I have this watch for about 4 years and this is a great watch. Both stylish and functional.
Two time zones and alarm clock are very useful when traveling.
The leather strap worn out after about 2.5 years of wearing on alternate days.
drummerHow would you describe the alarm loudness?
I have a somewhat similar watch BL5250 with the E812 previous movement (E820 on this drop) and on mine the alarm is undetectable unless I hold the watch against my ear. This is a common problem with the BL5250 - the titanium back is too rigid for the piezo element to vibrate it.
larsvIt's loud enough especially then you put it on some hard surface (like desk). I clearly can hear the alarm even outside the room. Not sure if it can wake a deep sleeper, though.
