In a bit, Graham
I'm currently traveling (in Las Vegas, actually, where there are more watch stores than slot machines!), and don't think I could do the photo/upload thing here. I will be back next week, and will try to send you a useful pic. Thanks again.
Azimuth SP-1 "Spaceship"
Could we have a thread devoted to this watch, just for a while? I know there are references to it scattered about here and there, but they are hard to piece together. I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on this one, at what I think is a bargain...
Quality is not on par with the price
You are paying for design and aesthetic, the quality - finishing and components - is not up to par for the price. The look and display is interesting, but beyond that it has little horological value in my opinion. - SJX
Can you be more specific, please?
I appreciate the response, but what are the subpar elements? Obviously, the design and display are what is appealing; the movement appears to be a respectable, if common, one; the spinning Earth as second hand display is a unique approach; and the jumping...
i'm in process of typing up a review of 10 days on my wrist
if you can wait until tomorrow i'll do it by then. best Graham
As exicted as I am..
I was extremely excited when I first came across Azimuth in a watch magazine. It was a watch the company that was founded by a Singaporean. They've got all the right advertisement on the right places, watch magazines, Wristwatch Annual, etc. My initial re...
Azimuth SP-1, a review after 10 days on the wrist
my new SP-1 arrived last monday and i planned to do a review of it after wearing it for some time. the last post on it was Cen's last year when they were first released so i didnt expect sudden interest before i'd had time to write about it. firstly let m...
Thank you, Graham
I decided to pull the trigger, and my experience is similar to yours. I do have lume down the sides of the minute hand, and the stars on my dial shine quite well in the dark. Thanks for the winding tip as well; one serious objection I have is the lack of ...
i've considered sending mine back...
i've considered sending mine back for lume to be applied, but dont think i can be bothered with the hassle. i might just wait and get my watchmaker to apply some. can you send me a pic of the minute hand please so i can get it right. best Graham

This is a warning!
"toy that tells time" is my trademark. u should put the registered sign next to it and pay royalty to me . I'm in taipei now, went to a nice 2nd store, hyper ventilated after seeing 4 watches that I like, almost fainted when I heard they like cash and wou...
Love the Watch Review!!!
Graham, As is usual, a splendid review. Your photo skills have greatly improved....could it be your daughter's influence?
Informative and balanced…
Thanks Graham, A very informative and balanced report. I like the substantial ‘minute’ hand and it seems that a bit more attention to design detail with the fonts and apertures could have led to a better watch. It will be interesting to see where Azimuth ...
Nice review, Graham..
If I read correctly, the little stud above the earth engages with the hour wheel and flicks it over when the minute hand hits 12? I'm not sure whether I think that's "cheating" or a brilliant bit of lateral thinking...
i'd go for lateral thinking...
i'd go for lateral thinking Ben. its so simple and doesnt affect the movement. it does take a few minutes to 'flick' it across, but its not really a watch where looking at the hour is important. its more a watch that you wear when you go out to have fun a...
Thanks for the review
I don't think there is anything wrong with a "toy that tells time" (registered trademark in Indonesia). Things are what they are - the key is not to deceive one's self in the evaluation thereof. Enjoy. BTW, do you still have and wear the watch with the ch...
