UNBOXING MY NEW Cool Quartz Watch! Fun Mondaine Stop2Go BackLight!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The Swiss Railway Clock is probably one of the most iconic designs for watch enthusiasts who have had the chance to travel in Switzerland using the public transport. This bauhaus inspired watch was designed by Hans Hilfiker in 1944 and is keeping people on time ever since. Adding a quartz watch to my collection wasn't an easy choice but with a few fun features of the Mondaine Stop2Go Backlight it was a no brainer.
Hope you enjoy the unboxing and let me know what you think!

@@SwissWatchGang I might have been mistaken. When I was looking a couple of years ago I saw both a quartz and automatic version of the Railway Watch. There was also a Stop2Go at about the same price or more than the automatic so I assumed it was an automatic. But then I've noticed that Mondaine has severely reduced their choices since back then. So maybe they're scaling down due to the recent economic downturn and it turned out to be a limited release watch.

@@springinfialta106 I think there never was a automatic Stop2Go model since mechanically achieving this feature would make the watch much more expensive.

The stop 2 go is the one I should have got but I don't see it available from Mondaine Web site and have read its discontinued, so not sure why unless it was a poor seller but I would have thought the Swiss would have jumped at it ?

I like the basic 5600, though I have a 5610 and a GW-S 5600 as well. The basic 5600 shows the current time in the stopwatch and timer, but the more sophisticated modules (like the 3159) show the hours in stopwatch time and the beginning time in the countdown timer. Careful, G shocks can be addicting.
Honestly, the movement captivated me to such an extent that I was able to ultimately break the grips of a long time sexual addiction I had (i.e. compulsive public exhibitionism.) I think this watch is not only my best buy and conversation piece, but a breaker for evil compulsions and evil spirit posessions

Quartz is cool too - as you're aware, I own a quartz Victorinox, and I'm very pleased with it. I think you should do more quartz watches under two conditions - firstly, if you're going Swiss, I suggest that you either go high - end, or if you're going low end, go for something iconic like the Mondaine/my Victorinox. If you're going Japanese, you should check out the GS 9F series, the Citizen Chronomaster, and the Seiko Kinetic line of watches.
I really like how unique it is. I would consider it if it were mechanical and had a date.

Is this this the only Stop2go Watch of Mondaine and where to buy it?
So, after 3 years. How long does the battery last?
I generally don't like anything to do with quartz movements. However, a few have made it through my filter. This is one of them. I've had issues with the second hand failing to move. There's a reset function to align the second hand, which gets it moving again. I have replaced the battery and it seemed to solve the problem, but it recently started up again. Maybe I have old batteries..or a defective watch? Regardless, I do like this watch very much for several reasons not mentioned.. The second hand clicks 4 times per second. So it looks like an automatic low beat. It comes on a black or red band, but I have it on a vintage inspired red nato that looks absolutely stunning with this watch. I heard somewhere this actually has two movements in it, one for the second hand and the other for the hour and minute. A quartz watch can find its way into my collection if it is very unique..this one fits the bill...now if I can only get it moving consistently again!

You may wish to know that these watches are very sensitive to the battery voltage. When it is low the second hand will not continue to stop at 12 it will tend to stop at various positions anti-clock wise. It is so sensitive that leaving the watch off your wrist (lower temp) for a few days that the batt voltage will drop and the second hand will no longer stop at 12. It can be reset by pushing in the crown for 3 sec but it will loose position again if the voltage drops.

If the Swiss made a new automatic movement that achieves the Stop2Go with a sweep second hand... yes, that would be 'proper'. But a second hand powered by a quartz Ronda movement that runs 58 seconds and halts and then continues... oh well. For me, it is the iconic Bauhaus movement. But you are right, the baton hand and just playing with it until we get bored with it... I love the look but 'quartz' to me is a horological joke. Might as well stick to the watch that follows Internet time...
