ICE-WATCHICE dune Admiral blue - Men's wristwatch with silicon strap - Chrono - 014218 (Large)

I really don't understand the way in which Ice Watch unisex watches are marketed on Amazon: there's simply not anything about this design to suggest it should be a women's rather than a men's watch. Indeed, on me the watch casing for this large size is simply too large: it's wider than my wrist so I can't do this up in a way that stops it from slipping. This fits my brother admirably, however. I've found Amazon's presentation of the Ice Watch brand's sizing so perplexing that I decided to investigate the manufacturers' own site in search of clarification. On the official Ice Watch website, I found a sizing guide. If in doubt, this is really useful as it lets you print real size paper versions of the Ice Watch range to check for fit before you buy.The watch arrives in an Ice brand cardboard carton that contains a nice - and unusual - presentation box. This is made of durable-feeling plastic and has a vibe that's somewhere between an ice cube and an individual Lego brick. There's a knack to opening this presentation box that isn't immediately apparent - you need to squeeze gently on the clear sides of the case, and then the two layers separate.The watch itself is lovely. The wide silicone strap feels smooth and comfortable. The dial is clearly labelled, and the function knobs easy to use. The colour is bright and vibrant, and the plastic edge to the watch case is a see-through blue that's really attractive. A simultaneously smart and sporty looking watch. A two year warranty is included.I've awarded this a slightly mean 4 stars as it's a really good watch, but it is huge - had I bought this instead of receiving it to review, I would have needed to return it for a smaller size.

This is junk basically junk.The watch is packaged in a plastic box, which slides out to reveal this plastic and silicon 'chronograph'.This watch is purely style over anything else - but why anyone would want to wear a bright blue watch which looks like a slab of plastic is beyond me - but each to their own, so let me stick to the particulars of this as a timepiece.The case is plastic - and by that I mean the case sides are of a blue perspex type block - with a stainless steel caseback.The dial has 'mercedes' lumed hands - lume strength is so so. The arabic numerals aren't lumed and nor are the 'chrono' dials - which are very tiny and hard to read.The (translucent plastic) bezel turns - jerks along at approx 60 clicks - and has a lume pip at 12 o clock.The pushers and crown seem to be screw down - but screwing whither which way they just kept on turning.The crown can be pulled out 1 step to change the date - and 2 steps out to change the time.The strap which ICE watch keeps going on about IS soft, and comfortable, but it's silicon - which means it's a dust magnet .Now, the watch is Quartz and the second hand ticks away - but I tried to read the manual (a small square booklet) as to how the chrono function on this watch works - now I'm familiar with chronographs and love them - I have a couple of Seiko Quartz Chronographs, a Citizen Chrono, a Seiko Auto 'Pogue' - a Breguet Type XX, an Omega Speedmaster Mk II and a Sinn 356 - and chronographs work the same way - whether Quartz or mechanical - push the top button to start - again to stop - and bottom to reset - and other combinations whether it's a 'flyback' or not - now this I couldn't work out - pressing the button did nothing - pressing and holding made the small dial hand move - same with the bottom pusher - so to conclude it doesn't work, or doesn't work as it's supposed to - in other words absolutely useless.I played with it again - trying the pushers again and again - and I got it to work - but it has a ind of it's own - which makes it useless and a waste.Anyway the manual is so small and the writing so minute that I tossed it aside - it's in several languages and confusing.The watch wears BIG - I havve 7.5" wrists and still it looks huge - it's because it's big and bold - and with large big watches going out of fashion - no idea why ICE decided to release this fashion watch in such a large bold size.Overall it's junk - a useless chrono function - dive watch elements which are again useless and pointless - a dust magnet strap - poor lume, and it's plastic and looks plastic.So buy if you want to walk around with a kinder surprise blue plastic watch on your wrist - avoid if you value taste, style, form and function - as this is simply void of these things.You can pick up a similar styled watch for a few quid down the market - or if you want something of decent quality - pay less and get a Seiko 5, Pulsar, Accurist etc with functions that actually work.If you want a big blue bold watch - in plastic - get a G Shock - avoid this piece of crap.Mine was a free review item - this is overpriced tat and I wouldn't buy this item.

