Alpina Men's Alpiner X Outdoor Connected Watch, Multi-Functional, Activity, Sleep, GPS, Message Notifications, Worldtimer, Digitial LED Screen, Sapphire Crystal, 45mm

I have been looking at the Alpina's Alpiner X for a few years now. So far a full featured watch that I haven't even touched the surface of.

It didn't work when I got it. Took it to a watch repair place to replace the battery and it still doesn't work. Turns out the dude at the watch repair shop didn't put right battery in. As far as I know all button type batteries have the same voltage but this one just didn't fit right. I put the new battery in myself seeing how a lot of places like Fred Meyer Jewelers won't touch a Swiss watch. Got it synced up in my phone and everything seems to be okay at this point. Did notice that if you're not constantly syncing up with your phone the time could be off.

I should have researched this more before I purchased. Watch is completely reliant on the application on your phone. You can't control your watch manually and only through the app. So if it doesn't pair to the app you are out of luck. Got mine and unfortunately the 2 year battery lasted 5 minutes.

A well made watch which is easy to operate once you get the hang of it. The "smart" functions will not revolutionize the industry but are handy. A button press away from a 2nd time zone, etc. Beautifully made, well thought out, clear and easy to read. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal definitely works.The downsides are the watch is pretty thick and you have to take the watch off your wrist to get an accurate temperature, etc.Still, for the discounted price I paid I can't complain too much. A nice addition overall.

It’s a decent Swiss made smart watch, the box did not come along with how to set it up, this is a newer model and the box manual did not instruct you to download the Apps, you can only set up this watch if you download the Apps. I had to check online Alpina website and that’s how I was able to set up the watch, also had to the cut short the rubber band to make it fit my wrist, no instructions on that either.

Additionally, watchband is not leather. Its some kind of vinyl, plastic mix. There could be a little cheap leather in there so that they can legally call it leather, but its not readily-discernible. If you're wondering how I can tell, I do leatherwork as a hobbyist and have been doing so for years now.The pleather watchband was not a deal breaker. However, the stopping-working-not-too-long-after-purchase was. To be clear, the battery just didn't die. Some of the electric components are still working. The light behind the digital read out comes on and the hands swoop out of the way when you hit the main button. Still the hands do not tell the time and the digital read out shows no data (time, timer, etc...).I found the smart features to be useless. The temperature function requires taking off the watch and letting it sit for a period of time. But even then it didn't match the readings of my other temperature gauges. The sleep monitor requires either wearing the watch or putting it under your pillow to work. I did neither. The only smart feature I liked was that I could adjust the time by simply turning on bluetooth on my phone and opening up the app.Up until it stopped working, I did like the watch despite all its shortcomings. Its a beautiful watch. When people would ask me about it, I would tell them that I got a beautiful Swiss-made (aka high-quality) watch for pretty cheap ($515) because of the impotent smart features. Now, I know I just got a pretty watch.

This watc has everything I wanted out of an Apple Watch without having to charge it twice a day

The web picture shows a pale blue LCD diplay. In fact it is a dark brown display that can not be seen except in direct sunlight. If you are hiking on a cloudy day or at night the watch functions will not help you. It can not function as a stand alone analog watch. It must be set by your smart phone.It appears to be a quality watch with a sapphire crystal etc. There are better ABC analog watches at a lower price with the same swiss quality.I could not access some of the functions claimed in the write up such as UV level. As with most products you buy today there are no instruction manuals of any use. Even the app provides little in the way of help. You also have to set up an account while providing personal information.

Tenía tiempo queriendo comprar un reloj Alpina, durante el prime day le bajaron el precio haciéndolo irresistible. La pieza es de altísima calidad y te dan por mucho valor por tu dinero

Didn't work, sent back and got a refund.

Me llegó pero sin funcionar. Lo regresé.

This is a great looking watch with basic smart technology for those that care about that. The instruction manual, left a lot to be desired. Wish it was more complete and detailed. 4/5 for that reason, 5/5 for looks and quality.
