Yes - it's unique. Yes - it's special and kind of masterpiece, especially for enthusiasts of astronautics. I really love it! But - that kind of love with struggles... :( The greatest problem - "Super Lumi Nova". Seriously? Maby my watch is defective but it doesn't glow in the dark at all. In fact - my Oris from 1973 lights much, much brighter than that "super luminova". Also leads of my Festina 6761 glows much brighter... Very shame - without bright glowing that watch is almost unusable without daylight or powerful artifical lighting. Second problem is - that is not kind of watch you can use to easy reading the time - but that's something I can stand. Summarizing, if that "super luminova" which almost doesn't glow even just after very sunny day is only problem of my watch, please XERIC contact with me to fix the problem (Watch was founded on Kickstarter). If it is to be like that - only 3 stars from me, despite all the charm of this small masterpiece :( PS I really, really hope so new version T-Rappist NASA will be much brighter in the dark - because of my Early Bird pledge... For that reason I choose "Apollo 11" version - to have a chance to use it after sunset...

I things that are different. I'm also an astrophotographer so this appealed to me. The problem is. I CAN NEVER see it in the dark. The shows of the luminance glow must have been long time exposures because this has the weakest glowing material I've ever seen in a watch. = ( The cool grid over the top also often makes viewing the time difficult... and FORGET VIEWING THE DATE in that tiny window. But to be different, it's cool. To be actually functional... I find it can only tell me the time about 20% of the time I look at it in various light conditions and various times of the day. So for that 20% I'll give it 2 stars. (quite disappointed). if the GLOW material actually did and the date window could be seen... and I could tell the time any time day or night. I'd give it 5 stars.

I like the concept very much, however I'm disappointed with the execution. There needs to be a much clearer contrast between the moons that indicate minutes/hours, and the lattice work that we are seeing them through. That being said, it's a beautiful watch! Just a few tweaks and it will be perfect! Maybe thinner lattice, or brighter moons, or both.

Made with amazing quality materials. The tempist watch is not only stylish and functional. it also thinks ouside the box for keeping time as well as the lunar phases. Great watch. I may buy another one.

One of the main features is the stars but they glow very little and not for long. It is difficult to read the time and the date is too small for my eyes to see. Quality and concept are good.
