Nice watch

This is a nice watch. Be warned however this is a very large watch not to be worn by someone with small wrists. Not only is it large in diameter it is also very thick and heavy. Works for me I have big arms and wrists. My only real complaint is I for the life of me cannot figure out how to turn off the hourly chime which annoys the heck out of me. The only other thing to mention is the band is very difficult to resize and is not the best quality I have seen or own. I paid the sale price of $69 which is fair, I would hate to see someone pay the list price for this watch it is not worth it. Stauer was such a disappointment to deal with this will be my only watch purchase from them.

STOPPED STONE COLD

INCREDIBLE! Just "hefting" it feels like uv taken control of ur world, temporally at least.

Beautiful, buttons, baubles, bangles - no beads.

Looked thru the enclosed catalog; now I KNOW I've chosen the Alpha watch!

Is it possible, after all these decades: a FUN chronometer? Fun to set, measure, announce world times and to SHOW-OFF & impress. Looking forward to my next date's reaction and to parade this beauty in a tux.

Deals galore. Saving REAL money on fashion + function is the definition of value.

A great toy, statement, representative of who I am.

Beautiful Watch!

This watch was a birthday present for my husband. Although the picture is wonderful, it doesn't do justice to the watch, it's so very beautiful! My husband is over the moon! Thank you Stauer!

Excellent time Piece

This watch is absolutely the best looking wrist watch I own so far, in Digital and Chronograph for easy reading and the color bursts out of the Large face and the nice metal band with a nice crisp and clear crystal cover it's getting comments on my first day wearing it and it fits with any attire be it a suit or blue jeans & t-shirt. The back light button lights up the back ground separate from the hour and minute hands which are night glow already. Nice Job again Stauer I'll be ordering more for my collection I already have and their all sure to flatter anyone. Mike F

Delighted!

Absolutely delighted with my Blue Stone Chronograph. The heft of the instrument, its appearance and its performance, AT LEAST equal those of much more expensive timepieces. A great buy which I wear proudly!

Its ok for the price

Its pretty good. The look is very nice and has a back ground light as well. Its heavy and the face does not appear as blue as the picture. Its more grey looking for sure. It does not have a 24hr digital option.

It is a larger than normal band. I took it to a watch store and they pulled a couple links out no problem.

Blue Stone Chronograph

Great buy. It is a beautiful watch. Functional. Big. Have to have it sized to fit my wrist. Not pleased with the color. It did not come to me with the dazzling blue face that caught my eye. It shipped gray-blue. : ( I was told the whole shipment came that way; that I could return it if I didn't like it. That costs me $8. Bummer. I will keep it but I can not trust Stauer to ship what they show on their catalog.

Great Watch but......

Fantastic watch, many comments and looks, weighs a ton but with the looks worth the weight.
Have a slight problem in that the glass had a chip fall out, it is large but down at the twenty five mark, extends from the twenty two mark to the twenty eight second mark.
Bought the watch here on line but no one can find records of the purchase. Still waterproof so it stays on my wrist for now.

Fantastic Value

Just received my fantastic Christmas present and am amazed at the beauty and obvious precision workmanship. Only bobble is wrist size. Supposed to fit 7" to 9". As delivered it is 9"and I need about 7.5".Adjustment method not obvious. Can it be done by a normal Jeweler? What is the 1/100 indicator for and why does it flash about every 3 seconds? Love the watch and don't want to send it back. Hope the size adjustment can be handled cheaply. Thanks much

how to take out links

Alarm tone

Love the watch but keep getting an alarm that has to be silenced...... Anyone know how to shut this off? It is an alarm that goes off at random times

DENNIS

great watch Tough band

This watch is very heavy so those of you looking for a light on your wrist might not like it. It is very accurate but for me a little small on the digital display. The band is adjustable by removing links with a tool you can buy on line. Look inside of band to see which way pins come out. However this band broke several of my pin tips before I was able to make my adjustments

AMAZING !!

was actually surprised at the size a bit larger than i expected, i soon fell in love with the ease of features, the Blue face + digital time and date, the best feature for me is the light.
Nothing was overlooked in the details, well done !!
Added to my Stauer collection.

