What appears to be the same watch on the company's website describes the crystal as follows:
"4mm Sapphire-Coated Domed K1 Crystal"
Is this the same as the "mineral crystal" on the one here? Or are they making an "outlet mall" version for Massdrop?

Cloaca"Sapphire coated K1 crystal" is a very deceitful way to say that it's a mineral crystal.
If it were a sapphire crystal, this watch would be a steal. Being that it's a mineral crystal, it's overpriced, regardless of how unique and clever the dial and hands are.

flyinglotus1983What I don't understand is the "coated" part. Seiko at one point had crystals with a thin veneer of saphire laminated to a thicker piece of glass, if I'm reading things right in my research. But coated sounds like they sprinkle aluminum oxide crystals on top of glass and melt it in or something. A more forthcoming explanation of exactly what this is would be appreciated, but the watchmaker probably doesn't want to do that because it would make it more obvious that it isn't saphire. But if the outer 0.05 mm was in fact saphire, then it would be 99 percent as good as saphire in my mind since the scratches start from the outside of the crystal. If you can't scratch that, you can't scratch the mineral glass underneath. But maybe it's more brittle than solid sapphire?

Miyata has an off-the-shelf movement that can drive this thing!?

CloacaIf you look closely, there's nothing weird about the movement, other than way they got the chronograph subdials in a line like that. It's just some insanity with the dial and the hands. I'm impressed with the creativity.

DemogorgoQuite right about the hands.
I seem to get "promoted item" links on ebay for unheard-of and zombie brand watches using this movement all the time. The subdial placement is certainly uncommon, but it's also pretty arbitrary.
According to the Miyota JSxx datasheet , the chronograph seconds is on one of the subdials, so meh.

I have a Xeric from their one of their Kickstarter campaigns. I never was able to quickly read the watch, since it is an unusual design. In a meeting or social situation, it was uncomfortable to figure out what time it was--I did not want to stare at the watch.......Hence, my Xeric never made it into my watch rotation, and sits. I suppose if I were to wear it on a regular basis, I might get used to it. The learning from this for me is: I am a three-hand watch person......Just my 2 cents. Cheers!

dholik8503 I agree. I picked up a Xeric Soloscope and even though it has just one hand, it still takes longer to tell time as you have to count the tick marks for minutes. Of course, when I bought it, telling time was secondary to the design. I usually break it out once a week. It's a nice heavy watch and I get a lot of complements on it.
