## Description

ASTRO II Constellation Watch - An astronomical watch with a manually rotated planisphere / constellation disc. A map of the heavens complication. 42mm case size. Constellation display of the entire sky at 35 deg. North Latitude / North Hemisphere. The ASTRO watch is perfect for anyone interested in Space, Science, Astronomy and the night sky. This quartz analog watch displays a wealth of data - Current time, Current positions of the constellations (set the planisphere disc via the crown at 3-o-clock), once disc is correctly set you can read azimuth and altitude of the major fixed stars, nebulae and star clusters, local sidereal time, stellar spectral type, pole star hour angle, hours for astronomical twilight and other functions for astronomical observing. Most of the celestial sphere (approx. 98.6%) visible at 35deg. north latitude is displayed. The range shown on the constellation dial: –55.57deg. to +77.06deg. declination. The constellation display includes the positions of 1,056 fixed stars with a brightness of 4.8 magnitude or brighter, 169 major nebulae and star clusters, delimitation of constellations, ecliptic and celestial equator. The position of the sun is shown in a broken line along the ecliptic (the sun's apparent path on the celestial sphere during the year) on the 1st, 11th, and 21st of each month (for 12:00 noon Universal Time over the mean year). Times for sunrise and sunset as well as the number of daylight hours can be determined by examining the horizon line on the crystal underprint. Local sidereal time can be designated by reading the right ascension graduations on the constellation dial that intersect with the meridian on the transparent dial. The hour angle display of the pole star lets you align an astronomical telescope to the polar axis. Quality components and construction: 100% Japan quartz movement, 42mm 316L stainless steel case, 20mm black silicone rubber strap, 3 ATM water resistance.

Review: Gorgeous statement piece - Is it the most practical timepiece ever? No. But the aesthetic is immaculate, and lets be honest, I bought this solely for the look, and on that front it absolutely delivers. The watch part is great, and although the planisphere is small which makes it difficult to read, in my opinion this is more of a statement piece than a functional one. You also have to manually operate the planisphere with one of the dials; it’s not automatic or integrated into the clockwork. I get lots of compliments about it, but do frequently end up having to explain to people what a planisphere is and how it works. When I actually need to use a planisphere to identify constellations it’s much more convenient to just use my phone, but I love wearing this watch anyway - it’s so unique and interesting and looks gorgeous on my wrist.
Review: Confusing, but lovely to look at - So cool. I love the look, and idea. The recipient has worn this daily for a year now, and hasn't gotten it scratched or witness any issues. It is beautiful to look at and really fun to show people. The issue is... We don't know how it works! The details are confusing, we can't find any instructions online, and the ones we received are incomplete. The actual intricacies and cool details are so tiny it's near impossible to actually see. Though, it came in the coolest packaging, perfect for gifting!

*by A***R on June 6, 2018*

I really want to give this a good rating because it's so beautiful but I am pretty frustrated with it actually. The instructions that come with it SUCK! I wish I had known that before I spent so much money because I really want to use its functions but I don't know how and it seems really hard to get any info from the seller. For such a nice watch it should have a better manual.
