Great report, Marcus!

The Spidolite is an attractive design, although I'd have to pass based on the legibility of the dial. I tend to need a bit more contrast and/or indicators on the dial in order to tell time (This is probably my own personal shortcoming!). Of the models presented I like "The One" best, because of its high-tech presence and easy-to-read dial. The strap integration on all the models is a great design feature. For folks who really dive or participate in extreme sports, being able to couple the various computer modules with their mechanical LW watch is an added bonus. I give credit to LW for choosing to marry digital and analog technology in this way.
Thanks, Marcus!

Excellent case design

Marcus, Thank you for this report. I think the SpidoLite case design is the most interesting introduction since the Royal Oak Offshore. I hope one day a version will be released equipped with a mechanical chronograph. Park
really nice

The Skeletonized Spidolite is ultra-cool. I especially like the unique design of the connection between the case and strap in all the models. The parallel visible screws are a nice signature touch. Another great report and pictures. Thank you This message...

PuristSPro management was intrigued by the hybrid conjoining of analogue and digital display. In fact, we asked the same question of Chopard LUC President K-F Schuefele, who did not rule out such hybrid displays from his products....."if there was an adva...

...in real information, but I do love their little superhero/secret agent cartoon drawings! LW seems to be a brand to watch. Cheers, Daos

For the urban adventurer Really just a GPS module, maybe with a pedometer function. Something for those of us "athletes" who never leave the city! A

for the great report. Had checked out their website a few weeks back and was pleasantly surprised to see several models that i would not mind owning. Gotta love the Two Timer Red dial. And i think there probably is no trial period for the SpidoLite due to...

ad 1) I assume the UV foil is just a gag, and changes the watch appearance nicely. But it has no real function. IN earlier years, it happened that the luminous mass on hands and dials became greyish, as a result of UV radiation. By using better clear bind...
