Just got this and LOVE IT...I read all the recent pros and cons of the current watches on the market...a few years back I toyed with a Time Machine but hated so much about it...The one complaint I do share is the look and feel...so far I bought a new band which helps alot...I wonder if anyone has messed with engraving the case, taking watch to jeweler and enhancing the face somehow or even swapping insides completely to a similar sized real watch?

I am lucky enough own a few watches.No money but a few watches.
They include The watch, T watch, timeless, lynx watch, Glitz watch and 4 other watches from days gone by.

I have found they all have there good and bad points points and all have different features attached and so can not be looked at one or the other.
It would be nice if one was slightly slimmer and the other a remote. But for me the customer support I have received from both the Turners and especially João has been second to none and that goes along way in my mind.

Personally I like the Watch, the only issue I have with it is the back is a pieced of plastic that just sits in place. It would be much better if it was fixed in place as it does come out very easily. As for working it, it is a joy. YES the keypad is pretty big but none notices you use it.
I have mine in my pocket while the focus is obviously on the watch. I really like the vibrations letting you know the hour is set and then again when the minutes are set. Knowing g the the hands have moved is also an awesome feature.
The only issue really is that it is super light, almost too light to be a decent watch! Although none ever thinks about it while it is in their hand.
I used few of Joao's effects and thy are all great.

Oh I forgot to say the vibrations are quite heavy so you cannot use it in a quiet setting. Fine in bars and events but impossible at home or dinner parties where people are quiet or there is no music on. Any heat on you and the remote will give it all away if you are sat around a dining table!!
Good luck and enjoy.

After having seen this watch in a YouTube comparison with the Infinity Watch V2, I am very disappointed by the design (looks very cheap) and also the workmanship (press cover that probably won't sit tight for very long) and also the chunky remote control. The price is in my opinion a good $100 too high and an expensive packaging is not necessary. The undisputed advantage is of course the fast time setting (if it works 100% reliable) but all in all the whole package is not convincing for this price. I am very excited about the "Infinity Watch V3" and its new features and of course the price, but I think that the V3 will do well.

Did anyone ever find a solution to the noise issue when performing in quiet locations? I'm desperate to add this to another routine but I always try to have things that can be performed in most environments -including quiet ones.

The watch I had was way to noisy and thick. I just got SB and love it.

It seems like magic companies like to release same kind of product at the same time.

Joao Miranda makes good products, but this new version is $200 more than Bluether's.

I do not yet have the SB version but I agree that this watch , which I do have, is too thick. Not going to spend $450.00 on this. I would rather get the SB version.

The thickness of the Miranda Watch was a barrier to purchase for me from the start, but I liked how it worked.
Not sure the Watch is long time relieable. The SB watch is a bit too plain designed for my taste and therefore
I tend more to Bluether V3 without extra smartphone and app.

Magic Dust,

Thank you for your opinion. I purchased the Bluether V3. I wonder if Miranda will 0ffer the revised remote to those who previously purchased The Watch.
