Feldo Final Report

And once again, 15 days have come and gone, and the Feldo is due 
to head back home.


So let me try to sum up -


From Feldo - here are the technical specs:

  • Wrist watch diameter of 45 mm
  • Stainless steel case, black plated (PVD)
  • Japanese quartz movement (Miyota)
  • The wristwatch is driven by a 10-year battery
  • Pressure-resistant up to 5 bar (50 m)
  • Weight 95 g (including bracelet)



What has been interesting is that more than one woman has 
asked to try it on and the feedback was fairly consistent - 
while it was larger than their wrists, they LOVED
wearing it.  They loved the look, the size and the fact that 
telling the time was not so "obvious".

In terms of time-keeping, it has been perfect.  While this 
is something that most of us have come to expect from a
quartz watch, it is not always the case.  The Feldo passed 
with flying colors.

For a watch at this price-point, I must say that the finish and the attention 
to detail were first-rate!  The PVD (easily an aspect that can often be neglected) 
was perfectly executed. 


In addition to the main case, Feldo also treated the back of the case.  
This is something that you don't always see, even with watches
costing ten times as much.  

One of the key themes running through the Feldo is "complimentary contrasts".  
From the multi-color/multi-layered dial to the pvd with the stainless 
steel crown and interior bezel - not to mention the stainless steel fasteners at
the back of the case!  This is something that instead of distracting the wearer,
actually compels them to take a closer look.

The rubber strap is in a "tire-tread" pattern and is secured with a 
stainless steel clasp -

The result is a very comfortable to wear watch, that can 
stand up to daily use.

I must say that for the price point, this is a very, very 
impressive and unique time keeper.  Feldo has a winner!