Stauer Blue Stone Chronograph

My first Stauer purchase, but not my last! Lovely watch!! Like many of today's popular styles, it is large and heavy. But it is also easy to read. The instructions are not as straightforward as they might be. But with some thinking and trial and error, you will accomplish a perfect setting.

Love the Watch

I was impressed with the beauty of this time piece when I first saw it in a mailout and had to order one. It is better looking on my wrist. Very good quality.

Great Timepiece

One of the best I have ever owned and I am a former aviator who has owned many. if Ned from Quitman AK has not had his watch adjusted yet, a quality jeweler can do it.
I had 4 links taken out and needed the fifth, but it was not available. Therefore, I have a slightly loose watch that takes control of my left wrist because of its weight.

Astounding

What a Great watch! Metal band was too heavy for me. Found a blue leather band that matched the color of the dial perfectly. This is my 4th Stauer watch with 2 more on the way.I have had so many compliments on this watch that it is my daily watch. When I have a Dr.s appointment I ask them if I can put this watch in the case that it came in

Great Watch But ?

Looks great and very accurate. The only thing I need to know about this watch is how to turn off the alarm. After numerous tries to get it to not go off, I set the alarm to 8:00 am. I know how to shut it off when it goes off, just do not want to set any alarm. Anyone know how to do this?

Exceptional watch

This is a beautiful watch that garners looks and compliments wherever I go. This is my ninth Stauer watch and one of my favorites. As always great quality and value.

Ron Mendoza

Very nice time piece

Very nice, well made watch. Only quibble is the diameter of the face is huge, you better have large wrists and hands otherwise it takes over your entire arm! Reduce the size of the watch face and you have a winner! Suggest including all dimensions of the watch body (in inches please, we are in the USA) with your ads.

Low quality plating

At first I liked the look and performance of the watch. Unfortunately it didn't take long for the chrome to start wearing off. Now with the watch being just under 6 months old the chrome on the crown and buttons is completely gone. I guess I'll have to find a watch made completely of stainless steel, not plated.

Sid

Inadequate instruction manual

The instruction manual has some glaring omissions. Plus, this is the thickest and heaviest watch I have ever seen. I bought it because it has an alarm, but the watch is just too cumbersome. I screwed up.

Ernest Lane

Trinity, FL

Need better instructions

Watch looks good. Note that it is huge. I guess that is in. But I will only be using this watch if I can figure out how to have it stop chirping at every hour transition. The instructions tell me nothing about this. The instructions that come with it, are the same as the instructions that are available online, and they talk about how to set the alarm, but say nothing that I see about turning off the annoying chirp.

Dan

Raleigh NC

Unimpressed

The watch is larger than I expected and a bit gaudy in my opinion.

I measured my wrist as instructed but the watch band didn't fit and I had to get a jeweler to adjust it to fit.

I bought it for use when traveling to a different time zone. Unfortunately the alarm is too low to hear to wake you from sleep. Also, now the alarm will NOT turn off. I've followed the minimal instructions sent with the watch; I've varied the instructions assuming I was reading it wrong; and looked in vain at the website for the further instructions that are mentioned, to no avail. The alarm goes off every day and can't be shut off; only moved to a different time.

Great value and band fitment

Nothing was misrepresented by Stauer.. or by any user reviews. I'm very pleased with my purchase. I was concerned about band fitment from reading some reviews here so I figured I would share some details that may help others with similar concerns.

With all links the band circumference is 9.1 inches (with the fine-tune pin all the way out). As was mentioned, you can remove 4 links.
Each link is 3/8 inch. The fine tune yields another 3/8 inch, across 3 different settings. So 5 x 3/8 = 1 7/8 inch or a minimum band circumference of about 7 1/8 inch.

