Another fail
I received one DOA as well. Seller suggested replacing the battery, but I pushed back. Awaiting replacement.

Wow! so far about 30% failure rate! I was considering ordering about 5, hoping a couple would work.
I suppose these all come from the same plant out 'east', but can we name the source, so perhaps the next 50 guys can avoid this batch of lemons? ( or the total lack of testing etc.!)
as cool as these are, it would be more than disconcerting if you looked up, and the thing showed the same time as it did on takeoff......2 hours later! I expect most everyone is using a better way to time their actual fuel consumption, right!?!?
(..........such as................???????????)

I received my replacement yesterday, running fine. The company corrects errors quickly and politely.

It's a novelty..... Just use it for local time.
Let's see what happens to them when your engine shakes the sh*t out of them for a few hours......

My new watch!
Well, my new watch arrived and it's ... BIG. Not used to such a large watch. However, looking like a panel instrument will allow me to at least dream of flying Smokey while the weather around here stinks ...

And heavy! I expected it to be all plastic.
I got two and both are working. |