I have seen some of the negative reviews and I can see where they are coming from, however, my husband really likes this watch - it is a lovely blue colour, good sized for a man and for the price, is a decent enough watch. He wouldn't wear it for diving, or to work, but with a pair of jeans for knocking about the house etc it fits the bill perfectly. I really like the colour and was tempted to pinch it, but it is too big for my wrist.I think the glow in the dark element could be a lot better, but other than that, it tells the time and it looks bright and cheery.

This is a nice chunky, funky looking watch in a bright blue. The silicon strap is comfortable to wear but far too big for me, if I’d paid for this then I would have had to return it because of this factor. I had a little trouble removing it from its ‘ice cube’ type box but then I discovered that if you squeeze the sides it opens up. The dial is large (I don’t need my specs on to read it) and bright. Only 4 stars I’m afraid due to the size of and inability to alter the strap but this would be ideal for someone with a chunkier wrist.

Tous les jours, travaille sur bateau

Die Ice-Watch Admiral Blue aus der ICE dune Kollektion kommt wie erwartet in der klassischen klaren Kunststoffverpackung bei einem an. Die Uhr besitzt neben dem normalen Ziffernblatt drei kleine Blätter, wobei 2 zum Zeitstoppen dienen. Besagte 2 sind einmal für die Sekunden und das andere für die Minuten. Da das Ziffernblatt über die 12 Stunden verfügt hat man das dritte kleine Blatt als 24 Stunden Blatt definiert, wo man die genaue Stunde ablesen kann. Zwischen der 4 und der 5 hat man dem Blatt noch einen Kalendertagzähler spendiert.Mein Sohn hat einen Handgelenkumfang von knapp 21 cm, was an der schmalen Stelle hinter dem Knöchel gemessen wurde und kann die Uhr mit dem Band im vorletzten Loch tragen. Das Silikonarmband besitzt einen guten Tragekomfort und stört nach kurzer Zeit nicht mehr. Auch die Optik überzeugt, denn diese wurde durch eine Naht und das aufgebrachte Muster aufgewertet.Beim Betrachten der Produktbilder fällt jedem interessierten sofort auf, das die Bilder 2 verschiedene Blautöne wiederspiegeln. Bild eins mit dem Ziffernblatt in der Totalen besitzt einen sehr intensiven und tiefen Blauton, wobei die anderen 3 Bilder eher das Gefühl erwecken, es handelt sich um ein Babyblau. Produktbild eins zeigt die Uhr in der Farbe, wie sie am Handgelenk sitzt. Ein sehr intensives Blau mit einem auffälligen Uhrengehäuse.Die intensive Farbgebung führt aber auch dazu, dass sich ihre Farbe mit der eines anderen Kleidungsstückes beißen kann.Für Sammler und auch Personen, die eine passende Uhr zum bestimmten Outfit besitzen ist diese Uhr ein klares „Muss“. Jemand der eine schicke Uhr sucht, die er/sie zu jedem Dress tragen kann, ist mit diesem Exemplar falsch beraten.

Très beau mariage de l'élégance et du sport avec une pointe d'originalité. Mon fils de 25 ans l'a adorée. La couleur est magnifique, le bleu est plus profond que sur la photo du site et fait plus "classe", moins gadget. La taille est parfaite, ni trop grande ni trop petite. Le bracelet en silicone imitant un cuir ou textile grainé avec coutures sur les côtés, le tour blanc cerclé d'un bleu légèrement brillant, les aiguilles et chronos argentés font un ensemble très élégant et de qualité. La couleur et les fonctions "sport" la rajeunissent et permettent à un public plus jeune (20-40) de la porter.On la remarque, elle met tout de suite le poignet en valeur, bref une réussite pour le style et un cadeau très apprécié!