Note that you want the band to fit slightly lose. Rotating my wrist while moving it up and down, the watch slides about 2 inches, which it comfortable for me. Also, check fitment on both wrists... I didn't know my wrist were different sizes.

I did not buy the band adjustment tool or take it to the jeweler. I McGivered a setup using a modeling T pin, clothes pin and a hand clamp. Most wouldn't have this around. I recommend the tool or

Turning off chime

Love the watch, but had the same problem with random alarms/chimes as DENNIS from FT WORT TX. Instructions are poorly written and don't seem to work as expected. Still trying to get chime silenced.

great watch

Great price, nice watch. Was wondering if the digital display can be set to show date instead of time? I know it can toggle but I mean to leave the date.

LINKS REMOVAL

Got the watch from Amazon. The watch looks great. Band was about an inch too long. Went to Stauer website to see how to remove a couple of links. I have removed links from Movados, Seikos, and Invictas with no problems. After an hour of banging on the edge of the links with the arrows I gave up. Later, with 5X magnifying glasses, I was able to discern a tiny circle on the edge of the link. Had to grind down a tiny screwdriver to the diameter of the circle and got the pin out. What should have been a ten minute task, turned out to be a 2 hour ordeal.

Boat anchor with persistent alarm

I've had this watch for about a year, but gave up on it. I downloaded instructions for it, but they are marginally effective. I don't know how I set the alarm and am unable to turn it off using the supplied instructions. Very very heavy to wear. I can't believe there are no other low ratings!

Nice Watch

I just received my second Stauer watch, love it! I can't figure out how to change the day of the week in section "I". The directions are not clear enough. Please advise it says Tuesday.

Superior Timepiece

Received the Chronograph as a gift. It's a keeper!
Compared to other chronographs I've owned, this one is SUPERIOR. Favorable comments from friends and family.

Very easy to set-up in both Analog and Digital timekeeping. Keeps accurate time with NIST.

Couldn't ask for better performance.

How to Questions

Larry, Look on the inside of the band. You will see three links with an arrow imprinted on them. Get a small jeweler's screwdriver and a small mallet or hammer. Gently tap the end of the pin that is in the link where the arrow is. Remove the pin and repeat for up to three links. The connect the remaining band to the clasp.

Dennis, hold the bottom right button for two seconds and while holding push the top right button. You will hear a chirp and the alarm indicator will change colors.

ME?? I am lovin' my Stone Blue.

Size Problem

I have just received my Stauer Blue Stone. It is indeed beautiful. However, I'll have to wait a week to use it because the wrist band is too long. I had to take it to a local jewelry store where I was told that it would have to be sent out to have 3 links removed. This is costing me $25. There should be a way to adjust the wrist band length but there is nothing about that in the instructions.

How to Questions

Dennis / Bob A. Hold the reset button down and press the mode button. You will see the day indicator go blank. This indicates that the chime is off. Repeat to activate the chime.

I durable

I have had this watch for over a year. Was a little disappointed that the color of rhe watch face wasn't as blue as depicted. It is my go to watch which I wear for all my rough jobs, and it is my first watch from Stauer. I did nreak the pin that secures the watched band. Otherwise it has held up admirably and still and I often get complimemr

Excellent watch, but not the band.

excellent watch considering its price. In a nutshell: five stars for the watch, one star for the wrist band. The band is poorly made and undeserving of the watch.

Great look, lots of heft. Enjoy wearing it. I need to take it off when working at my desk because the band scratches the desk top.

