, but nothing I'd send back for.

    Just to clarify:

    Do "problems" include damage due to the watch being dropped or struck against solid objects? Or are you specifically targetting where the watch arrived with a pre-existing fault? I would assume the latter, but it would be worth making it clear in your post.

    Mine arrived in that condition that I have stated previously. It stops often and when tapped or hands adjusted slightly it takes off again. The hands btw are not stuck on each other when it stops. I just don't want to send it back to Hong Kong unless I absolutely have to.

    The latter is what I intended. I will edit the OP. thanks for pointing that out chascomm. These polls are always tricky!
