Great report, Marcus!
The Spidolite is an attractive design, although I'd have to pass based on the legibility of the dial. I tend to need a bit more contrast and/or indicators on the dial in order to tell time (This is probably my own personal shortcoming!). Of the models presented I like "The One" best, because of its high-tech presence and easy-to-read dial. The strap integration on all the models is a great design feature. For folks who really dive or participate in extreme sports, being able to couple the various computer modules with their mechanical LW watch is an added bonus. I give credit to LW for choosing to marry digital and analog technology in this way.
Thanks, Marcus!

Basel 2009 Report: Linde Werdelin

I like the idea of combining a mechanical watch with an external digital diving device
even though I'll probably never ever use one of these in the future since I don't go diving. I checked out their website and they have a "Try It For Free" program on their steel Element watch where you can test the watch and diving instrument for 5 days a...
Excellent case design
Marcus, Thank you for this report. I think the SpidoLite case design is the most interesting introduction since the Royal Oak Offshore. I hope one day a version will be released equipped with a mechanical chronograph. Park
really nice
Very nice report, much more understandable then their internet site. I'm actually contemplating ordering the speadolite. I agree that for once it is a rather succesfull design. Regards, George
Something out of a sci-fi movie...
The Skeletonized Spidolite is ultra-cool. I especially like the unique design of the connection between the case and strap in all the models. The parallel visible screws are a nice signature touch. Another great report and pictures. Thank you This message...
Even without Svend Andersen........

The LW website is a bit lacking...
...in real information, but I do love their little superhero/secret agent cartoon drawings! LW seems to be a brand to watch. Cheers, Daos
I want the Sidewalk
For the urban adventurer Really just a GPS module, maybe with a pedometer function. Something for those of us "athletes" who never leave the city! A

The digital module would be worth investigating..
if it had GPS andf a decent battery life.
Thanks, Marcus...
for the great report. Had checked out their website a few weeks back and was pleasantly surprised to see several models that i would not mind owning. Gotta love the Two Timer Red dial. And i think there probably is no trial period for the SpidoLite due to...
Quick replies ....
ad 1) I assume the UV foil is just a gag, and changes the watch appearance nicely. But it has no real function. IN earlier years, it happened that the luminous mass on hands and dials became greyish, as a result of UV radiation. By using better clear bind...
