Android Stance Chronograph
Picked this one up on Android's last sweep through the Slop. At $99, I thought I would give it a try. I have always wanted to try a lume dial. It arrived and the mrs. really liked it, but I had some issues as described below. So I ditched the metal bracelet and put it on a Panatime two tone vintage strap with light green stitching. Let me know what you think. These are just some quick pics.
The good:
-Price (although somewhat negated by the strap mod purchase)
-Lume dial and bezel is pretty cool
-Lume Android "A" on the crown (not shown, but nice touch)
-wife likes it, says it a nice spring/summer watch
-Strap mod really settles it down as far as size and weight on the wrist
-The lume dial really lights up (I haven't taken a lume shot yet, but I'm sure there are plenty out there already)
-Screw down crown
The bad:
-Invictroid styling, definitely overwrought. Close to looking like an engine part on the wrist.
-Too heavy for me with the bracelet.
-Impossibly thick at 16mm. I think Wing does this to achieve the deep colosseum dial, but it really doesn't need all that thickness.
-Crown and stem feel flimsy and ready to break when unscrewed.
Overall I find it a modestly amusing watch. At $99 it really was worth a try. I will wear it through the hot season and see if it is still in my watch box come 2013.
Thanks for looking!

Well at 99 dollars you could do worse. Nice pick up for the summer.

MrN, you always seem to have a terriffic eye for matching subtle tones between watch and strap; this is no exception. You turned one of Wing's rather annoying watches into a genuinely nice, color-matching watch/strap sync-up. I'd be proud to wear that watch, sir. (And, as an aside, I find that MrsMort really knows her stuff when it comes to fashion and style; I would guess that MrsNeds is no different. For that reason alone I would keep it... )

That strap made a huge difference. At first sight all I could think about was a baby shower. Now the watch looks good.

DANG it, Neds!! I kept coming back to this page, and I ended up buying the same doggone watch! And now I'm fighting off the temptation to get that Panatime strap... So my question is, where did you get that amazing strap...? I promise I won't wear it on the same day as you...

Mort, the strap is straight from panatime.com. I think they are having a 20% off sale, check WL.
