I purchased the Orion Planisphere watch and it is nice It really works, I like it, but it covers latitudes 35-50. It leaves out over 1/2 the U.S. population in the south. It does cover 90% of the population of Canada. If it would have started at 30-50 like the Star Target Planisphere sold by Orion it would cover 90% of the U.S.and Canada population. It would have been nice if they would have thought the design out better. I live at 29 and my entire state of Texas is pretty much left out like most southern states.

I bought this watch for my son trying to get him interested in science and astronomy. The watch was fine for about a year and a half. Then the battery went dead. I took the back off, purchased an identical battery and then found I could not get the backplate back on the watch. Not being an expert or even having the right tools I then decided to take it to the experts. I took it to 3 jewelry stores and in each case the jeweler could not get the back back on. None of them had ever seen anything like it. The seal on the back covering was so tight that they could not push it back on with all of their equipment. All three felt that is was shoddy workmanship.

Just received the Planisphere Watch as a present. Well made and attractive, I'm sure that this will be a "conversation piece" for those who see it on me and I am glad to have it. The only drawback is the difficulty I had in removing the pins from the band links to size it for my wrist. A more user friendly band would have rated it 5 stars.