Good watch, terrible instructions

Just like Dennis and the other post about the alarm. The instructions tell you how to set it but for what appears to be the way to turn the alarm off, nothing I have tried works. Watch is pretty and otherwise seems to work well. The band, contrary to the person stating the band was heavy, seems to be a very cheap and lightweight band. Overall I am fairly happy with the watch.

love the watch

you offer ALL of your watches with these type of watch bands or leather/fabric but you NEVER offer them with a stretch/flex like " twist-o-flex" watch band in which i preferbecause the steel bands do not flex enough or are as comfortable. how about offering a "twist-o-flex" band also ?? i already have 2 Stauer watches and have changed the bands because i do not like them.

blue stone chronograph 33208

To answer another customer: the watch is battery powered for both analog and digital movements. My
comments: watch is far more accurate than advertised one second per day. This applies to analog movement and I assume digital. I set analog time to my local Eastern North America time zone EDT/EST. I set digital to UTC (United Kingdom standard {not daylight}) because as a radio amateur I log in UTC. My QUESTION does alarm work on analog or digital time of clock?

Warren

Acworth, GA, USA

A beast!

Watch even larger than expected. Digital loses 2-3 minutes a day. Need to carry the instructions to make adjustments and the alarm is hard to reset/turn on and off. Nice looking, but face beginning to show age. Tried going to leather band, but had difficulty making it fit-finally gave it to my grand son who has larger arms and is a techie. Will pay more attention to sizing when purchasing another timepiece.

Bold and Beautiful

This is my first ever Stauer watch and it is a beauty! It caught my eye in the catalogue with its sheer elegance and sauce combination of analog and digital function. And the shimmering blue face makes it look both classic and futuristic at the same time. This piece is solid! I just had to have it!
Now it is true that the stock band is too big. Best to just replace it with a band of your choice. I prefer leather ones and thats what I got. I do wirh the display would show the date instead of the time. ( a button needs to be pressed to show the date) but this is minor. Instructions were a little sparse but was able to figure out. Overall a great timepiece and I am very pleased with it! Highly recommended.

Mark

Bold and Beautiful

This is my first Stauer watch and I absolutely love it.It has a commanding presence which is elegant, and has a symbiosis between classic and futuristic look. The blue face shimmers and the LCD displays are both fun and functional and its heft and solidarity gives the wearer a proud feel.I have already had several compliments on it. As other reviews have stated, the band is too big and not on the same caliber as the watch. I replaced mine with a leather band which I prefer. The instructions are a bit minimal but I figured it all out anyway. I highly recommend this beauty as its a great value for the money.

Blue Stone

I have had my watch for a little over two weeks now. I must say, I was a little apprehensive about purchasing this watch but, I took a chance. I have to say I love it.I get compliments every time I wear it. It is a beautiful watch exactly as described. One thing though, I would love to have this same watch in black. Stauer, I hope you're listening.

Watch Band

I have a 8inch wrist and I took the watch to my Jeweler and ask him if he wood remove some link's to fit my wrist and he told me the links could not be removed to size it to fit.

Nice watch but....

This is a very nice watch that was given to me as a gift just over a year ago. Sometime in the past week, the dial hands stopped...digital parts still work. I can't find anything on the website showing what the warranty is. Oh well, be careful...you get what you pay for.

Ted

West Haven, UT

A lot of functionality for the money

It is rare indeed to find a decent chronograph for under $150 but at $79 this one fits the bill. It''s a stunning watch to look at as well but be forewarned it is HUGE! This is the only watch in my collection that can be seen from space without augmented vision. My only real complaint is that it is a royal pain to adjust the band so if you are one who prefers a do-it-yourself experience you might want to seek out something else. Once you get the band adjusted though the watch looks feels and works great.

Foxy indeed

Of the many Stauer watches in my collection this one became an instant favorite the moment I opened the box. This is not a cute watch smartwatch or girly watch with a chunky band. The Blue Stone Chronograph is the tech-laden child of a Gulfstream IV and a monster truck. It''s big solid sophisticated and strikingly beautiful. By offering such a masterpiece of a watch at a price point like this I can only say Bravo Stauer bravo.

I expected a blue face but I got a green faced watch nevertheless I get compliments galore every time I wear this beautiful watch. I am even tempted to buy another of the same watch with a different band and the Rose gold tone finish.
