Seems a bit low for the lifespan of the coil. Most watches will need to be serviced after 10 years if they are continuously running and have moving parts.
Who's the target for this watch? I get that larger sizes are more attractive to non-enthusiasts, but they aren't going to spend this amount of money on some weird tech watch when they can get a Tudor, Longines, or Tag Heuer for the same price. And enthusiasts want more wearable sizes. I'd have been a buyer of this at 40 mm or under.
The mechanical rotor you feel is actually what is making the two power rotors spin when you move the watch. In summary: It's a quartz (probably high frequency) watch powered by a classical automatic rotor, storing the energy in big capacitor(s), but where all the conversions from mechanical motion to electrical energy and back (from charging the capacitor to draining the capacitor to move the second hand) are done using electrostatic motors. Cool.
Love my 2020 Spaceview! It definitely gets lots of questions from people. Where did you get the green strap? Mine has a black one with green stitching, but the green looks really good.
I had an original with the battery conversion but changing them every year or so was annoying for a novelty, and it seems in this instance this continuation is also a bit "needy".
Such a underrated watch. Wish Accutron brought these movements back again, but at a more affordable and small size range
Very annoying to watch when you move the damn thing constantly...
Shake it to get the second hand working?? I've got an old Vostock Komandirski just like that!! ;)
I have been told that the capacitor coil, a major component of the watch, can last only for about 10 years. Is it true?

what’s your wrist size? I wanna get this one but I have around a 6in wrist so Idk if I’d be able to pull this one off
Something like Seiko's kinetic movement

Have it and love it.
