CHIP katgirl iceman Robb iceman How's your experience been so far? Mine lost two minutes in the first 1 1/2 hours last night. I thought maybe I measured it incorrectly. I wore it through the night to test the lume, then saw that it had lost over 13 minutes overnight. I reset it this morning and it's lost one second in the last 11 hours. Hopefully it was just an initial glitch.

I think it needs to be broken in.
They will replace it it's more than 5 seconds per day.

I haven't really timed either one yet, but I know they aren't noticeably off. I do like the way you can kind of hack them, like you can a Speedy Pro. I didn't know that Swatch was guaranteeing near COSC specs, so I will check them both, and report back. I did notice it takes nearly 2 hours for the date to flip. That doesn't bother me, though. They must be designed that way. As someone mentioned, the silicone straps are ridiculously comfortable. You barely notice you're wearing a watch....

I haven"t really timed mine either, but they appear to be consistent after setting yesterday. My initial thoughts…….. I'm completely WOWed by them. So thankful that Chip and Anna went out of their way to pick them up for me. I have been wearing the black since yesterday and it fits great. The leather-like band is a little stiff at first but is starting to form nicely. The blue has a silicone strap that is the most comfortable strap I have ever worn.
Im blown away by the coolness of them!!

I'm feeling left out. I think I'll start an AP owners thread...oh wait, that will be lonely too! I want to see a black one IRL. My name is on the waiting list with the Denver Swatch store. Hopefully they will call soon.

Same here Roger! I think I am veering more and more towards the red one.

Neat watches! I can easily see why they're popularity around here keep growing.

I've been waiting for these to hit the US. I read that they're already available in NYC. Can't wait to check them out in person.
