Another day, another watch :-D
This one is another of the watches that is confusing to tell the time with at a glance.
The watch is by o.d.m and called the Mysterious VI. The model number is DE01.
o.d.m (or just odm) is a Hong Kong brand established in 1999, and stands for "original, dynamic, and minimal". The back of the watch also states they have "the art of experiment........ ".
This watch is indeed minimal, having no buttons for features, instead cycling between the time and date (seemingly only when moved). There are two pen operated buttons on the back for light and time settings.
The time itself a two row LCD, but read in columns, so at a glance it may appear to say 3:78 or 3:79 in the pictures, it is really 7:38 / 7:39.
The lack of buttons also makes it hard to set as you use a button on the back to get the digits flashing, and then the watch slowly cycles through the numbers, increasing in speed the longer you wait, until you press the button again. Pressing too early or late means you have to cycle through the setting process until you get it right. There may be something in the movement sensor that helps, but that is difficult to use while being ready to press a button on the back that requires a pen to press.
