It's in there forever. No buttons, no functions, no light, fully waterproof and no changing that 10 year battery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt just tells time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis project begins as a celebration of the Casio F-91W wristwatch. Initially released and unchanged since 1989, this affordable, reliable and accurate timepiece is a beautiful feat of engineering. You seriously can't find another piece of technology that's so ubiquitous and does what it is supposed to for as long as it does without any intervention. It's amazing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIndividually cast into a transparent resin case, each Solid State Watch comes with its own unique imperfections.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003eNo buttons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe electronics of the Solid State Watch are completely sealed, so you can't push any buttons to switch modes or adjust the time. Your watch ships set to whatever timezone you'd like. Eventually your watch will drift. Worst case scenario, it may drift up to ±1 second\/day. But in practice, it will likely be far less than that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003eNo battery changes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Casio F-91W is optimized to last on its 3V CR-2016 battery for 7 years assuming you use the light for 1 second and the 20 second alarm everyday. Since we won’t be using the alarm or light, it should last 10+ years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003eNo light\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYea, we'll miss that cutie LED. Since the buttons are sealed off, you won't be able to access the light. But really... you don't need it and let's save that battery power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003e100% waterproof\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatches are usually rated for water pressure resistance because gaskets and other waterproofing mechanisms all eventually fail under pressure. Solid State Watch is completely solid and waterproof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-italic\"\u003eFun bonus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e: The display of Solid State Watch is visible from all angles underwater. Most watches have air inside them which causes the watch crystal to act like a mirror underwater (unless your viewpoint is near perpendicular to the display).  Since there’s no air inside Solid State Watch you’ll be able to read the display from all angles underwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003eWhat's that orange dot?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid State Watch has a circular fluorescent orange dot placed over the date on the movement. The F-91W movement doesn’t account for leap years, so the date will be incorrect after a Leap Year. The fluorescent orange dot simultaneously masks and draws attention to this imperfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003eWhat about daylight saving time?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re hoping DST goes away soon. Until then, many countries still use it. Since you can’t adjust the time on a Solid State Watch, you can remember to adjust for DST in your head for part of the year or.... get 2 watches ;)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003eMaking your Solid State Watch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re casting each and every Solid State Watches in our Brooklyn Studio. The process involves a series of steps, beginning with a 3D print of the main body printed on a Form 3 printer. Then we cast, heat, vacuum and UV cure a movement set to your timezone into the body. This casting process is done in multiple steps to achieve our desired finish. All of these steps are done by hand, and we embrace the slight imperfections of the process that make each watch unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustom Hook Strap© Elastic Watch Band by Nick Mankey Designs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid State Watch ships with a Lunar Grey custom printed Hook Strap\u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003e©\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eElastic Watch Band with brushed metal hardware, handmade in California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize : 32mm x 38.4mm x 10mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight : 19g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLug width : 18mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstimated battery life : 10+ years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMovement : Casio F-91W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery : 3V CR-2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCW\u0026amp;T is the art + design practice of Che-Wei Wang and Taylor Levy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith backgrounds in Architecture, Film and Computer Science, the duo met at NYU ITP where they began their scale and medium agnostic approach to making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned and Made in Brooklyn NYC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CW\u0026T","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58120111817049,"sku":null,"price":155.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/1639\/9705\/files\/DSC9340-Edit-169_1024x1024_1.webp?v=1779456497","url":"https:\/\/harrycjwix.com\/products\/solid-state-watch","provider":"Harry C.J Wix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
