Driven by Micro-Magnetic Mechanical Digital (M3D) technology, the Phosphor Appear watch utilizes miniature-sized rotors adorned with Swarovski™ crystals that revolve to reveal numerical or chronological information. With each minute, an electrical pulse generates an electromagnetic field that changes the position of the crystals on the face of the watch, to elegantly display the passing time, while producing a distinctive sound unique to the Phosphor Appear digital watch line. Phosphor Appear The Phosphor Appear watch line skillfully blends design and technology to craft the ultimate fashion timepiece. Driven by proprietary Micro-Magnetic Mechanical Digital (M3D) technology, Appear watches utilize miniature-sized rotors adorned with Swarovski crystals that revolve to reveal numerical or chronological information. With each passing minute, an electrical pulse generates an electromagnetic field that changes the position of the crystals on the face of the watch, while producing a distinctively unique sound. Inspired by ruggedized, urban street signs, the Appear watch offers a bold and elegant spin on the traditional fashion watch. The watch face offers "seconds" and "off" modes which show an entire face of crystals. Features: :: Case diameter: 44mm :: Overall case thickness: 14.5mm :: Water resistance: 5 ATM - 50m :: Display: 12-hour only :: Functions: Time, Seconds, and Off Micro-Magnetic Digital M3D TechnologyExclusively in Phosphor Appear The Micro-Magnetic Mechanical Digital™ (M3D) technology enables the following display benefits: • Infinite Display Appearances: The rotatable rotors can be oriented in a variety of different layouts, while any material can be affixed onto the rotatable rotors ranging from Swarovski™ crystals, to precious metals or gems, to almost anything imaginable. • Ultra High Contrast: Depending on material or paints affixed to the rotatable rotors the M3D display technology can achieve the highest contrast of any digital display available today matching that of ink on paper in some configurations. • Low Power Consumption: The M3D display technology is bi-stable meaning that the display requires no power to maintain an image, as power is only needed when transitioning from one time to another. • Wide Viewing Angle: With a viewing cone of 180°, the M3D technology overcomes the disadvantages of conventional displays when it comes to off-axis viewing. Together with its high contrast, it allows the user to read the time at a glance from any angle.

Exquisite!!!
I adore this watch! Absolutely beautiful! The wristband is a gorgeous pink and is thick and sturdy - genuine leather. I love the clicking sound it makes as the minutes/seconds go by. And it makes a great accessory when turned off!

An Expensive Paperweight
I have to admit I am always a little suspicious about getting items that use brand new technology so I normally wait until others try them a while so they work the bugs out first. I liked this watch so much I didn't wait to buy it and I soon regretted that decision. It was beautiful and cool for two months, then the battery died, or so I thought. I took it to a jewelry store and the battery had to be special ordered since it was an unusual size. I waited three weeks, and the guy kept giving me the runaround. I never received the battery and eventually got a refund. So I ordered two batteries for the watch on ebay. I waited two weeks and still hadn't received them. So he had to send them to me again, another one week wait. When I finally received them, replacing the battery didn't fix the problem. Apparently it is broken in some other mysterious way, and I don't want to deal with it anymore. I don't even get my watch wet, and it's supposed to be water resistant anyway. Now I have a $200 paperweight.

Big - Clunky - Poor Quality
This watch was a disappointment. It is huge and heavy especially for a woman. Also, nothing but trouble with the digital display. Missing parts of digits and now it is froze up. It is sent back for repair. :-(

NOT WORTH THE MONEY OR BEAUTY
The watch is beautiful and a conversation piece for about three months. Then the battery goes! I tried to e-mail and call PHOSPHOR customer service MANY times until one day a woman answered. I thought I had the wrong number because she said "hello" and there was a baby crying in the background (during the entire conversation). She was angry with me for calling about a battery dying after three months because it wasn't their fault; "no telling how long it had been sitting on the shelf". Then I got a triad about how terrible Amazon was because they sell some of the watches cheaper than Phosphor. When I could get a word in edgewise I suggested she take a lesson from amazon in customer service. FINALLY, she agreed I could return the watch for battery at no cost. Would have been cheaper to just get the dam battery replaced BUT no jeweler (5) carried the battery and two others refused to open the watch. Guess what? The new battery was dead in TWO months. Then I ordered the battery from Amazon. One jeweler wouldn't replace with my battery and of course didn't have any himself. Finally found one who did! The watch has worked about six months of the two years I had it. Just let it sit in the box many months between trying to get it working. Kick my own butt, should have returned it to Amazon in the first place. No excuse!!! The best news is when I went to China they hadn't seen this watch but asked to take a good look and said they'd have the REAL fake in a few months. So there Phosphor!

Nice for the first year but turns out to be a DUD!
When I first bought this watch, the first thing that I thought was that this was a HEAVY watch. I liked the face and the way it work. Well, it worked 5 months then died. I was able to get a replacement from the company (back when you could find them on the internet). It lasted another 1 year on and off. Now it doesn't work (face looks frozen) and I cannot find anyone who can fix it. You cannot even find the company on line now. I now have a $219 paperweight now because that is all it's good for (unless someday I might find someone who can fix it. Beware those who are thinking about buying this.

Cool but fragile
Super cool, but lasted for 3 months. Stopped working and was not the battery. Didn't have a chance to return.
