Maybe your Moonphase will arrive by or on your birthday! That would be great if it does!

It should be here tomorrow hopefully - few days ahead of my birthday. Will I be waiting to open it on my birthday?WileyECoyote wrote: ↑Wed Mar 12, 2025 5:59 pm Maybe your Moonphase will arrive by or on your birthday! That would be great if it does!

If you rotate the moon disc a few clicks to the left / anticlockwise, so it's sitting between the 12 and 11 markers, it'll be in about the correct position for today.Massman64 wrote:Struggling with the bright sun, but here are a couple with the moonphase adjusted. We have a full moon in two days so I will will adjust then.
It is exactly what I was hoping for, a moonphase watch in an everyday watch format.
Correct. Enjoy.Massman64 wrote:Never mind, I understand what you are saying now. The adjustment moves it counterclockwise but in operation the moon will move clockwise.
The JJ04 movement moonphase disc doesn't 'click' each day - it's on a continuous glide. (This just for anyone who's new to the delights of CW moonphases). It's one thing I love about the watch, and one thing that separates it from most other moonphase watches. For some reason a 'clicky' moonphase disc is something that has put me off other watches in the past. Setting this one is a joy - though best done at full moon or new moonBahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Wed Mar 12, 2025 9:27 pm If you rotate the moon disc a few clicks to the left
If I may, a couple of related questions from someone who doesn’t own a moon phase watch.

So, the click - I think (though I never checked at midnight) that clicky moonphases click over with the date change. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but traditionally the moonphase disc was geared from the date mechanism. The JJ04 movement separates the moonphase function from the date mechanism allowing for a different way of moving the moon across the sky. And that is as technical as I can getAmor Vincit Omnia wrote: ↑Thu Mar 13, 2025 8:03 am

- When you set your watch to the full moon, will you be doing so at the exact time stated? If so, how precise is it possible to be?
- As I’m pretty sure you have owned a clicky moon phase, does it click over at midnight like the date?
- I’ve read that some of the names for full moons are Native American?
